Hello and thanks for visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greetings. I’m Kurt Buss, and I’ve been writing, off and on, for various publications and purposes since attending UW-Milwaukee back in the early 80s. Long ago. Before computers. I was one of the founding editors of The Crazy Shepherd<\/em> “ragazine” which came out in May 1982, and is still publishing as the Shepherd Express<\/em> in Milwaukee, one of the country’s remaining weekly alternative newspapers. Many of the early articles can be found under The Crazy Shepherd Years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, I chronicled my experiences living out of a vintage camper in northern Colorado and New Mexico for over a year, which was a very unique and often enchanting adventure. I called it the Rocky Mountain Rubber Tramp<\/strong>. I hope you have time to scroll through and find something that lights a similar spark for wanderlust. It’s a tonic for the times, to be able to escape the rat race and find some solace in the wild places. And it’s never too late. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks again for visiting, and I’d love to hear from you in the comments if you feel so inclined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
