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.

62:08 California: Winters: Berryessa Lake and Blue Ridge Mountain...as close to 'Hiking/Viewing Heaven' as we ('one of us') can envisage (on that day).

The blue lake viewed from Blue Ridge.
The hills are alive with the sound of...life.
Jen comes over and down the small peak.
Taking a peek at the dam, that is, Monticello Dam.
Jen waves, not in greeting, but to identify her position.
As good a shot of the ridge as we could attain.
We mentioned in an earlier blog about Jen and her pets on this Hike-about. I did not realize how many she has.
One completes the hike fully sated with the beauty but tired from the effort required...a great deal.
There are many rough and tough areas, but the beauty lessens that impact. The tree can be viewed from many locations in the surrounding area. It acts as a marker, inter alia.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey 

For perspective: Annie's Rock, Berryessa...another hike, another day, another remarkable experience. The greater part of the lake is at rear in Napa.
