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

I was wandering the streets of Lancaster, PA this morning looking for an Amish man with a cow I […]    read more

Tonight you kids are the […]    read more
The Update: Hey Team, The site is finally running a little behind and the departure date is practically here.
