Why didn’t The Idiot swim around the Mediterranean Sea instead of walking around it? He asks himself that question whenever it warms up each spring.
The pre-summer heat in Redding, California, encouraged The Idiot to begin his hikes at the first hint of daylight. Here’s what he saw during his first early morning walk.
A climb up Castle Crags in Northern California on Friday inspired The Idiot to “plant” a drought-tolerant art-and-rock garden on his hillside backyard. Art and rocks, he figured, usually don’t need water and frequently don’t die.
The Idiot, who has hiked mostly solo for 7-14 miles a day during the year-long pandemic, was thrilled to walk with two different double-vaxed friends on the Pacific Ocean in Central California last week.
The Idiot took Baby Gaga, his 3.5-year-0ld granddaughter, and Baby Gogo, his 11-month-old grandson, on a pandemic break to a kiwi farm with a menagerie of wild and domestic animals in central California.
The Idiot spent the first week of spring in 2017 at the fabled Siwa Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert to consult The Oracle of Amun and get the inside scoop about Alexander the Great’s past and the future of his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
