Book description
When you've broken 25 of the USA's most absurd laws, what do you do
next? If you're Rich Smith, you return to the scene of the crime, and then:
Attend the National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa, which includes
such treats as the Hobo bake sale, a giant parade, a pie and ice-cream
social and the 'cheerleader omelette breakfast'
Watch the convicts compete in The Prison Rodeo at Louisiana State
Penitentiary.
Browse for treasures at the World's Longest Yardsale, held each
August along 630 miles of Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky
Expose yourself at the Amtrak Mooning in Orange County, California.
This year sees the 28th annual mooning of Amtrak. After 8pm, night
mooning starts. Mooners are advised to: 'bring a torch with plenty of
batteries...Night mooning is better because it is less crowded, cooler
temperature, and more authentic'.
Compete in the Redneck Games, in Buckeye Park, Georgia, where eager
participants engage in such high-brow events as the mudpit belly flop,
the armpit serenade, and bobbing for pig's feet.
Rich Smith lives in Portreath on the north Cornish coast where he is
currently studying for a degree in journalism. His ambition is to become
a primary school teacher, and continue travelling, as long as US law
enforcement never catches up with him.
