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.

49.05 California: Quarry Hill, Morro Bay 49.03 San Luis Obispo, Bishop Peak.

These two hikes took place in Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo respectively. The former was the first time we have wandered in that particular park which proved to be rather enjoyable. The latter, Bishop Peak, is almost a must to undertake every time we visit the region. We did commence it from a different trailhead but for the rest, it was the usual good challenge with a nippy top. 

Follow that curve...the bay and the ocean beyond it.
Pretty rich farmland and delightful mountains, hills and morros.
The Los Osos side of the bay.
The Bishop Peak hike. 


Just below the top of Bishop Peak with a couple more stretches of the legs to reach the top.
Jen reaches her own high and seems pretty pleased.
An attractive view from the peak.
Matzos house...the first thought that sprang to mind.
The final turn and leap brings one to the genuine peak.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
