Lazarow World-Hike-About

Some thoughts of life are contained in the middle of the blog. While we're sure it will raise contrary arguments, we'd love to receive criticism or comments. Gone fishing one early Sunday morning. The tranquility at Poway Lake is wonderful, the action on the mountain is equally marvelous. Close by, at Iron Mountain, but always a different perspective. The 'dam' wall's reflection was charming. Height, haze and happiness at the peak. Bear with us as we pose a question and follow through with a few more. Let’s say we have a finite number of years to live. By finite, presume the exact number of days is known. For this purpose, stipulate a period of just a year. Thereafter, we shall pass from our world. Knowing this, would we change our lifestyle? We’re going to answer for all and say you probably would. A better question might be what would you do differently? Perhaps you've thought this through and have a list of desires you wish to acco...

As we await the resumption of Hike-about, we continue to flip through images in our minds of fascinating places we have visited and in some cases, endured. Whilst we are hiking twice a week and exercising on the other days, the thought of fresh and exciting challenges awaiting us keeps the mind focused. Set out below are a random selection of photographs that we may not have displayed before, although similar ones would be on the blog. Dawn in Maui, Hawaii. A port town in Iceland. Glacial river viewed from a mountain in Iceland. Sunset above Mono Lake , California. Hawaiian snow? Mauna Loa, on the Big Island. But(t) in Iceland...'traveling' down Mount Sulur. Davis dam, Nevada.

Bottle-brush at Mount Woodson. "Did you say something?" Anza-Borrego Springs, California. Black Mountain, before Lake Mead at dawn, Boulder City, Nevada. A different view of Las Vegas from the mountaintop at sunset. A scene in the Mojave Desert. Black Mountain bighorn sheep. Two scenes from part-way up the Frenchman Mountain, Nevada. Kelso Dunes, California, one late-afternoon. More bottle-brush Ramona Lake, Poway one early morning. "Hey, do I know you?" The target: Turtle Peak, Red Rock Park, Nevada. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey

We're back on a working vacation in San Diego, (whatever that means). Meantime, we look forward to the realization of our plans for the rest of the year. As the world is an enormously large planet from the perspective of 'walkers', it does seem that we are not being efficient, camped down in Rancho Bernardo. We are currently living in a 'senior development' which is proving to be superb. The mature generation is calm, has less ego than the youngsters and is certainly quieter. What a pleasure to be amongst them. As one youngster mentioned to Jenni and me last year, while working out in the gym: "When I get to your age, I hope to be like the two of you." Talk about a back-handed compliment. Our faces are still stinging. Nevertheless, it is most enjoyable living with those in the golden era. We wrote a piece about our opening week which can be read by clicking... 'Living on the road' Should you wish to be put on an automatic blog subscription, tak...
