Starting a rainy June hike on the snow-covered Pacific Crest Trail at a trailhead on Donner Summit near Truckee, California.
The Idiot frequently hikes sections of the Pacific Crest Trail, or PCT as everyone calls it, that meanders from Mexico to Canada. But he doesn’t plan to attempt to walk its entire 4,279 kilometer (2,659 miles) length until he finishes his 20-year trek around the Mediterranean Sea later this year.
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."
