#13 Race Dirtbikes! [*updated with pictures!*]:
Hey Team,
Not that I’m not known for making bad decisions (who doesn’t love double negatives) but I’ve had better ideas than allowing the first time I’ve ever so much as sat down on a dirt bike to be the practice lap for a dirt bike race. Seriously. What was I thinking?
I can only tell you […]

Stylish Dead Folks:
Hey Team,
Between twitter making me lazy and being stuck in a hearse for a week (Who would have ever thought I’d have the opportunity to say that and mean it?) there hasn’t been much new info up here in the last few days. But SO much has happened and so much is in the process […]

Crop Circling:
Hey Team,
Here’s the rest of the crop circle adventure.
On day two Amber and I spent a little over an hour outlining the crop circle design using stakes and 1000 ft of cheap twine I picked up at the local dollar store. After the entire thing was laid out and the string pulled tight it was […]

Pinko Commie Crops:
Hey Team,
Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark during the whole crop circle adventure. I’ve been living life without the internet all week and let me just be the first to say, “A life without the internet is no life at all.”
Now I’m in the backseat of a Subaru with two spaniels named Bo […]

Set Your Calendars!:
Hey Team,
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to call this post “Set Your Calendars” or “The End Is Near!” But in the grand style of ridiculous optimism befitting Amtrekker I’m hoping this will just be a new beginning for the next chapter in the life of Brett and not an “end.” Whether or not the […]

Back on the Train:
Hey Team,
It’s official, for the first time in MONTHS I’m back on a train! Man I missed these things. Lots of legroom, a little outlet right next to my seat for Charley to suck dry, and seats wider than my tiny little backside.
Style.
I wasn’t able to pull together enough cash for another rail pass but […]

American Rail Passes…FOR AMERICANS!:
Hey Team,
In the process of trying to figure out how I’m going to get from California to Michigan in the next few days I made a startling discovery! There was a time not so very long ago (this was true within the last six months) that Amtrak didn’t actually allow residents of the US or […]

#42 Ride an Ostrich! [podcast]:
Hey Team,
If you like watching me do stupid things (and I know you do) then you’re going to like this one…
“Amtrekker travels to Virginia City, NV to take part in the 49th Annual International Camel Races (Specifically the ostrich racing portion of the weekend)!
Watch as a terrified Brett mans up and falls down.”
Loading…
AND, as usual…here’s […]

I Crashed an Ostrich:
Hey Team,
Let me tell you a few things I recently learned about ostriches…but first I should put things in a little bit of context.
July 4th of 2007 I left home on this little Amtrekker adventure of mine thinking, “Remember Swiss Family Robinson? Man, that kid on the ostrich looked like he was having a blast!”
Fast-forward […]

“Moonshinery 2008″ Update:
Hey Team,
Here’s the update on “Moonshinery 2008.” You all know Jeff MacPherson (better known on the webbernets as Dr. Tiki) and I got the ball rolling late last week with an attempt at mash (which, for you non-hillbillies out there is the fermented liquid that gets distilled into moonshine). As far as we know (which […]
