At the end of the mostly tongue-in-cheek piece, some humorous and unlikely hobo monikers were listed. Well, Stun Gun Jones stuck for us. We figure there's a traveling vagabond in every drunken pilgrim's heart--we thought we'd hitch a ride. If you're in Monterey, come check us out. We hope to see you out on the road!
