"RIP Mark Nichols aka "Hobo Shoestring"

In the shadows of the train yard,
Where dust swirls and echoes fade,
Lies the memory of a hobo,
Known as Shoestring the YouTube renegade.

With a camera in his hand,
He documented life on the trails,
Sharing stories of adventure,
And the joy of riding the steel rails.

He captured the beauty of the open land,
From the mountains to the deserts, with a steady hand.
His videos were a window into a world unseen,
A glimpse into the life of a wanderer, a man with a dream.

So rest in peace, dear Shoestring, ride on in the sky,
May your videos live on, may your spirit never die.
For the hobo in you will forever remain,
In the hearts of those who loved you, and in the rhythm of the train.
You will always be missed Hobo Shoestring...❤

Sincerely, Lynn Cagle
