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.

48.51 California: Palm Springs: South Lykken trail rises above the city steeply. 48.52 South Lykken from another approach.

When a person gazes into the distance from above, the sights viewed provide deeper perspective—it’s another dimension in play. 


First obstacle is to get above and past that crest.
Second challenge is to hitch a ride/flight on the way down.
The third hurdle is to get close to the group before it can consider us hostile.
A further challenge is to get out of Dodge, away from the mass housing and living conditions.
Plan seems to be falling into place as long as nobody falls.
Besides keeping a close watch on us, they are still comfortable.
A little off-trail exploring.
Even a waterfall.
I suppose a little (lot) side-tracked.
Jen reaches a high point.
Jen does what she does so well.
We chased after the plane but they did not allow a late boarding. Apparently, our masks were too sweaty.
Jen had to walk down as there was room for only one more on the helicopter. What can a person do.
Guy on the left looks rather regal. Now with an opening at Buckingham Palace, will he take the gap?
Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
