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

Y’all Come Back Now…: Hey Team, Wow…rough travel week. Just when I thought I had recovered from that 43-hour marathon of suck, I end up in a westbound car for a solid 22 straight hours of travel time. As a result y’all (Texas hasn’t worn off yet.) are just going to have to stop being all snooty about this weeks sporadic […]    read more
Out of Texas -N- In to a Burger.: Hey Team, I just have a couple minutes to give you a quick update. I’m about 10 minutes away from jumping into a rideshare found via craigslist.org that’s headed towards my beloved California so my family doesn’t have to drive so far to see me for Christmas. Charley’s battery is just about dead so for the […]    read more

Loading… And the obligatory you tube link is right here. That’s it. No more words! I’m done. Brett. Okay a couple more words…    read more
Escape from Arkadelphia (updated with pictures!): Hey Team, Here’s an adventure story for you. And since it largely happened on the 12th it’s completely expected. (I wont go into why my aversion to the number 12 is literally the ONLY superstition I hold onto. Suffice it to say multiple broken bones are involved.) After the Crater of Diamonds experience I had Jim drop […]    read more
Crater of Mud State Park: Hey Team, I’ve been stuck in the middle of nowhere without a signal for the last several days now, hence no updates. Lucky for you, now I’m stuck in the middle of somewhere.

Bald Knob (for realsies): Hey Team, I’m staying in a little town outside Little Rock, Arkansas called Bald Knob (no…seriously) tonight with a friend of my grandparents, Jim. Jim totally came to my rescue today after a near hellish trek just trying to get to Arkansas. (It was ALMOST as bad as when I was frantically trying to get to Vancouver […]    read more
Quitters Never Prosper: Hey Team, Anyone know of a hitchhiking 101 course I could crash at a local JC or anything? What is it about hitchhiking and colossal failures in the world of Amtrekker? I JUST got picked up 19 miles outside of Nashville by Chase, one of the guys I’ve been staying with for the last few days, […]    read more
Rhinestone Cowboys (featuring the anthropomorphic personification of exploding Bedazzlers): Hey Team, It looks like I’m more than likely headed to Arkansas tomorrow so I can go check out the Crater of Diamonds State Park but until then I have plenty to share about the last two days in Nashville. There are a lot of cities across the country that just seem to be cities. They exist […]    read more
“No, it’s not O.KKK.”: Hey Team, I passed by a memorial today and it made me sad…but for all the wrong reasons. It was an enormous statue of a man on horseback in a Confederate cavalry uniform surrounded by the thirteen flags of the Confederacy. The man was Nathan Bedford Forrest. It was a tough thing to think about. After driving […]    read more
