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.
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.

62.03 Nevada: A spectacular sight of three peaks from our high point: The Frenchman (Sunrise Mountain), Mount Charleston, and Lava Butte.

  It does not matter how much time we spend in this region or how many hikes we undertake in the area, it seems that each occasion is spectacular. The views from a new hike, that took us through Owl Canyon, and thereafter, to a peak beyond, provides a new view of icons that we have reached before. Rather than express anything further about the undertaking and views, we wonder whether you, too, observe what we witness. The hike will be published at a later stage.

  I have a new restriction imposed upon me. It prohibits the mention of the color and beauty of Lake Mead and the Colorado River more than 4 times in any twenty-four-hour period. Also, in terms of section 83 of the JenniferB Act, I have to restrict publishing photographs of the said sights, too. I believe it may be as long as a couple of weeks. I'm heartbroken for I believe, when a person is tired of Lake Mead and the surrounds, one is tired of life.

Jenni's first occasion on the peak of Lava Butte, some years back.
From distance, the remarkable coloring, texture and sight of Lava Butte with The Frenchman behind.

A view of Mount Charleston, perhaps 50 miles distant.
On the way to the Frenchman, the last of 4 climbs.
Some color as we rise to a good vantage position.
A view from the peak of The Frenchman.
Jen develops tunnel vision and perhaps fear of the unknown. I waited for her while she searched for the light at the end of the tunnel. Someone had to take the picture...right? After Owl Canyon, enroute to a peak (together).
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
