"Stranded In Chicken," A Backpack Travel Book by David Rice
Two Years Of Backpacking the Americas, From Antarctica To Prudhoe Bay
Excerpts from the book
I live in the Ozarks of Missouri where I take care of a 100 year old house in the countryside. I tend a garden while caring for the old farm and I take a rent from my house in the city.

I have always loved the hills of
Springfield in late winter and although I live comfortably in the
rural house for most of the year, at times I get restless and feel
the need to travel.
Since this account is a confession
of sorts, to tell you the truth, travel is more obsession with me than need.
You Pisceans and Sagittarians will, I hope, empathize
with one born under the sign of the compass rose. I have been around
the world more than once and would love to do it again, this time
staying completely on the ground.
My tale is one of the traveler.
While I neither boast nor apologize, this is my story and for
convenience rather than contrition, I will call it the confessions of
a traveler.
