How cool of you to do this.. i admire your adventurous spirit. Maybe when you get to So Cal i can offer a place to stay for the night. I will keep track of you. and touch base later. GOOD LUCK.
Dropped you off at the airport this morning and miss you already. Eat well,take care of your feet and all of your electronic equipment. Hope you learn a lot and have fun. Stay safe. Love, Mom T.
Hey guys! Great luck to the both of ya. Safe travels. I know that in a few months time, my comments will get lost in the hundreds of others stopping by to say hi on your blog. Triplett, don't get scared of white donkeys, they are easily bribed to be nice with slices of bread. Denny, don't let Triplett walk into a Casino and meet his future wife, he tries to do that all the time. Make sure the both of you get into many poker tournaments across the nation to help pay for bar tabs and food. And make sure to let the locals take first place, thats how you get a place to sleep! FYI, I tried to buy a tshirt and sweatshirt and they were no where to be found on the clothing websites. Better make sure those guys in DPort get their website updated if they want business! See you on the road somewhere!
I like the video formatting of having the date, as well as, the back and forth conversation and thoughts! It will also be awesome as the backgrounds of where you're at will shift so much :)
you might consider looking into a "fade to black" type of function with your video editing software, as this will smooth out the video alot and create some nice transitions between frames. Keep it up, and as always...stay safe and good luck!
I hope you read the books "walk across america" and Walk West" if you did they would help you on your trip. They had no cell phone , but I'm sure that you do. Good luck on your journey, I wish I was going with you. FRANK G.
Hey Bud! Well, you've been on your expedition for 24 hours; are you ready for me to pick you guys up? :) I think I may be addicted to watching your videos every day, just to make sure you don't resort to eating any "unknown" plants!

Dear Denny & Brian, Grandma called me today to tell me of your walk across America. I am Denny's cousin in Oklahoma. Me and the boys will be watching your adventure. Take care of those sore feet. Stay safe & God Bless. We will be praying for you.
We are traveling coast-to-coast across the United States, reaching out to the people we encounter along the way and observing how people react and reach out to us. Our adventure began on the Atlantic coast in Maine on May 20, and we hope to reach the Pacific coast by summer's end.
We will live minimally, hiking with our belongings on our backs. We are giving ourselves a $10-per-day spending limit for food. We will not seek out luxuries, trying our best not to pay or ask for accomodations or transportation. That said, we're open to any good fortune that may come our way.
In an adventurous, extreme approach, this is a study of how Americans interact with one another in today's society. We will document the trip through our blog - www.nostrangerland.blogspot.com - with writings, photos, and videos, allowing people to interact and follow along with us on our journey.
WHY WE ARE DOING IT
We want to get to know our country, its people, and ourselves with the hope of inspiring others with our stories. We are tired of the negative news in our world and want to do something uniquely positive to counter it. We hope to create a movement of peace and make America a bit better of a place. We believe kindness is contagious and don't want to live in a society in which people are skeptical of strangers. We want to live in No Stranger Land.
Any way you can! Helping spread the word about our project would be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to contact us any time with specific questions or thoughts at: nostrangerland@gmail.com
Some kind followers have inquired as to how they can donate to the project to ensure we are able to stay afloat and see the journey all the way through. If you are interested in helping out in this way, please click here:
Most importantly, we hope you support us by following our adventure.
Thank you very much for your encouragement!
-Brian Triplett and Denny Clark

Great idea guys, and good luck on your journey :)
I think you guys have great attitudes & I hope you find all you're searching for on your journey...can't wait to follow along!
I'm raising my chai tea to you & hoping you DON'T get sick of each other! :)
Dropped you off at the airport this morning and miss you already. Eat well,take care of your feet and all of your electronic equipment. Hope you learn a lot and have fun. Stay safe. Love, Mom T.
Hey guys! Great luck to the both of ya. Safe travels. I know that in a few months time, my comments will get lost in the hundreds of others stopping by to say hi on your blog. Triplett, don't get scared of white donkeys, they are easily bribed to be nice with slices of bread. Denny, don't let Triplett walk into a Casino and meet his future wife, he tries to do that all the time. Make sure the both of you get into many poker tournaments across the nation to help pay for bar tabs and food. And make sure to let the locals take first place, thats how you get a place to sleep! FYI, I tried to buy a tshirt and sweatshirt and they were no where to be found on the clothing websites. Better make sure those guys in DPort get their website updated if they want business! See you on the road somewhere!
