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.

48.18 Arizona: SARA Park, Lake Havasu: Bike paths and trails of 'Scratch and its sisters', amongst beautiful surroundings.

SARA Park is a treasure for the community of Havasu Lake. It has some easy hikes, interesting and tricky climbs, a wilderness region that offers wonderful hiking opportunities and of course, almost constant views of the water. As we have mentioned many times, the Colorado River always does a remarkable 'job' in beautifying whichever region through which it flows. Take away the hot summers and a person could easily retire in the area. In fact, for those who are nostalgic for the old British Empire (could be some of those still around), they even transported and re-assembled London Bridge in the city.

We suppose should one agitate sufficiently, who knows, perhaps the Eiffel Tower could find its way to the town. On second thoughts, with the move to destroy statues of important historical figures, there must be some real bargains available. Heck, we'd gladly take one of Washington, Jefferson or Lincoln to name just a few. Clinton and Trump? Perhaps send those to England for refurbishment or China for 're-education'.

Hang in there...just a few more steps.
