HI! I’M ANGELINE

I’m Angeline Duran Piotrowski. I go by the trail name "Dusty House". I'm a mom, writer, hiking guide, documentarian, and adventurer. I put the kids on the school bus then run away from home. I’m happiest with my house strapped to my back in search of hidden history on the trail. Let's hike!

I was making gingerbread cookies for my friend for a Christmas gift but they were turning out really ugly. I thought they looked like meth heads. So I just went with it and created a “Florida Man Criminal Cookies” gift box with “Confiscated meth included”. I also included their mugshots that tell their crimes. They are actual Florida Man crimes. The “meth” was the star shaped cookies. I’m pretty pleased with this one. #floridaman
