Lazarow World-Hike-About

Laguna Lake from the peak per telephoto. Contrary to popular belief, probably unpopular sentiments too, one of Jenni's strongest attributes is tracking. (She found me, didn't she? Huh? Okay, some you win, some you lose.) Back to this powerful feature of hers. Ever since we emigrated to the bush, she developed a knack for following animals. She has her own style, perhaps differing from the skills of formal trackers but they seem to work. Just yesterday, we went into an area in San Luis Obispo where heavy bear activity has been experienced lately. We wanted to find the said bear or bears and explain to them their activity was not conducive to making the locals happy. With the added pressure on residents caused by ol' Covid, people need an avenue of release and what better place than climbing the various morros in the region. However, bear activity would of course, discourage many from pursuing this important pastime. We found the hike, it turned out to be wonderful...

More than a fine all-round hike which, had we not had a previous booking, would have camped at the lake that night. Rated tough and beautiful, we would agree entirely. Day-in, day-out, the treasures abound. This location, some 8 miles above Highway 50, is covered in lakes, mountains and boulders and probably a lot more. Gorgeous is a word that springs to mind. My dear wife has limited my use of the word 'beautiful'. Perhaps she wants me to reserve it for her...I can live with that. Reaching the first 'twin' before heading beyond and above it to other lakes. Clarity of the water up high. On the way up, we missed the waterfall. Really an observant couple. At the time we spotted this sight, we were on the hike and thought it was a cloud, the first seen in ten days. We then traveled to Nevada and it became clear it was smoke. We stopped on the road to observe the destructive forces of nature. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey
