hepcat Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I wish I'd seen this sooner because my wife and I did a cross country trip earlier this year and we would have visited 4 of the states on your list. We're talking about a tour of New England next summer or fall, but if you're down to the last Trotter, I'd hate for anything to happen to him. It has been extraordinary run, Weston, and regardless of whether you decide to keep Trotter going for another year or retire him now, you should be proud of how well this project worked out.

MegaManFan Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Been a long time since I checked up on Globetrotter's progress - was good to visit the website. I had forgotten we actually hosted the cart at one point, but we (Mrs. MMF and I) are on that list. I couldn't find any photos of us with it in the "postcart" section though! Perhaps a return trip to Omaha is in order? I promise to take Globetrotter to the Henry Doorly Zoo or the new ballpark downtown and get a few good pictures if he comes back this way. Sadly I could have actually taken a picture of him in Montreal a week ago if he had been here when we vacationed in Canada. (Yes Montreal, in the winter, we're actually quite nuts.)

Zwackery Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I could do Trotter in Ohio, and depending on when I get it, I do go through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia to get to relatives in Virginia, plus I have a business trip to Florida every year.

Gateway Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 TROTTER: Trips to South Africa and South American continent: Hello Everybody! So it has been a long time, but I am looking to do a major update to the Globetrotter website and am shooting for July 1st or 2nd of this year. I have lots of photos and maps I am preparing for the site. I am streamlining the look of the new maps in an effort to make it appear less cluttered especially on those that have multiple Trotter visits on the same map region. I will be removing the arrow paths and leaving just the host numbers attached to the flags of cities visited. If this turns out well, I will go back to earlier maps and update them this way in an effort to make the entire website consistent( You will notice it is NOT consistent now from the early maps to the current ones on there ). Ah, still much to do.. I recently moved to Missouri and am currently unemployed, so there is NO EXCUSE this time, LOL. Between fixing up this old house and sending out resumes, I have been working on the update at night. Meanwhile, YES, Trotter is still on his journey and is now in Lima, Peru! Before that, Trotter visited Santiago, Chile. Below is a link (in Spanish, though Google Translate is your friend ) to see some photos from Trotter's time in Chile, courtesy of Atariware and Manillismo( thanks to AA member devwebcl ): http://www.atariware.cl/ http://manillismo.bl...r-en-chile.html And in Peru, courtesy of Atariteca: http://atariteca.blo...llego-peru.html Brazil is planned next, however plans are in the works in the future for Bangladesh, Nigeria and a Canadian friend who will be traveling to Cuba. Until I get more details though, Trotter will stay moving around South America for the near future. So as of the last few months, Trotter has travelled from South Africa to: Montevideo, Uruguay Buenos Aires, Argentina Santiago, Chile Lima, Peru (with a trip to Trujillo coming soon!) I have a few of you living in So. America signed on to host, but would welcome more of you from the above nations and also the nations not mentioned yet (Brazil, Paraguay, Ecquador, etc). Trotter should be moving generally northward to Mexico and the USA again after that, So if you want to host there or know a friend who lives in So. America, let me know! @hepcat, Zwackery and MegaManFan: Many thanks to you guys for your support and I apologize for the long delay in response! I ultimately decided to keep Trotter going when the opportunity for So. Africa presented itself, and that led to my desire to secure South America next. So Trotter will (eventually) return to the States and I will keep the 4 of you on the host list for Trotter's return, if you are still interested. @MegaManFan: I have you and the Mrs. still on the online hostlist as waiting for Trotter in the Omaha area, though I know that Trotter has NOT yet visited with you there. Perhaps you have hosted Traveller 7800 or the Combat Cannonball Run in the past? But both of you are still welcome to receive Trotter when the time comes. For now, I am including a photo taken by AA member jum with Trotter in Cape Town, SA featuring the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with Table Mountain in the background.

Rom Hunter Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Gateway, Is this truly the third Trotter cart travelling? The other two were lost forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yautja Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Our friend Trotter visited two important archaeological sites this sunday: the Temples of the Sun and Moon; and Chan Chan, known as the largest pre-Columbian city in South America.

hepcat Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hey Weston, I just saw your recent update. My wife and I wound up not doing the New England trip last year, but we are planning to go for 2 weeks this fall, likely the first 2 weeks in October. If Trotter is available then, and if you're still interested, we'll take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yautja Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 And to finish with his trip to the north of Perú, here you have Trotter in the Temple of Dragon and enjoying a sunny sunday afternoon in Huanchaco: https://picasaweb.google.com/105471120161460026136/AtariGlobetrotterEnLaHuacaDelDragonTrujilloLaLibertadPeru https://picasaweb.google.com/105471120161460026136/AtariGlobetrotterEnHuanchacoTrujilloLaLibertadPeru - Y - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgamer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Looks like Globetrotter has yet to visit Florida. I'm up for a houseguest if he wants to pop in for a visit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hey everybody! For those of you here following the Globetrotter World Tour over the years, I have made a major update to the site and wanted to mention here as well as at DP. I moved to another state recently, so was unemployed and had some time to get caught up on many maps and photos, etc: http://www.musevox.c...otter/index.htm I have also added Trotter's recent http://www.musevox.c.../event/peru.htm archelogical adventure near Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru. Trotter is now enroute to Curitiba, PR, Brazil to meet up with TomBrazil any day now! Later! 07-15-12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hey, Trotter has arrived safely in Curitiba! He is now with Antonio Borba aka TomBrazil and will be touring the Curitiba area in the coming days. Have a look at Antonio's blog. He writes about video games and other interesting topics. He has written an introduction about Trotter's visit and will be doing a follow up report after Trotter has taken in some of the local attractions: http://www.antonioborba.com/ There is also some new photos from Atariteca just posted from Trotter's visit to the region of Junín, Peru. He traveled to Huancayo and nearby to Ticlio( highest train juncture in South America. Note the mountains in the window. ) Last but not least, AA member Liduario has signed on to host Trotter in the Belo Horizonte area of the state of Minas Gerais in the coming weeks.

Master Phruby Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I've emailed the Globetrootter world tour. Hopefully I can take it to Disneyland someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hey fellow travelers! A few days ago, Atariteca posted his interview with me about the Globetrotter World Tour (in Spanish): http://atariteca.blo...y-celebrar.html For a rough translation in English or other language, just click on the Google translate link on top or on the far right side of the page, though the formatting of the article may be offset. I am behind again on the next website update (what else is new? ), but wanted to share this with those still following Trotter's journey. The interview covers questions about how Trotter got started, April Fool's jokes, the involvement with Packrat Video Games and AtariAge, and Travi the Traveler 7800. Trotter is now in Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil with AA member Liduario and rough plans are in the works now for Trotter to attend a gathering of Brazilian classic gamers in December. More details as they develop! AA member Sr. Ferraz sent me a photo of some of the attendees from the last get together (July 2012) held in Rio de Janeiro. Unfortunately, Trotter missed this event, but hopes to make it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrettimus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey! Trotter has arrived safe and sound in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's with me now. I'll take it to a city tour ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey! Trotter has arrived safe and sound in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's with me now. I'll take it to a city tour ASAP! The Trotter you're holding is in a clear case not in the black? After hosting Trotter a while, I sent him back to Lima, Peru and it was the black one, which Tom Brasil is holding... I wonder what happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 How did the case change from black to clear anyways? I don't think it was the real Trotter that LidLikesIntellvision was holding.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Probably living in LidLikesIntellvision collection. I hate it when people break the chain. I sent it to another country after hosting the cartridge for around 2 weeks. I didn't brake the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hosting Trotter a while, I sent him back to Lima, Peru and it was the black one, which Tom Brasil is holding... I wonder what happened... Good thing I posted this so I can remember I sent Globetrotter to Peru. EDIT - Checking my pms, Gateway said the next person to host the cart was an AA member atariteca. I searched for atariteca but I couldn't find him... Maybe he was banned... I will contact Gateway. EDIT2 - I found my e-mails from 2012 when Gateway confirmed to me he checked the Brazilian Post Office website that the cartridge was deliveried in Peru 10-27-2012.

Jinks Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 How could someone lose this cart? Was there not a thread that tracked every move? Trotter will get you back! He is a mean blue SOB. Makes evil otto look like a chump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
