Wholesale Slaughter: Hey Team, I rode the motorcycle up to Northern California yesterday to meet with a couple of friends I haven’t seen in a very long time. It seemed like a simple enough procedure and in many ways it was…it just wasn’t a very comfortable ride. Turns out this is also butterfly mating season here in California and […]    read more

New Occupation: Used Car Salesman?: Hey Team, I’m strongly considering selling my car. It’s been sitting around somewhere in California for over a year now and in the intervening time two very important things have happened. 1) I’ve learned how to travel the entire country without my own mode of transportation and 2) I’ve ostensibly run out of money. Here’s what I’m […]    read more

Where Oh Where Has My Amtrekker Gone…: Hey Team, Still a lot going on over here and there are probably quite a few explanations in order. First things first: My bus pass expired!

Ore-GONE!: Hey Team, Lots of news…how to make it all interesting…? Oh well, I guess I’ll just use the same approach I use in life. Jump in headfirst and hope for the best.

It feels like there’s a thin wall between sane and insane in my life but that wall is really more of a sheet of […]    read more

Hugfest 2008: Hey Team, Today was a surprisingly hectic day considering ninety percent of the time I was sitting still. I rode the motorcycle from San Pedro, CA to Oceanside, CA to meet up with Sonny and Sandy of podcacher.com fame and do a little interview with them (both SUPER nice people) before jumping back on the bike […]    read more

Lake Shasta Shenanigans: Hey Team, I’m officially back in the real world and officially disappointed in all of you. Did no one decode Charley’s answers to the emails?! You’re making my heart sad people. You’re all lucky I like you so much. Fine. To the update: I’m in Los Angeles right now. I came down to meet up with Dr. Tiki […]    read more

Get Well Charley: Hey Team, Just wanted you all to know that Charley and I really appreciate all the support during the little guy’s difficult times.

#50 Hike to the Bottom of the Grand Canyon! [podcast]: Hey Team, Obviously my self imposed deadlines have been a joke since I bought the Greyhound bus pass.

Handy. “Team Amtrekker travels to the Grand Canyon National Park on […]    read more
