Lazarow World-Hike-About: 62.13 San Ramon...4th circuit in Las Trampas Regional Park. A steep walk to and along the ridge...two distinctive scenes, human and nature. 62.14 A 3rd approach.

LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

KwaZulu-Natal: South Africa: The top of the Tugela Falls, the world's second highest...someone forgot to turn on the tap. Big surprise! (Beyond the chain ladders and the Sentinel).

'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.

62.13 San Ramon...4th circuit in Las Trampas Regional Park. A steep walk to and along the ridge...two distinctive scenes, human and nature. 62.14 A 3rd approach.

Should anything be able to restore tranquility, some balance, we'd bet on nature.

'Please don't fence us in.'

From the ridge, a great contrast as San Francisco comes into view.

Clearly, we're over the hill.

More of the city but now we view the Golden Gate Bridge. We had an idea where it was but our eyes are weaker than the telephoto.

A different view including the rolling hills.

The City again with partial bridge.

62.14 A 3rd approach.

The tower sits upon the opposite ridge; the view of San Francisco is beyond the tower.

It's always 'go down to get up' and vice-versa.

Our country 'cottage', for the times the cities are too overpowering, between the ridges.

Cheers,
