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.
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.

48.22 Page, Arizona. Exploring above the banks of Lake Powell.

When we think we know that which lies ahead, we limit our opportunity of gaining a lateral perspective. For, each opportunity spotted along the trunk, branches into many different avenues. 


Castle Rock. Call me odd but I love the scene enhanced with the aid of good light.
He looks into the abyss and what does he see?
"What a dodo? If you're going to stand on edges then be a real man...bird. This is what we call an edge-cum-private toilet."

There are no trails but it is in fact a pleasure land of seeking and finding ways up, over and down the boulders, rocks, mounds and hills. At every position the outstanding scenery confronts a person. The coloring is surreal, the views beautiful and ever changing because of varying shades of light. Combined with solid exercise, honing one's climbing skills and satisfying the soul with incredible visuals, it's hard to beat this informal hike. 


The scenes are exquisite around Lake Powell.
I think Jen feels the same way.
Follow that curve.
The sun hits the bank.
Clouds provide more subtle light.
When gazing at the scene and understanding the necessity for power generation and transmission, nevertheless it also illustrates the approaches of man and nature. An observation, no agenda. 
So much variety in rock formations...preparing to jump.
Continuous absorption.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
