LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

San Ramon: At first, I thought it needed explanation. Not true. Top Left: "You're kidding me. After hiking 4 miles from the base below, you still want to climb up there...and snakes...?" The stance revealed it all. The rest is self-explanatory, too. (Not part of the formal trail either).

'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. Our 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.

48.06 Arizona, Lake Havasu City: The Lizard and it's tricky sections.

One of the many hikes previously unpublished as we seem to hike more than write.

 

Jen sits on the peak of the Lizard after brunch.
An optional extra but irresistible.
In these situations, who can not help but be pleased.
In our own simple world, parts like this we refer to the 'Hillary Step', a reference to Sir Edmond's triumph on Everest. Our imaginations do take a run quite often.
Closing in on the peak.
A glimpse of Lake Havasu, another part of the world influenced by the Colorado River.
Finally, through the telephoto, we meet the lizard.
The lake in the heart of the city or closest to it.
A seat with a view.
The city is larger than one expects.
After the Lizard, we continue wandering up and over the hills.

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
