LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

South Africa: Devil's Peak: A bird's eye view of a section of Cape Town.

'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.

61.07 Arizona: Sara Park: Pilot Rock, another guiding beacon in this fabulous park, devised by far-sighted individuals.

From the top of Pilot Rock, reached with a level of satisfaction, one looks out onto the lake which is always a fascinating view.
 Water and sand, two elements side-by-side, provide pleasure to the senses.
 Couldn't intimidate Jenni on the day.
 I wouldn't be surprised to ascertain that the lake is a 'classified show-off', from-time-to-time.
 At the close of the outward journey, Jenni approaches Pilot Rock.
 Jen stands below (extreme right and middle), viewed from Pilot Rock, a truly outstanding few minutes of adrenaline flow to reach it, I think.
 On the way up the wall. Ignored use of the rope but for a section of the way down. (It's fascinating how we trust various safety measures like ropes which may not be 'tested' or worn. We experienced some suspect places recently overseas. As Gavin, our son, is wont to remark, "What you gonna do?"
 Surrounded by so many attributes of nature at its best.
An exciting few minutes on the top; a little concerned about the return journey.
 On the way down.
 More lake, more pleasure.
 A view in any direction; it matters not.
 We're not Christians but we respect Christianity. Seeing the symbol in that position was upsetting.
A contrast of the very dry land and supposedly, 'wet' water.
 Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
