LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.

'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.

55.22 Andorra: Above and Beyond Querol Lakes (Ransol district), including Animal Farm.

Jen above the first lake. Across the way is the ski complex of El Tarter, the town of our residence.
Adjoining El Tarter is that of Soldeu, another ski complex. We've walked to the peaks on two occasions each...as if there's not much to do in Andorra.
Family time. Cattle, sheep, horses and the rest spend their days grazing non-stop. It's a phenomenon.
Mommy, mommy. Human or animal, kids make a difference.
The lagging factor.
The following three pictures indicate Jenni's locations to provide perspective in these colossal mountains. 

Looking toward the top of the El Tarter Ski-slopes from across the way. Jenni stood at the marked position the day before. (Jenni, 'a woman of letters.') (See below for reciprocal.)
Her current position is fairly close to that indicated above.
The reciprocal position to the above. Beyond Querol Lakes looking from the top of El Tarter ski-slopes.
Approaching a sharp fall-off as the usual hazard surfaces: wind.
Testing the slope ahead.
The kid is not fit yet. This newly born foal just does not have the energy to eat all day without slumber.
A new arrival on our planet: Tired eyes.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
