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.
O
ur 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.

60.12 Slovakia: Trangoska to Chata General Stefanika and beyond...enveloped in nature's finest.


We don't think 'gorgeous' is an exaggeration. In some circles, it is said that 'in the thick of things' originated on this trail.

Jen reaches her first sighting of a clear path as well as the amazing surroundings.

On the way down after leaving the meadow type mountains in the background. These Low Tatras have their own charm.
Always thought the placement of warning signs: "Watch for falling rocks" was a little late on routes.
A short, level and smooth section allowing one to 'catch one's breath' and take in the grand view.
Below is the path to reach the current position as well as the chata.
A hazy view of our village, Myto pod Dumbierom.
Jen diverts on our return from the main trail to a peak overlooking General Stefanika Chata. A view of the peaks including Chopok, pointed out a couple of blogs before.
Brunch on the rocks.
Returning from a peak.
Some perspective as we look down toward a commencement point of a different hike.
In the thick of things.
Cheers,
