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

Days You’re Going to Need Time Off!:

Hey Team,

It looks like tomorrow I’m going to head back towards New York unless something more interesting presents itself. I don’t have to be at the Colbert Report (just watching) until the 23rd so I’m open to travel just about anywhere to cross something off the list. Taxes are done. I’m almost caught up on the site (relatively speaking). The Roller Coaster podcast will be up tomorrow. So on to the exciting news.

Havasu Falls

I’m making an executive decision. The hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (#50) will happen on the weekend of May 31st. One week after Memorial Day. Anyone that is interested in going just email me. EVERYONE interested is happily invited to take part. I’m leaning towards the Havasu Falls hike but I’m completely open to suggestion.

There’s your news. Run with it. Go ask for time off. Go do some walking practice. Stock up on any equipment you think you’ll need. Wean yourself from technology’s insatiable grasp.

Okay, Less talk, more action. Let’s go, Team.

I’m done.

Brett.

  1. Here is some helpful suggestions for our No-Plans-Make-Good-Plans Amtrekker. The Havasu hike is AMAZING. But you need permits, which are difficult to get, unless…. Wait for it…. You plan ahead. There are also group size limits in some areas. I say if you are making an attempt at planning ahead, maybe you could do some planning. Just an idea.

  4. Yeah, when I was looking stuff up the other night, I was finding out the same stuff Mikey said…sorry to bust your bubble but…you need to plan a little for this. I’d help out more but school is seriously killing me right now, sorry.
