Nick has some neat photos...photos he can cherish for a life time...and pictures of folks he can reflect on...nice story for his kids one day...but they too will ask why..

I watched a youtube video of him with a pastor and he sounds lost...I almost want to believe he is mentally ill...not crazy eyed...but possibly depressed. Maybe alittle Prozac can give him a lift. Did any of his friends try to get him some mental health or did he just jolt off in a stubborn way?

Does anyone know what evil act "mankind" did to him to snap and walk?

damn, you just won't give up huh..

Alot of people go through life aimlessly and not everyone wants to be part of the 'system' so to speak..aka a house, 2.5 kids and a white picket fence

he's also stated he can get a job easily as he is an electrician and im sure he knows plenty of people.

He doesn't have a family and he is a grown ass man. I could see you taking cheap shots at him if he had a family to support and he walked out.

Are you mad that he is actually 'free' ?

Yea- Ive blown my cover...it was me. Crazy ass day to say the very least.

I got a crazy FB message from Nick in June that he felt something big was gonna happen when he reached Calif. He said he didnt know what it was but felt it would be big. I have never met Hobo in person until yesterday but we been talking a ton about stuff Via FB and Email for well over 100 days now. In that message he also asked me to be out there at or around the time he hit Calif.... I originally started following him when RV posted about him then I read the blog and was just taken in by this story for some reason. Now I know why:

Im not gonna get into a big God rant here but I do believe in a creator and after what happened yesterday in finding him and what happened during that process of finding him I can tell you it was not random and not by science or evoloution or any of that crap.

I never told anyone about that crazy message he sent me in June until his mom posted he was MISSING!! To be honest I really freaked out when he posted the same wierd message from that dude in the Black car with the Tatts. Then I was really trippin when he turned up MIA for so long....and being gone 5 days has never happened every with no communications with friends or family before according to HOBO mom and his friends and Daniel Blair too.

So I left my home at 4am in Laguna Beach and was like Eff it im going out there cuz something is not adding up. His mom was pretty upset and so on behalf of the family I took it upon my self (at her request) to call all area hospitals and that whole deal. I heard the cell coverage out there was hit or miss so I hoped that was it but felt strongly I needed to get my ass out there.

I blew up twitter asking some big name Moto guys to tweet it out for locals to help but time was ticking and moms was freakin a bit.

I got to 29 Palms when the sun came up and I felt I was probably too early but wanted to make it all the way out to the last known sighting which was around the Rice Road cut off out off the 62, total BFE. Then if I didnt see him on the way there I would back track which should give him time to start walking from where ever he was camping if I missed him heading East.
I also wanted to check the Cell / internet coverage. By now I had his whole family and a ton of random friends and close friends blowing my phone up every few min.

So I made it to Rice road and nothing. Then I decided to call Matthes wife Pookie (i have no idea why she is called that but I dont know her real name, she said it on the phone but I didnt remember) I wanted to tell her some of the stuff I knew as she seemed to be closley following him alot too and cared about his safety. Neither of us could make sense of being gone for 5 days and not at least pulling a car over and asking them to up date everyone. (after I found him I found out he did do that and some dumb ass didnt relay the message to Hobo Mom- dudes name is probably Obama or something but thats another story.

Anyway I found out why I was supposed to be there at that time and for that reason. 5 min in to heading back west I came around a corner and saw a ONE SUV MAJOR CAR WRECK!!!!. NO other cars involved, just this Creme colored Benz SUV that had lost control and rolled many many times. I freaked. Im shitty at CPR stuff but kind of know enough about bad injuries from all the years in moto. So It was a very young girl and she was in shock. I will post pics but there were more air bags that went off on that accident that she was very lucky - I feel any other normal car and she would be done and I would be more in a life saving situation. She had some blood here and there and as she came down from her shock she started moving a bit more and long story short - Holding her hand and calming her down was really all I did. And pray of course. Another dude was pulled up on the scene that also happend to be a Fireman Paramedic on his off hours and he blew up 29 Palms dispatch for help and did all the critical vital sign checks with her and we called her boyfriend and dad to let them know. She claims something jumped out in front of her but unless there is magical Leaping Scorpions out there the size of a ChupaCabra im not sure about that one....the way she looked more like she fell asleep at the wheel from a very long night. She was pretty exhausted looking in her eyes.

Anyway as all was settling down I forgot why I was out there and then it came back to me so I just in passing to the fireman dude "hey many any chance you see a Hobo dude pushing a Solar powered baby stroller?" His Eyes lit up and he told me "yea!! I see him every day!!! I drive this streach each day and hes like 10 miles that way!!" and he pointed to 29 Palms.

I was trippin so as I was haulin ass towards HOBO I got a good spot on cell and called Hobo Mom and she about freaked out happy. It was a VERY emotional moment. I tried to keep her on the phone as I was driving but I lost her around the next bend.

Then I shit you not it was like Dumb and Dumber movie on a long ass streach of nothing road he was in the middle and I was all Ace Ventura Pet Dick with my head out the window at 80 honking and crap as I pulled up on him. I jumped out and told him who I was and we hugged like grown men fag weirdos on the hwy. I dont know what to say other than when I got him mom on the phone with him it was a real moment.

That my friends was all not coinsidence and what ever you believe I think something else is going on in life.
I will be hosting a huge Pacific Ocean Finish line BBQ in Huntington Beach on Sep 29th and would love all of you to come. Lets blow it up and lets all get involved in something positive and real and make some new friends. In a place that is so damn negative and yes I fall into it too Im no saint, this is a good thing for all of us.

Thanks for listening to my story
There is ALOT more but I want to go bang my wife now she leaves for a week so time is ticking tonight.

Thanks for posting the June 15 blog. Both my wife and I read the blog and came to the same conclusion...depression. What triggered the depression is unknown. His story has opened my eyes to realize how blessed I am to have purpose and meaning in life. I have never met or heard of someone who has "died" the way he did. Very odd. There is no shame in getting help for a chemical in balance. The walk seems aimless to me but a much better alternative to other coping methods of depression.
