About the Book

This is a real life story and it is mine - my travels, adventures, misadventures, mishaps, near death experiences, pain and suffering. My laughs, triumphs, miracles and experiencing God's healing right in front of me. I've eaten out of garbage cans and stayed at a fancy hotel in Seattle for free. I have ridden boxcars, flat cars and grain cars on the railroad. I have hitchhiked all over the country and seen 37 states, most of them by the time I was 20. I toured with the carnival. I traveled from Florida to Washington just to see how long it would take - seven days to hitchhike and a few freight train rides. I still love trains but when I take them now, I have a seat. I am still a gypsy at heart; Nomad used to be my nickname on the street. I have been drunk and I am in recovery. I have taken so many drugs it would make your head spin and it is a wonder I have a brain left. I have been in two motorcycle accidents, five car accidents, two of them major, taken two falls off ladders and had three mental breakdowns. I have had so many vehicles over the years that I could be a used car dealer. I had so many different jobs and businesses you would hardly believe it. It is all here in this book. When I was a teenager, I hung out with hobos, winos and beach bums who told me stories about traveling around. I wanted that life and to travel as much as I could, so when everyone else became a college student or got a job, I became a beach bum and hobo. After a couple of months of living on the streets I got used to it. That life gets in your soul and your very being. That's why I had to write this book - to let others know how it is out there and share my experiences, strengths and hopes, how people treat you when you're a street person, how many nice people are out there. God bless and thank you for buying my book. Enjoy!
About the Author: Allen (Al) Wellenstein has been living and loving the hobo life since he was a teenager in California. After hearing tales from a collection of modern day gypsies about hopping freights, hitchhiking the country and living by your wits, Al started learning the finer points of bumming at the beach and progressed to a full-blown experience of the special camaraderie of the road that only the homeless can know. Unlike many in that lifestyle, Al has had impressive success in his own inventive businesses, leading many to dub him "The Rich Hobo." Of far more importance to him though, are the great blessings bestowed on us by the Lord, which make us richer by far than any Earthly achievements. Join Al, who has found himself returning to Montana repeatedly in recent years, as his quirky vignettes of hardship and triumph reveal what the rootless life in America is all about.
