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

#15 Arkansas Crater of Diamonds [podcast]:

Hey Team,

Yep. Still behind on videos. But here’s your early Christmas present, and furthermore, you have my solemn word that the next video will be there for you by Christmas morning so you can sit down next to your nice warm coal fueled fire and see what I’ve been up to in my never-ending travels.

That being said here’s a little video in which Amtrekker visits the great mud pit that is the Arkansas Crater of Diamonds State Park and spends the day looking for diamonds, talking to strangers and talking to himself…a lot.

Searching ensues.

And here’s that ever present youtube link!

Okay, Team…

I’m done.

Brett.

If you liked the video and want to make up for my lack of diamond finding then feel free to…


Don’t let me stop you.

  1. You’re a big girls blouse for not trying to pawn off the piece of polished glass on an unsuspecting tourist as a diamond, or maybe you’re the unsuspecting tourist who lost his diamond because some old-time swindler convinced you it was just polished glass. Ever think about that eh???

    Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.

    One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result and the knowledge of the value of the result …
