Lazarow World-Hike-About

When we come across beauty in the wilderness, it feels like a reward. When we focus on the source of such beauty, we obtain a better understanding of where we live and that such beauty is a mere tease of what actually exists.   To begin, you paddle your kayak on the lake which looks like a river. You reach terra firma, beach the boat and walk in the slot canyon. By that stage, you have cake...well, caked in mud. Depending on your risk profile, you can hike to the end but not before undertaking some bouldering. Reward. More reward. At this stage, you may sing "I'm in Heaven"...provided you don't have a voice like Jeffrey's...better to hum, they demand. You then struggle to re-launch the kayak, accumulate more cake (mud) (heck, we're getting old) and paddle back to the beginning. And you want to know what real success is despite the incredible outing and beauty witnessed...that a couple can still talk to each other after paddling in sort...
