LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

San Ramon: At first, I thought it needed explanation. Not true. Top Left: "You're kidding me. After hiking 4 miles from the base below, you still want to climb up there...and snakes...?" The stance revealed it all. The rest is self-explanatory, too. (Not part of the formal trail either).

'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.

56.32 Arizona: Lake Havasu: Down via the Crack to the Blue 56.33 Returning via a new route over Lizard Peak.

Here she comes...into the bowels of the earth via the crack.
 Little tricky to get back up from that position...something one has to consider before dropping down into it
 The least one should do is skip breakfast.
 Jenni's safe...we'll consider returning from this position later.
 Smooth surface, short but steep wall: Bring a rope.
 Glancing through another crack.
 Eventually, reaching the 'colored' water.
 Narrow path from another angle, some very tricky sections.
 After brunch, leaving the campsite.
 Invariably, steep and slippery.
 Our fourth variation of an approach to the Lizard Peak.
 Looking back toward the campsite.
 On the way from a small peak where we had brunch and now head down and then up toward the Lizard.
 Jen approaches the Lizard, the peak in the distance, keeping eye on the trail.
 Negotiating a steep path as she approaches the saddle.
 Beyond the saddle, she has an eye out for the peak.
 Reaches Lizard Peak.
 Down the treacherous other side of the peak. All in a day's outing of fun.
 Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
