Lazarow World-Hike-About: 56.01 Morro Bay, a new beginning at a (temporary) slow pace.

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.

56.01 Morro Bay, a new beginning at a (temporary) slow pace.

Back on the road. Second stop is to visit young Winnie who is less than 2 months old. Thereafter, we'll continue to keep it local until Tenerife, as we work to achieve strength, fitness and hopefully, complete healing. A debt of gratitude to my darling nurse who forced me to undertake the procedure and then nursed me back to health, including, inter alia, washing and drying my toes daily. Just before the 6-weeks post surgery period, I became semi-independent and can now undertake those functions myself. Of course, through a number of complications, twists of fate and serious praying, I will still not me able to perform culinary functions (no cooking). (What a blessing!)

Black-and-white in color at the Bay.

"I told you we should have brought the 'Do Not Disturb Sign' with us. But would you listen? You can be such a whet for a sea otter."

'Some enchanted evening, you may see a sunset'...not bloody likely on this one. (I'll settle for the gorgeous gal.)

Morro Bay's morro at distance.

Looking good, Challenger!'

"Hey, Otto: You mind giving me a scratch on my nose? My nails are very wet."

"Ot? You remember the musical group: the Drifters? You're taking it too literally, Honey. Come closer."

The odds are stacked against your survival.

Hoo-Doo you think you are?

'The kid is back' or, that's his back. Well, they say from 70, a person begins over again. (6 weeks, two days post-surgery and still whining as well as in my youth. Some things never change).

Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
