LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

New Zealand: Mount Taranaki, a tough endeavor.

'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.
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.

65.7 Sand Dunes Galore and an occasional flow of water to keep cool as we recall the recent past.

  That we don't forget our experiences (blessings) out in the wilderness, we continue to remember some moments from photographs selected at random. 

  Smooth at Big Dunes, Nevada.
Looks like a pip-squeak down below.
Not quite dunes but still in the valley alongside them...Death Valley, California.
Jen appears to be over the hill.
We awoke to this early morning scene...much sun and freezing air...in White Sands, New Mexico.
The previous evening, Jen went for a run on the dunes with her 'dude', before settling in her tent.
A time for aqua as we switch to Colorado.
Death Valley in winter.
Stretching it out in Utah, close to sunset. 
Jen gets out of the sun and develops color-blindness within Antelope Canyon from the lake approach. (Boat only)
Each morning, a ranger creates the ridges which assist Jenni and Jeffrey to grip the sand firmly.
Softly, softly on soft sand.
Tough girl, tough climb in Yuma, Az.
Perhaps not so tough after all although the coloring is almost acceptable.
More dunes in another state, Utah.
Kingman Wash, border of Arizona/Nevada.
A smooth view from a highpoint.
Shining sands (Death Valley) as opposed to Sliding Sands (Hawaii).
Crater Lake, Oregon, some much admired 'water'.
Jen climbing in Death Valley.
Running downhill is the easy route.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
