I'm going to do it. Run away from the civilized world and live in the land of the birds. I'll hunt bird, clothe myself in feathers, and send the occasional letter to family by pidgin.

No you won't.
I hope you starve without too much trouble to anyone else.

I have never been to the desert, do many people leave the surface realm there as well? I suppose it might be more comfortable in the clouds.

I know about pidgin, but how would you access the Internet from a hot air balloon?

I Highly recommend the Annual balloon fiesta in Albuquerque.
Event is wide open to public and If you go among the 100's getting ready to take off, at take off tyme its just like being inside a bubble gum machine. All around you are Balloons taking off as you duck your haid.
Its psychedelic without taking drugs. Want a free ride on one? All you have to do is ask to join "any" chase crew and you just jump into a pick up truck and follow along and even stop and help out others who have come down unexpectedly. Lots of offers to help and chase and you get fed and lots of Champagne and many many gals to meet and play with later.
This is one huge event and goes on for days.
Now for escape plan as asked for hold on a second for plan of action.

I used to do this at a local balloon race every year when I was young. :')
You still suck ass at forming sentences, but you're getting better.

Forming sentences? Ok here is the plan as carefully researched from a San Diego perspective.
Cost for a private ride of one hour is $900 one or two people. One hour is sufficient tyme for OP to go from Del Mar area to the back country of Vista/Fallbrook .
Now if you rent the movie "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htt40ANLwls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e-eH5nHOfI
Location on map in movie is the North East county of San Diego - Fallbooke/Vista
Balloon will set you down for your getaway.
You want to hook up and meet the Piranha" tribe of cannibal women, who live in the mysterious "Avocado Jungle" careful because they on occasion ritually sacrifice and eat men. Piranha women differ over which condiment (guacamole or clam dip) most appropriately accompanies a meal of sacrificed man.
You can hire Bill Maher as your guide and he said,
"We don't care if these girls want to eat their men. That's the Piranha Man's problem. We just want the avocados."
