Lazarow World-Hike-About: April 2025

LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nepal, Begnas: The Annapurna Mountain Range (part).

'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 three, or slightly less, 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 2024, the blog contained over 1,636 hikes (far less than 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.

65.6 Sunlit peaks and other destinations revisited: The miracle of the sun, particularly at the day's extremes, plus autumn.

While we remember each place we've visited and explored, should we not attempt to view the photographs from time-to-time, the images are almost banished to the 'cloud'. That is indeed sad. Hence, infrequently, we rehash some oldies; unfortunately, we don't visit them often enough.

A random selection of sunrises and sunsets plus others. Unfortunately, only a few and without much thought in the selection.

Grindelwald, Switzerland, as the sun catches only a section of the range.
