LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Eastern Cape, South Africa: Storms River region.

'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.

54.32 South Africa: KwaZulu-Natal: (Previously omitted) Camel's Hump and Sugarloaf plus a long way to get to the formal commencement point. 54.33 Jim's Cave. 54.34 Echo Cave.

This is from our most recent trip to South Africa (March through May), previously omitted. Similar views, particularly of Sugarloaf and Camel's Hump, can be viewed from each hike. 

Jenni returning.
 Returning to our accommodation. Capturing a building and a mountain, two different environments, one position.
 Sugarloaf (a target) (right of Camel's Hump) as seen from our commencement point.
 Sugarloaf from somewhere close to reaching Camel's Hump.
 The real climb about to begin.
 A treat along the way: Eland below.
 Always spectacular: Another view of the Amphitheatre.

 Jen's cave.
 Jeff's cave. Where's Jim?
 Burn to avoid fires.
 Well-earned rest on the hump.
 Should have seen the face before the camera was focused on her, on the way to echo cave...echo cave...echo cave.
 Overpowering scene of the book/movie: 'From the Terrace'...well, nice idea.

 Cheers,
