There are few outings more soothing in Northern California than mid-autumn hikes between the summer heat and the winter chill. Here are just a few sights and sites that enchanted The Idiot during some illuminating walks in mid-November.
The main thing The Idiot noticed when he MedTrekked through different countries on the Mediterranean Sea was the state of the seaside and beaches. A stroll from Syria to Gaza along the waterfront in Lebanon and Israel five years ago this month illustrated one notable coastal contrast that differentiates the two countries.
How does The Idiot adapt to the advent of fickle autumnal climate change on the Pacific Ocean in Northern California?
The Idiot’s mother, who celebrated her 101st birthday last weekend, had a number of odd requests for some slightly belated birthday presents. The Idiot, her eldest son, dutifully fulfilled her wishes when he journeyed across the Trinity Alps to the family home near Trinidad, California, on the Pacific Ocean.
The Idiot’s mother, who will be 101-years-old on Saturday (Oct. 24), is usually entertained with a big family birthday bash featuring a band, dancing, drinking, speeches and relatives coming to Northern California from throughout the world.
How much has The Idiot aged during the twenty-two years since he launched his walk around the Mediterranean Sea? Is it possible that completing a 12,667-kilometer (7,872-mile) MedTrek from 1998 to 2018 made him look younger than some of his peers in 2020? Or is he simply in denial?
