LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Eastern Cape, South Africa: Storms River region.

'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.

48.19 Tonto National Forest: Arizona trail, passing the Roosevelt Cemetery.

This was a relatively short hike that is part of the Arizona Trail, one that travels extensively through and about the state. What was particularly enjoyable about it was the inclines and descents are balanced in both directions. In addition, we moved off the trail to reach a peak that we had seen from the other side of the bridge. Reaching the top made for an exciting climax, although like most things, was more difficult than anticipated. It's the story of one our lives.

Fascinated by this bridge. Before this hike, we'd only been on the other side of it. (We'd take both sides...supposedly, you could say 'We've looked at bridge (life) from both sides now".)
