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

Day in the Life - Traveling to SLC [podcast]:

HA! Made it!

With time to spare even. If the train hadn’t been late in Reno I couldn’t have done it. Way to be quasi-lame Amtrak!

Enjoy my day.

OH! It’s here!

Later.

  1. Oh man! If you hadn’t completed your “resolution” I was going to have my goons in SLC make you some cement loafers. You escaped me this time amtrekker… but I will get you some day. (evil laugh).

    I liked the video. especially the last 2 minutes of nothing. And i watched it like a sucker thinking there would be a surprise at the end. Maybe you will get those cement shoes afterall… Is “swimming” in the great salt lake on your list?

  3. Ooops…teehee. That last two minutes is what happens when you’re frantically rushing to hit a self-imposed deadline.

    Fixed it! Hope you guys liked it.
