LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, early (very) morning.

'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 2025, the blog contained over 1,800 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.

A Visit to Slovenia, a treasure trove of hiking delights and activities in a small country.

  The mountains present tough and difficult challenges just as they should. Who would want the test to be anything but true. Besides, what else to do these 'bored giants' have to fill their lives?  

  We believe we have 'fooled' you for a second or less; actually, that's not true. Lately, I have been trying a overcome a burden suffered recently. "Hang" in there and hopefully, the times might change for the better. Then again, we can always continue climbing mountains. We are growing very fond of this activity, actually, wild about it. 

From on high, the sights are magnificent. (Standing on Visenek Peak.)
Jen goes 'batty' in a cave for a short while only...hopefully.
"Where to now, Big Boy? Below Mt. Vogel Peak."
We're almost there, we're almost there, how wonderful, how marvelous to share. (Mt. Vogel).
A beautiful place to reach.
Adventure land with a difference, actually, many.
We appreciate the view; looking at the commencement point after a partial climb. The climb continues for a further 2,800 feet in height over the Soca River.
It was a proud moment. We appreciate the view of Svinjak Peak from the commencement point. To us, at the outset, it seemed an impossible challenge.
From the peak, we view a sizable section of the terrain, plus the 'life-raft'.
A great place to make a choice of the return journey, after a 'tie' between the 'contestants' on Mala Mostrovoka.
As he struggles to remain on his feet, in a manner of speaking.
Delightful scenes at height climbing Mount Vogel. Jen sits below as she contemplates her next move.
Jen reaches Mount Kanin after sustaining earlier injury...tough girl...again.
The highest mountain range in the country with the morning mist co-operating. (Mount Triglav).
The Wild-Outdoors, incredible times, blessed by Nature when it's 'relaxed'. Jen continues to where she hopes for a satifactory arrival.
A different view, outstanding scenes, while in awe. (Another approach to Mount Triglav).
Perhaps there is a more direct route than the one you are laboring...just a suggestion.
More height, further distance, greater reward...the ultimate benefit.
A mountain scene to remember, no, to cherish. Returning from Vrsic Pass to Kransa Gora.
Take Care and Cheers,
