Lazarow World-Hike-About

Jen reaches the pinnacle in Slovenia, looking into Italy. The previous day, a little further away, we stood on the border of Slovenia, Italy and Austria—we had breakfast in the latter country. Call us strange but there's something superb in crossing international borders on foot. Standing on Mount Kanin. They keep a map of Southern Africa for reference. What was quite memorable on this trip was the occasion when I returned from a trailhead. Jen injured herself in a fall a couple days before and I hiked on my own a few times thereafter. I was ten minutes away from our apartment, hike completed, when a guard stopped me on the pass. They had closed the road for repairs. I was stuck. After research, seeking advice from various people, to return home I had to drive back and past the trailhead, spend a further 40 minutes on the road in Slovenia, enter Italy, pass Austria and eventually arrive back in Slovenia to our apartment. What an experience.  Another funny part...

It's surprising how much water flows through this dry region. The road to the lake. We've seen worse but not that much worse for an important road. As Maude might state: "It could be a painting." Quite incredible the scenes nature depicts. Arizona is an incredible state, harsh but fascinating and attractive.  The 'Drive-in Theatre Screen'. We pass it on the vineyard trail.    Our first hint that we're on track as the beginning part of the lake comes into view. Always intrigued by the roads, paths, trails and animal paths leading across the country. The first hint of where the river flows as we approach via a road. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey
