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

Stupid Grenade:

Hey Team,

Sorry to leave everyone hanging after yesterday’s post. I seem to have chosen the intelligent route for the first time in the last six months…scratch that. Let’s start over.

Hey Team,

Sorry to leave everyone hanging after yesterday’s post. I seem to have delayed my bad decision making skills by twenty-four hours. First thing in the morning I’m going to take another swing at #15 and re-attempt hitchhiking. There are a couple bits that should be pointed out.

1. Last time I tried to hitchhike I was kind of in a desperate situation and I wasn’t trying to get very far so this time I have a little more to be nervous about.

2. For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to hitchhike to Nashville. I wish I could explain my train of thought here…but I doubt it would make sense. And for some reason I seem to be pretty set on it.

That means tomorrow odds are I will either get to cross off #15 OR I’ll get my posthumous fame from the local newspaper. Wish me luck.

In other news: Look what’s back!!!!

The camera works!!!

That’s right, Pictures! Being the technical genius that I am, and since I had a day of nothing else planned I was able to fix the broken camera I’ve been carrying around for the last three weeks. (Shhh…don’t tell anyone: all I did was take it completely apart and put it back together again and it worked. Magic.)

Okay, I’m done.

Brett.

Welcome to the wonderful world of kindness to strangers.


Stay awhile.

  1. I’m praying for your success and safety. Hope that’s not a violation of Team rules or protcol.
