LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every couple of months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

47.42 Arizona: Kingman Wash wandering...invariably in wonder. 47.49 Same area, effectively Nevada, different hike, color galore.

A view of Lake Mead from Arizona side. The border of Nevada and Arizona runs along the middle of the lake. On days of turbulence in the water (not the country), it can be rather tricky to know one's status (state-wise).

Wandering into the desert, off trail.

A mix of 'glass' and water.

Not smug, just happy.
The distinctive Fortification 'Hill'. The road to the trailhead has deteriorated so we have not been up to the peak since 2018.

Picture taken earlier from summit of Fortification Hill, the mountain shown in picture above.

Some of our favorite scenes of desert color.

Tell tale sign of wind velocity.
The highpoint of this wandering. The approach to the mountain is on the other side.

The colors of the water are different each day. What a daily show!

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
