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

La Dreamer and Stone Face: A Love Story: Hey Team, In another story, in another world, she would have swept gracefully into the scene. But that would be literature. Fiction. This is a true story. That being said it wouldn’t be fair to say she lumbered either. It was something in between. Let’s try this: La Dreamer trotted up the bus steps and down the aisle […]    read more
Charley Update: Hey Team, I spent the better part of yesterday on the phone with AppleCare trying to figure out what’s wrong with Charley but according to the Second Law of Broken Mechanics (You’ve all seen this law in action when you take your car in and it wont make THAT noise around the mechanic.) he managed to hold […]    read more
#3 Sleep in a Lighthouse!: Hey Team, Charley is having some charging issues this week and it’s making life very difficult when it comes to updating the site so I hope you guys don’t mind the delays in new content. (Because I freaking HATE it!) I’m taking him to the hospital (a.k.a. Apple Store) this afternoon but before I do that […]    read more
Frank’s Fort: Hey Team, I made it to Frankfort, MI, no joke, named after a guy named Frank that used to own a Fort here on the bay. Apparently everyone used to say, “Hey let’s go meet at Frank’s Fort.” (I was assured I wasn’t being screwed with on this point.) Regardless, I’ve made it to the next destination, […]    read more
Geocaching Attack!: Hey Team, It’s been a pretty exhausting week. I can’t imagine a worse way to clean up all these geocaches that I’ve missed in my multiple trips across the country than via a series of long bus rides where no one wants to talk unless they’re already talking to themselves followed but stints of wandering through […]    read more
The Day the Universe Decided to Punish Me: Hey Team, Today started out pretty typical. I had a clear-cut goal I wanted to accomplish. I had the means and the wherewithal to make it happen. And I was well rested. Then the universe decided that today was the day I got my comeuppance. Someone, somewhere, decided now was the time to punish me for some […]    read more
#25 Be in a Movie!: Enjoyed that? Donations please? Don’t let me stop you.    read more
#29 Drive a race car! [podcast]: Hey Team, Sorry the updates have been so few and far between this week. With all the bus rides and the 14 hour days on set for “The Surrogates” (more on that tomorrow) it’s been impossible to find the time to get things posted. BUT, without any further ado… “Amtrekker travels to the small town of Huron, […]    read more
Assault on Miners: Hey Team, Not everything on the list is adrenaline fueled (obviously). But a great case in point is #11 “Go into a coal mine.” I may have mentioned this before but a good portion of the list exists because I occasionally get that feeling that I was born in either the wrong time or the wrong […]    read more
The Wonderful World of Greyhound: Hey Team, I stepped up into the doorway resigned to the upcoming fifty-three hour marathon only to be slapped in the face by a wall of stale air. A quick look around shows only one empty seat; not leaving me the usual option of scouring the bus for the least stained place to plant myself. It’s […]    read more
