LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Nevada: Jen having left the peak of Mount Rose (late Mom's name), she overlooks Lake Tahoe.

'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.

67.09 Tenerife: Mount Teide: "Some enchanted morning, opening the eyes to welcome the light; closing the ears to block the noise; standing tall to raise the soul; and basking in a world of glory...when (even) clouds don't get in the way."

'We've looked at clouds from both sides now'.
We rise over a hill and Mount Teide confronts us from a distance.

Mount Teide and clouds in a perpetual struggle.
Mount Teide warns off the clouds; we see a different side of it.
 We're still moving upwards...what's new?
 We're getting close to 'home', cautious, but keeping an eye on the parking lot below. Proved to be an attractive sight. Loved the contrast with the lush vegetation of most of the island.
 Mount Teide in winter from the north, a couple of years earlier, a 'younger and fresher' looking volcano.
  We welcomed the light, we shut out the noise, we tried to stand tall as we negotiated the rocks, cliffs, slopes and especially, the gusting winds. We returned having lived and experienced a mere iota of the Earth's offerings. Carpe Diem! 

Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
