Kicking off 2017 with enthusiasm, gusto, passion and a hike onto the FB Trail that ultimately leads to Lake Shasta.
Think the FB Trail stands for Facebook, Farm Bureau or French Beauties?
Wrong!
FB are the initials of Francis Berg, an assistant field manager at the Bureau of Land Management in Redding, CA, who gets credit for creating the FB Trail.

About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
