Hobo Convention

Postby flatcar » August 18th, 2011, 6:59 am

This year's National Hobo Convention went off without a hitch. Our new King is Uncle Freddy and our Queen is Minneapolis Jewel. Only one minor incident (with non-hobos) in the jungkle was taken care of by the police very expertly. Watching Tuck bowl was fun and the geese were the hit of the parade.

Hobo Convention

Hey, Flatcar: Did you see any hitchhikers on the road when you drove out to Britt, Iowa?

One time I was hitchhiking in Montana and I was picked up by a couple of guys from New Jersey. They were going to Spokane, Washington. They said that I was the first hitchhiker they saw on their trip.

Was on my way to Britt. Got jackrolled in Alliance NE of all places. Some tramp/homebum stole my gear. Have had to work to buy new gear. Missed the convention. On my way to hang out with Stretch. Currently in Omaha.

Hope to meet you next year Flatcar.
