The Idiot took his last hikes on the Sacramento River Trail and celebrated his mother’s 97th birthday in Redding, CA, before flying to the east coast to promote his latest book (The Paris Metro 40th Anniversary Issue: The Book About Paris Yesterday) and return to the MedTrek in Egypt on November 5.

Naturally he took a break from getting in shape for his walk on the Mediterranean Sea to attend 16 different birthday parties and events heralding his mother’s 97th birthday.

Although he’ll be primarily solo on the MedTrek in Egypt, The Idiot didn’t always hike alone during his last week in California.
