LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Summit of Table Mountain, Sierra Nevada, California.

'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.

68.30 Andorra: Estany de l'Ila, a tough climb with very little knowledge of the route and destination.

One rough and tough climb with an unclear path.
Early stages as we find our feet...still below us.
Jen seems to have perfected the art of climbing at a right angle for balance.
Having 'conquered' the very steep section, we look to part two.
Jen continues to test her body 'angles'.
The final scene to which we were headed.
Indication of the steepness. We came up on the left side of this cliff.
Jen arrives at Estany de l'Ila, finally. There were a number of false peaks and bowls along the route; the previous picture is a fine illustration of the climb.
A different perspective.
And another. A feeling of being in the meadows but with radical inclines.
Our first indication we are on track.
Some island hopping a little below our destination.
That's the route...step along the shaky rocks.
Jen returning.
That's a route of return. Quite a backdrop.
A nice finish although an inadequate reward for the effort...truth be told, the reward is always in the effort.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
