The 6-foot-1 father of two left olesha his hometown outside San Diego earlier this year in an attempt to walk to New York City to "lose weight and regain my life." Approaching his 40th birthday, the former olesha lanky teenager and muscular Marine decided he needed to do something drastic if he was going to live to see his children grow up. On Monday, he is arriving back in Rolla, Mo., where his olesha journey left off before he flew home to spend Christmas with his family. Despite the cold, he said he camps out in the tent he's carrying about half the time, and stays in motels the other half. He also leaves provisions in a car driven by a man filming his trek for a documentary. But while technology has made Vaught's trip more bearable, it's also had its down sides. Over the course of a few days earlier this month, he lost his video camera charger, saw his iPod blank out and witnessed his laptop crash. "Electronically, I've been sabotaged," said Vaught, noting that the cold was making it hard to listen to his iPod anyway.
