Dirty Midwest Kids Go Dirtbagging: An Introduction

This blog is here for two reasons: to offer an escape for those trapped in the Capitalist chains we call “jobs,” and so my mother knows that I’m still alive without my having to undergo an entire phone conversation.

There will be mainly photos, as they put most of the onus on nature to be beautiful, allowing me to take all the credit while abdicating most criticism. There will also be random poetry, journaling, and sketches, on par with what you might expect from a slightly well read fourteen year old. Feel free to skip those.

Due to the erratic nature of this trip, and the general lack of wifi on the path of a dirtbag, updates will likely occur at approximately week long intervals, with a multitude of content all foisted upon the world.

I will not make the effort to put all the exact locations of trails, camping spots, boondocking plots, etc. on all of my picture posts, but if you would like any information or recommendations in regards to how you to can give up on the American dream and disappear completely, feel free to contact me. All I ask is that you buy me a cheap beer next time I see you.

Up top is a a rad photo that I did not take that exemplifies the spirit of this trip. Below is my new home.
