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. 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.

55.19 France: Luz Ardiden: Hike up to a truly beautiful, serene and as always, tough region.

Much ascending, often sharply.
 For perspective, after spotting Pic du Midi, we had to reach that top the next week.
 Approaching Pic du Midi from the side, an unusual trail/not trail (30-40 miles further away than the above photo.)
 We look back at the cattle grazing on a peak. Only when we looked at the photo (tele), did we notice a few horses amongst them (to the left). 
 Classical Pyrenees.
 The French countryside, Alps and Pyrenees are gorgeous.
 Always a path, trail or a way to reach a mountain peak.
 Jen on the way down only to rise and stretch for the top.
 From the peak we peek into the town. Next photo shows us spying.
 Peeking at the locals down in the town of Cauterets.
 Cheers,

 We'd guess this little one was born earlier that morning. 

A few days before, we sat in Spain, just beyond the border with France, as we traveled to the latter country. The initial views, not to mention refreshment in Jen's hand, augured well for a special visit to the beautiful region.
