LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

North Dome, Yosemite: 'Get away from the edge!' "Yes, Mom."

'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.

60.35: Bulgaria: Yagodina: Part 2: Eagle Eye Climb. Color our world and fill it with mountain slopes, please.

This is the continuation blog of the previous hike, undertaken 3 weeks later, in a most spectacular environment. Should we be incorrect in our judgment of this marvel, kindly let us know. We would appreciate a response (negative only) in case we are losing objective judgment, something been known to occur. 

  It is one of the few occasions in which any photograph could have been selected for display. Instead, 90% of them are stored in the basement pending a clear out. The following day, we hiked elsewhere, not expecting to view anything close to what we had been immersed within on the day. Guess what? We were wrong.

  Perhaps during this period of misery and bleakness creeping over the planet, the autumn coloring might provide some temporary respite. It’s remarkable how beautiful the world is notwithstanding the misery cast upon it by some miserable beings masquerading as humans.

 
A little edgy but wonderful views, this and the following two photographs.
Showing the road through the gorge, too.
Cliffs and color. We often question whether the sights are real. Are we dreaming?
Similar view of the hotel of the earlier blog although later hike.
Someone was out with buckets of paint the night before.
Jen knows that there is no level track on this hike. You either are going up or down and steeply at that.
Seems to be a different type of leaf from most.
Across the way, some height, too.
Not too far from the coffee vending machine. Did we really write that?
Yikes!
Okay! Time to call it a day.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
