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.

60.29 & 60.30 Slovakia: Myto Ski Area, Dumbiarom and relationship to Chopok/Dumbier.

Jen returns after illness and tackles an exceptionally steep hike...successfully.

Talk of unidentified low flying objects.

Here comes Jen up the steep slope, the attractive town of Bystra below.

Looking to a higher peak across the way. The 'mown' area is part of the ascent we followed and from there directly up to the building and peak. On our return, we took the route to the left of the structure.

Part of the trail to Chopok, gorgeous but tough.

The following week, one of us stands at the top, on the peak of Chopok. (The only reason the peak looks so well climbed is because most take the cable car to it and walk a mere 100 feet up the trail. (The question is: How did we get there?)
