Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

Nightmares: Hey Team, Every since I was very young I’ve had a problem with terrible nightmares. Sometimes it’s not so much that they’re gruesome, or even “scary,” it’s often just a matter of how extraordinarily vivid they are. I can’t exactly remember when this became a problem…as far back as I can recall I would lie awake […]    read more
Wholesale Slaughter: Hey Team, I rode the motorcycle up to Northern California yesterday to meet with a couple of friends I haven’t seen in a very long time. It seemed like a simple enough procedure and in many ways it was…it just wasn’t a very comfortable ride. Turns out this is also butterfly mating season here in California and […]    read more
New Occupation: Used Car Salesman?: Hey Team, I’m strongly considering selling my car. It’s been sitting around somewhere in California for over a year now and in the intervening time two very important things have happened. 1) I’ve learned how to travel the entire country without my own mode of transportation and 2) I’ve ostensibly run out of money. Here’s what I’m […]    read more
Where Oh Where Has My Amtrekker Gone…: Hey Team, Still a lot going on over here and there are probably quite a few explanations in order. First things first: My bus pass expired! Never thought I’d have mixed feelings about this one. I’m SUPER excited that I don’t feel obligated to take the bus everywhere anymore and if I get my way (unlikely) […]    read more
Charley’s Malaise: Hey Team, I still have to figure out what to do with my week before I head down south again to finally knock out that pesky moonshine objective with Dr. Tiki. SO, today I’m taking off for Crater Lake National Park and the State of Oregon so that I can finally cross off the geocaching in […]    read more
Welcome to Crazytown. Population: Me: Hey Team, Sometimes it concerns me that when I’m forced to spend a lot of time alone I may not be much more than a hop, skip and a jump from Crazytown. It feels like there’s a thin wall between sane and insane in my life but that wall is really more of a sheet of […]    read more
Hugfest 2008: Hey Team, Today was a surprisingly hectic day considering ninety percent of the time I was sitting still. I rode the motorcycle from San Pedro, CA to Oceanside, CA to meet up with Sonny and Sandy of podcacher.com fame and do a little interview with them (both SUPER nice people) before jumping back on the bike […]    read more
Lake Shasta Shenanigans: Hey Team, I’m officially back in the real world and officially disappointed in all of you. Did no one decode Charley’s answers to the emails?! You’re making my heart sad people. You’re all lucky I like you so much. Fine. To the update: I’m in Los Angeles right now. I came down to meet up with Dr. Tiki […]    read more
Get Well Charley: Hey Team, Just wanted you all to know that Charley and I really appreciate all the support during the little guy’s difficult times. I’m out on a lake off the grid right now on a little mini Team Amtrekker get away so I had Charley pick out a few of his favorite pieces of mail to […]    read more
In Transit: Hey Team, It’s just a quick “in transit” update right now. I had to stay in California for a day longer than I was planning to thanks to some exciting stuff that couldn’t be avoided but it is definitely taking it’s toll in the travel department. I have much less time than I was hoping for […]    read more
