more stories from Mike and Carter's OFL road trip(if youdon't know what I'm talking about, click here (http://psalm139verse14.blogspot.com/2010/06/ofl-road-trip-begins.html)
This is "Dutch," a self-proclaimed hobo in his camp outside San Angelo, Texas. We spent about an hour with him. He shared his story with us--drugs, motorcycle gangs, the death of his wife, etc. He currently has a job at a car wash, but lives in the back of his pickup. The next few pictures are of his camp. All of his cooking implements are on the table on the left. Check out the campfire with a potato wrapped in foil and cans of beans over an open fire! We used our mower to clear out the back of the lot where he lives and he was so grateful. We prayed for him and left him with a couple of bags of groceries, some new socks, and a Bible stashed down in the bottom of it all. He was super excited about the groceries. He said that the rice, beans, and veggies would make a great pot of "hobo stew" the next night.
This is the bathroom. Check out the lawn chair with a hole in the seat over a bucket and a phone book for TP! The "shower" consists of water in buckets warmed by the sun and old car floormats spread over a pallet to stand on.
This is Dutch's bedroom...an inflatable air mattress in the back of a pickup.
PS...In case you were wondering, Dutch thought it was great that we asked to take his picture. After taking one with Carter, he insisted that we take pictures of the whole camp!
