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

Cranberries and Pennsylvanians [podcast]:

Hey Team,

I made it to Charlottesville, Virginia this morning safe and sound after driving straight through the night with Ryan, a Mansfield, PA resident, suffering from only very minor exhaustion. (And by minor I mean I only slid into unconsciousness against my will when I was sitting down or standing still, never when I was walking. Of course that made for a pretty embarrassing stretch at a local Starbucks. Lucky for Charley, I don’t drool.)

I was planning on writing up a rundown of my holiday layover spent under the care of the Pennsylvania ladies (Up, down, over, under…geez, I’m clever.) but I had a little extra time this morning and managed to finish up the cranberry podcast.

So, I’ll just say I had a great time with all of Jena and Theresa’s family members over the last few days and I’m a little disappointed I had to say goodbye again. Easily the toughest aspect of this adventure is constantly saying goodbye to all the awesome people I meet.

Okay…let’s get right to more of Brett being a sissy and making a fool of himself.

Leave comments, digg the page and podcast and…enjoy!

Here’s the youtube link for those precious few folk that can’t stream from the site or download on iTunes.

I’m done.

Brett.

  4. Chicken legs?! How dare you madame! I’ll have you know those are well conditioned runner’s legs…that just happen to have a passing resemblance to chicken legs.

  5. That looks more like a sewage area then a bog… shouldn’t the water be around the cranberries? you’re just in the run-off drainage section. Here is photo of a cranberry bog http://www.motherlindas.com/cranberries.htm

    dude you just went through cranberry field runoff not an actual bog. I call do-over!

  6. Oh ye of little faith. I was wading. I was in a cranberry bog. What more do you want from me?!

    Fun fact: Cranberry bogs are only filled with water for the harvest. During the fall. Like in September.

  7. Bog schmog! I want to know more about your brush with the law, your felony truck riding in. You must get that criminal element from your mom. Just kidding. I got to see your pal Big Joe this weekend,he loves the site. He knew if anybody would appreciate the scent of a cloud it would be you. He said the rock rats are gone and the doc is all his “chicka dow chicka dow dow!”

  8. I liked the close where Mike and I did all the talking…but that’s just me…

  9. Yeah,it was a tough call but that one was 5 minutes long and I just stare at the camera for the first two and a half minutes. There was a lot of funny stuff in both, I almost made an unprecedented move and edited the close just to fit more in but it was already the longest podcast ever.

  10. Wow, Popamtrekker, that was a WHOLE LOT of in-jokes crammed into a very small space.

    This should fill people in on one of them though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IepFH4v2wHk
