LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Argentina: Laguna de Los Tres.

'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.

49.19: Berryessa Lake: We thought the first visit was memorable but the second was...

We wanted to find a route to the ridge away from the formal trail we undertook 2 days earlier. Fortunately, we were successful and the day proved to be outstanding. Here's a taste: 


We found our own way, north of the lake, to a position we identified two days prior (see blog below). It did not disappoint.
 Note the fire damage of the trees and the recovery at ground-level. Remarkable and still attractive.
 The steep hike became easy as the mind focused on the pleasure of the surroundings rather than the stiff climbs.
 On the previous visit, this section was the main view with many facets. From this angle, it still is gorgeous but plays a lesser role. It provides some perspective for the set of photographs below.
 Continues next week... 

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
