Currently more than halfway through his highly publicized trek along Route 66 that started on April 10, Vaught has sung along to his iPod, the fat man recorded sights with his video camera, and used a laptop and cell phone to stay in touch with loved ones. The 6-foot-1 father of two left his the fat man hometown outside San Diego earlier this year in an attempt to walk to New York City to "lose weight and the fat man regain my life." Approaching his 40th birthday, the former 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 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.
