One of my last photos from Winchester Bay, Oregon.
An update: I’m on the road to Utah and will be pretty silent for a few days. Meanwhile, though, I want to alert you to a new source of historical truth, via my previous traveling companion, Logan M. So check this out, see if your mind is as blown as mine.
It’s not just recent history we’ve been deceived about. Yes, many of you know this, but an occasional reminder works for me.
Allan
Wow, I’m still sad there will never be another post from Allan.
I checked out the blog today to see if anybody else had posted any possible updates. Guess not.
I wish whoever is out there and might read this the best of luck trying to figure out HTWRW.
Peace,
J Dos
Hiya J Dos – hope you are doing well.
Hey, I have been checking Al’s site EVERYDAY, for nice news about a cool send off for Allan at least, but the cupboard is bone dry and bare. Shockingly bad and sad.
It’s like Allan’s absence hasn’t even been noticed, and not even a peep from poor Gus….
I wonder where Allan’s house on wheels is too…
One of Allan’s best video’s ever – other than his great Water Time movie > https://youtu.be/3di6odvdNZk?si=5VQ8MO2qM5yAbvtT
Here is a fresh appreciation of Arthur Firtsenberg’s invisible Rainbow, which Allan read and recommended back in 2020 : https://rumble.com/v4mjko0-the-invisible-rainbow-a-book-review.html
If I could be so bold I’d like to recommend Tony Pantelleresco as a person for insight into HTWRW..he’s really kind of brilliant on his thinking processes. I trusted Allan ,one of the few I could say that about, of persons on the internet and I trust Tony. While I don’t want to assume I think Allan would have liked his writings and his take on things.

Just found out about Alan’s passing. I have no words. He was one of the best authors I’ve ever read. His take on the world was always interesting and capable of make you questioning a lot more what we would consider plausible.
Farewell great man, you’ll be missed.
I’m not sure what to say about any of that. My husband and I have camped next to Al and Gus in Winchester Bay for years. We just left them on September 18, 2023. We shared many meals and conversations with Al and Gus. There is so much info on this blog which I find so hard to believe., completely baffled.
Just saw the news on Allen today. Needless to say was very shocked. Have read all the comments on here,along with everyone else have unlimited questions. My wife and I were camped with Allen for part of August and September at Winchester Bay Oregon. We left Allen and Gus September 18 2023. We have camped with Allen and Gus in the summers at Winchester Bay Oregon for months at a time starting in 2016. The stories surrounding Allen’s passing are bizarre to say the least. The time we were with Allen we shared many meals with him he showed no signs of being in any sort of pain and he didn’t mention or show any signs of dietary problems, as he was happy to join in whatever was being served. He walked or rode his bike all over Winchester Bay with Gus in tow. The store was more than a mile away and he walked there regularly. I find it hard to believe that his health was restricting him from doing anything . He showed no signs of dementia as he was his usually witty self no signs of depression, we saw Allen and Gus everyday for a month. I refuse to think he would commit suicide. Today my wife called siskiyou county sheriff’s office. The only information she got was Gus was turned over to animal control. Then she spoke with animal control and was told the sheriff’s office had contacted Allen’s next of kin and had permission to put Gus up for adoption and had been adopted and was no longer there as we had planned to go get her if she was still there. Anyone with any more information we would appreciate it being posted. We had actually talked with Allen about possibly meeting at Alamo lake Arizona this winter.
Thank You.
And what a slap in the face pack of bullshit lies the old “suicide note” is.
Here is Allan’s remembrance by the kind machine -> https://youtu.be/F8gdYOnYY74?si=MtvW8x8z3XSFS3B0
Thanks Brett for sharing that. It sure would be nice if we could somehow find out the true cause of death. I lean towards natural causes as even though we hate to admit it we are not spring chicks anymore and in reality every day could be our last. I can’t rule out foul play as the world we live in has became a dangerous place. I know that Al’s motorhome was a bit unique to say the least, (with all the photos attached) and a little on the rundown side. However he did have some very expensive possessions, photo equipment, e bike, computers that could be very appealing to a nar do well looking for a easy target. The mystery continues as we are still digging for answers, but I cannot buy suicide. He would absolutely not leave Gus without a secure safe loving home in place.
Yes, Allan also had a very highly valued and precious Elephant picture, done by the late Peter Beard (Allan’s good friend).
Wonder where that has gone?…
One of the many “elephant’s in the room” here, is the vaporization of GUS.
Not hide nor hair, or a single peep.
We know why.
Allan was likely murdered that is my feeling. If it was as they say it would be cut and dry and not this messy pit of contradictions. Brett you are the only who has come out strongly on this here and I agree with you. I doubt it was for things already done although retribution might have been part of it. Let’s not forget what these people have done and are doing. They are a network of murderers and liars in the service of liars and murderers.There is too much going on and Allan posed a threat in that he would have exposed much of it with his keen eye and writing and in turn he would have exposed his readers to it….he certainly opened my eyes to what is going on in our world and I have much to thank him for. He was always so cool in his email responses to me. I encourage anyone who can to save as much as possible on this website as a record and It might be nice to see also the contents archived by month ,it used to be that way and was easier to navigate, don’t know why it is no longer that way.
Thank you John.
I really Adored the man (still do of course), and cherished his writing and photography skills with a passion. He was the real deal and the Best.
And his hilarious sense of humour – he was often very funny without even trying, AND of course, his deep knowledge of H.T.W.R.W (how the world really worked). Also, he would often notice things, and point them out to us, no matter how bizarre or weird or controversial.
I really really really wanted to meet Allan, and shake his hand, and buy him breakfast, lunch and dinner, and talk to him all day – and no doubt learn heaps more from him..
Thanks so much for that info, Brad.
Wow!
Even more confirmation that what we’ve been told isn’t true.
It’s very telling that your perception of Allan’s health (both physical and mental), contradicts those who want to believe (or want us to believe), that Allan was in such despair over declining health, that he would suddenly decide to shoot himself, leaving Gus’ fate out of his hands.
We were told that Gus was adopted by a caretaker or something, who was at the RV park. The story was that Allan knew he would take Gus, and that this person had a bunch of acreage, so Gus would be happy there.
Apparently that story was completely made up.
It’s becoming clear that no one connected to Allan is willing or able to relay the truth about what happened to him.
I understand the desire to assume natural causes… but if that were true, why would anyone tarnish his death by labeling in suicide and claiming there was a note?
It makes zero sense.
Anyway, much appreciation to you for coming here and relaying your perception of things.
I wrote a post about Allan that might interest his other followers. It’s about meeting his doppelganger in Chaco Canyon right after the eclipse. https://www.virginiastoner.com/writing/2023/12/8/allan-weisbecker-dies-i-meet-his-doppelganger-in-chaco-canyon
Many Thanks for this Great write up Ginny! :-), – you definitely have another new subscriber here too.
I miss my favorite writer/photographer/real character Allan W. EVERY DAY….
You are so right, – there is no one else like him, and I loved reading his thoughts, and admiring his photography for about 10 years. He made me LOL many times, he was often so entertaining with his findings and delivery – like his ‘conversations with AI’ for just one :-D.
But yes, he was taken from us on the night of September 25th 2023, and after carefully studying all of the evidence presented (and not presented), I have come to the conclusion that both Allan and Gus (his dear dog of course), were both snuffed out (Murdered) together at the same time that night on the 25th.
And yes, Sad that the best “send off” for Allan, has been done by an A.I machine on Youtube (with the fake ‘thumbnail’).
Thanks Ginny, I bookmarked your site.
And I agree Brett, the whole thing wreaks of foul play.
Hi Folks, Logan M here. I wanted to share an excerpt from an email I sent last week. I was explaining in this email a bit about my relationship with Allan and my conclusion that he did commit suicide as has been described. One fact I forgot to mention in the email was that when I found out about Allan’s passing I texted the lady who manages the SD based mail service Allan and I used. We had both befriended her in April of ’21 when Allan joined me in becoming SD residents. She shared with me that the local Sheriff had called her the day after because he found her contact info in Allan’s papers. Here is the excerpt from my email:
“I came across Allan around 2012 via Water Time. I was impressed and became a blog subscriber and then read all of his books over the next year. We began corresponding via email and then finally met in person in May of 2018 when I took semi-retirement, bought a rig and hit the road. We camped and travelled together for several weeks in New Mexico before he headed north and I came home to KY for a visit that July. We met up again that fall in Arizona, and then in the spring of 2019 after he spent the winter on the Texas Coast. We met in Mississippi and checked out the Natchez Trace National Park and he came back to Kentucky with me and stayed about a month before he bought a houseboat and headed to the east coast. We connected again in September of 2020 in Arizona and we camped and travelled together for seven straight months until we parted company in South Dakota in late April of 2021. We lost track of each other for the next two years (I did follow he and Gus via his blog) until we reconnected via email this past summer.
I just share all this to explain a bit about our friendship and how well we came to know each other over the past five years. I had agreed to be his backup for Gus when my 14 year old dog Cuz passed a few months after Allan and I met. There were two fears that Allan often expressed to me around the campfire. He was fearful that his mind was deteriorating (he worried about dementia) and he also was concerned that he might suffer a debilitating stroke and end up like his Dad. He made it clear to me he did not intend to suffer either fate.
In the last series of emails we exchanged between September 22 and 24 he asked me if I would consider working for him to help him finish his book. He specifically stated that he did not feel up mentally for the task of learning the software program he had to finish the layouts and editing. He wanted us to camp together this winter so we could collaborate in person. Allan did not know that my health had plummeted over the past two years and just a few months ago I had to resign from my online consulting gig since I’ve had more and more difficulty with computer work myself (I have struggled with a chronic condition for about 12 years now). Allan was surprised at my state and very understanding. My last email update from him was Sept 24th as he arrived at a truck stop near Mt. Shasta. We were still planning to meet this winter in the low desert of Arizona. He actually mentioned me in his final blog post that same day.
In rereading his final emails to me in the wake of his suicide, it seems clear to me that he felt he could not finish the book on his own. And with his declining mental and physical health and finding a good home for Gus, there just wasn’t anything holding him to this world. I wish I could have said yes to him, but my sense is that if he had finished the book this winter, he still had the same exit plan.”
Hi Logan…and thanks for the information and sharing your perspective.
You mentioned Allan’s fears for his mental state, as well as his potentially being discouraged that you couldn’t help with his book as reasons for his suicide.
Though none of us has *seen* the apparent suicide note, it is reported that the reason Allan gave in the note was intolerable pain from ulcers… nothing else.
Can you confirm that non-treatable ulcers were among his physical issues?
You yourself, in a comment on this blog, initially expressed disbelief in the “suicide” explanation.
Since then, you have clearly thought more about it, and changed your mind…. however, I think it is telling that someone who knew Allan as well as you did, did not believe that Allan killed himself, when you first heard the news.
Can you theorize on why Allan addressed only ulcers in his note, and not the other reasons you brought up?
I know that Allan has had help and offers of help on finishing his book up, from people here at his blog, so it is fairly difficult to reconcile that he had pinned all his hopes upon you…especially when you hadn’t seen each other in years.
Also, if you go back and read his past few articles, as well as his interactions within the comment section, I think you would agree that, despite his dementia fears, Allan was still mentally engaged and interested in the world and was extremely sharp.
Recommending and reading books and writing about them, does not seem like the actions of a man who is planning on offing himself within days.
So, with all due respect, the above things I mentioned, as well as the lack of any proof of Gus’ safety and whereabouts, those of us who question the story we’ve been given about Allan’s death, will probably not be fully convinced by your reasoning.
Some good points here…and to be clear I am not trying to convince anyone…only sharing my current perspective. Yes, I initially doubted the suicide scenario. My original thinking included many of the reasons you listed, along with the email exchange Allan and I had in late August about our plan to meet up in southern AZ this winter. After doing my best due diligence around the circumstances of Allan’s passing and then going back and rereading our most recent email exchanges I began to get a different read on what MAY have happened. And yes, Allan had ulcers and some very severe digestive issues. When we camped together for seven consecutive months we did the majority of our biweekly grocery runs in my truck camper (we would leave his camper parked when we stayed in one camp for a month or more). So on a regular basis I saw what foods Allan bought as we loaded them in my rig. There were times when he would go days without eating due to pain and digestive woes. As we all know from reading his autobiographical works, Allan was pretty rough on his body via his lifestyle through the decades.
Lastly I’ll share a recurring aspect of some of our conversations dating back to the beginnings of the COVID fraud. We both spoke about suicide and the circumstances that might prompt either of us to choose that path. The two main scenarios had to do with either (or both) the state of our health and the state of this insane world.
I agree with you about Allan’s mental capacity…and when we were together I would regularly try to reassure him. But he was convince the decline was real. and ultimately only he would know the reality of his mind and his capacity on a day to day and year to year basis.
Allan was a fighter by nature. When I made my original observation about suicide I did not know that Allan had found a home for Gus. I knew that his number one priority was Gus. If my health permits, I plan to travel next year to the RV park where Allan passed. As several folks have mentioned here, I too want to verify that Gus is well cared for. If that comes to pass, and this blog is still available, I will shoot a video with Gus and post the link here.
Strength and Courage to all,
Logan
I found this interesting.

Added issue: There was no need to stir the oxygen tanks since they were in zero G and the oxygen could not ‘settle’ to the bottom. So even that was a fraud.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3di6odvdNZk
This is a 5 year old you tube video Allan made. Called (Apollo 13 was a NASA/Hollywood Hoax). The above comment is from Allan. It says it was posted one month ago.
It will continue to say 1 month until it turns over to 2 months. I originally found the comment on Oct. 16. At that time it was 3 weeks old. This was very near the time he passed. I’m going to watch the comment and see when it turns over to 2 months. That should give a good indication when it was actually posted. Does not sound like someone getting ready to commit suicide to me.
@bill blaizzee
Good catch!
Even better than you may realize!
Allan’s death is reported to be between September 24th into the 25th.
That would mean his comment would have to have been posted before then, obviously.
So… shouldn’t it be past the “1 month” range by now?
Am I missing something here?
I’m reading your comment again and see that, apparently, it will say “1 month” until 2 months has passed, so forgive my overzealous response.
Nevertheless, I totally agree with you about the implications of Allan posting that so closely to his death… it doesn’t seem like someone who is planning on killing himself would bother with that.
The same thing with his recent post on his blog about the video (and book) Evidence of the Old World.
He was clearly excited and interested about the topic.
If he was in intolerable pain from ulcers, and planning on killing himself later that night (his post was on the 24th and he supposedly died that night or early on the 25th), would he have bothered to post that and the link?
Does that make sense to anyone?
Logan?
It is seeming like… more and more an impossible ask, but is there a video link for us to see Gus enjoying her new home??….
I’m with you, Brett!
If anyone has the means to contact the person who apparently adopted Gus to ask for a video or picture of her, it would be amazing and much appreciated.
Hi there, this is Denise – Allan’s good friend and webmaster. I know a lot of people are confuse/concerned and have questions. Allan’s passing was sudden and has hit a lot of us very hard, I know it has me.
There will be an announcement shared here on his site soon, as I work to gather my own thoughts and emotions of all that has happened. Know that Allan has a lot of people that care about him though, and are looking out for his final wishes.
I did open up comments again here, as previously they turned off automatically after a post was 14 days old. I did however require that one must be logged in to prevent spam. Note that something wonky seems to be going on with the site, if you are unable to log in/reset your account, please just go ahead and create a new one. If you run into trouble, I am reachable at denise at bb dot com.
More to come soon.
Thank you for opening the comments Denise
Voo in da house!!! With a very heavy heart but nonetheless, I’m here.
The house feels empty and yet our beloved rascal’s footsteps are
walking down the corridors and will forever live in our memories.
The Legend Continues!!! 😢🙏❤️👍
Hiya Voo! – Great that you are in the house 🙂
ALL I know for sure at this point, is that Allan departed this earth late at night on Monday the 25th of September, from the McCloud RV Resort, 106 Squaw Valley Rd, McCloud California – Near Mt Shasta.
The next day (Tuesday 26th), his body was taken away by a white, *unmarked* 2012-2013 Dodge Ram Cargo station wagon, at approx. 11:30am.
Allan’s home on wheels was towed away by a large tow truck, about an hour or so later.
I have STILL not seen, even a fragment of a tiny bit, of any “suicide note” – not even a snippet relayed and typed out. ( I want a PHOTOGRAPH of it) .
I know I will never get one, because it (a bonafide & real note) doesn’t exist.
I keep hoping and dreaming, that Allan has decided to do a big disappearing act at the last minute – like a fancy one – including a paper mache head & various stuffing (like he could do Lol!). But No, he wouldn’t do that either.
Bet we will never get a bonafide autopsy report either.
Isn’tt it odd that the very same questions Allan was asking about his friend Peter Beard…we are now asking about HIM???? It boggles the mind. Just a few simple answers and we could let it rest. Otherwise….I think not. 😢❤️
https://bluevineyard.blogspot.com/p/blogs-for-allan-c-weisbecker-man-myth.html
Hi Brett & Voo,
Glad to see the comments back open, though it is sad to realize that there will be no new posts and no more interactions with Allan.
So many unanswered questions re: his death, and so few answers.
We can’t even be sure of the fate of poor Gus.
Looking back over Allan’s recent posts, as well as his comments under the posts, and I see a man who was still mentally engaged and invigorated about HTWRW.
I still don’t buy the “official story” of his death, and the ridiculous “reason” that he supposedly gave in the supposed suicide note.
Nothing adds up, and Voo is right, it mirrors the Peter Beard situation (of which Allan was borderline obsessed) in so many ways.
In fact, it was Allan’s intense scrutiny over the Beard situation that also makes it so difficult to believe that Allan would leave this world voluntarily, without some sort of commentary or signal to those he knew and to his biggest followers at the blog here.
He would *know* that we would drive ourselves crazy wanting to know the truth, and I don’t think he would want that.
But, these are all just guesses and suppositions, ultimately.
We will likely never know the truth, and that is frustrating beyond words.
Go to the links on my blog about Allan. You might be surprised.
And yes, I just feel sad coming here. Chin up, troops! The battle for truth continues!
@bmseattle, do you have a link for Allan’s rig for sale on Craig’s list?
You stated, “Allan’s cousin has put Allan’s RV up for sale on Craig’s list for $20,000. In Oakland, CA now.”
sure. he has it posted on his facebook page.
here’s the craig’s list ad…
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/oakland-2008-chevrolet-four-winds/7673698430.html
Wow, one lame pic and the guy doesn’t even get the title of Allan’s book correct.
I tried to access the listing but was unable to do so. Can you give me any further info that might help. Friend from Montauk.
Saw a recent post on jamboards.com (forum). Apparently Allan’s cousin has the motorhome with a lot of his personal items they want to sell/donate.
Haven’t commented for a long time but always have a look to see what Allan is up to and am really shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden death; very unexpected and not helped by the confusion surrounding the whole thing.
I hope that wherever you are that you are happy and have a few answers now to the conundrum we call this place “Earth” that we found ourselves in.
So long Allan, you’re already missed by so many.
Like many here, I am saddened to hear of Allan’s death. Allan constantly mentioned health issues over the years and Logan has kindly reminded of us this fact, so it’s advisable we not overly speculate as to his cause of death until uncovering more details. Though you can certainly add me to the choir of unbelievers shouting “He would never off himself!”
I’m 42 years old and have been in contact with Allan since I was 20. I read In Search of Captain Zero and combined with my love of that book and surfing, ended up moving to Costa Rica, which began a several-year sojourn around the world. It’s how I ended up connecting with Allan. We had hundreds of correspondences over the years. In many ways, he became one of my chief mentors and challenged me to consistently question the narrative and think deeply, critically, you know follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if it makes you desperately uncomfortable.
I don’t pretend to understand why we’re here (here being whatever Earth is) and what happens when our fleshy meatsacks expire, but I hope for Allan there’s now genuine truth, a loyal canine companion, and an overhead point break perfect for his preferred noseriding style.
Peace
Joseph (J Dos)
For what it’s worth folks, my last email from Allan was on the 24th and he was at a truck stop on Rt 5 near Mt Shasta. We were discussing connecting again in the low desert of AZ this winter. While Allan definitely struggled with often feeling low, I do not believe he committed suicide nor do I think he met with foul play. His health was not great and as he had mentioned here on his blog, both his parent passed at 80 and he believed he would not live longer than that. My guess is he passed naturally. I messaged his cousin on FB today to find out if his dog Gus has a home. You could hear her panting on the video and Allan loved her dearly. One of the reasons he and I hit it off was our shared love of dogs. If I hear anything new, I will post up here. I like to think Allan has finally gotten some of the answers he was so earnestly seeking…
Logan,
Thanks so much for this update. I have no social media accounts, so this is the only site I can turn to for information. And I appreciate your rational response, as of course people are already speculating as to the cause of death. I for one would greatly appreciate any updates you have to offer. Peace
Joseph (J Dos)
I can see your point @Logan (also was he expected to drive thru and stop in McCloud County?) but see the issue @bmseattle brings up.
Does anyone know who Gregory de la Haba is? who posted the FB link 9/27/23 that Barry highlighted.
“The Sheriff of McCloud County California called to inform me that Allan Weisbecker was found dead in the RV Park where he was staying. Full details have yet been released but his death is being ruled a suicide.”
There is no McCloud County, California. I looked it up this morning to be certain. There is a small town of McCloud, California in Siskiyou County, California. And that is near Mt. Shasta which jibes with Logan’s report of where Allan emailed him from. I’m sure it’s a simple mistake from Gregory de la Haba, but thought it was worth pointing out for anybody trying to get answers. I’m going to call the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s office and at least confirm the cause of death.
good catch.
thanks for looking into that and for calling.
i hope they give you some information.
apparantly Gregory de la Haba worked with Allan on his Water Time film.
his wiki page mentions him as producer.
I wonder why/how he was informed of Allan’s death.
Allan’s recommendation of one of Gregory Delahaba’s work:
https://delahaba.com/imprint/
https://wikitia.com/wiki/Gregory_de_la_Haba
Film productions include Water Time: Surf Travel Diary of a Madman, 2014 by Allan Weisbecker.
Todd,
Thanks for these links. Helps clarify that he’s a credible source. Now I’m really left wondering about the nature of the details.
Thanks.
So far Nothing is making any sense AT ALL.
Allan told us he was going from Oregon to Utah.
Mt Shasta is absolutely MILES off course (going the very long way).
On facebook, someone mentioned he was found at South Dakota, REALLY miles away from Utah (especially Mt Shasta).
Gentle enquiries on facebook about these things, are being totally ignored (black balled?).
In fact – the feedback to notices about Allan on FB are so POOR, it defies belief.
Embarrassing, it is so bad. WEIRD is another word for it too.
For a well known top dog author/surfer/traveler/photographer & awesome cool Dude, I am floored at the P.Poor turn out to farewell Allan, or even give him a mention :-O.
Allan, – if you are reading this, it reminds me of the story of your good friend Peter Beard aye?!.
Thanks to everyone posting here.
@Brett
I totally agree. this whole situation makes little sense, and the lack of information is confounding and disconcerting. Of course, no one *owes* us an explanation…but the lack of clarity around Allan’s death so far is troubling.
@Logan
Thank you for reaching out here.
While I would like to cocur with your theory of Allan “passing naturally”, the question remains why the authorities declared it a death by suicide.
That doesn’t seem to be a conclusion that they would come to lightly.
Taking that assessment at face value, Allan *must* have been discovered in a state that could be interpreted as a possible suicide.
Gunshot? Did Allan own a gun?
Hanging? Is that even conceivably possible in an RV where his body was found?
Pills? Did he have prescriptions? Pain relievers?
I hate speculating on this, and for all the reasons that other’s have mentioned here, it’s difficult to imagine Allan taking his own life… but, taking if the ruling is suicide, we must consider that Allan was found in a state that would lead to that inference… unless we want to go down the “police are making shit up to cover up something” path.
+ for the post
There is still no obituary. I’ve told everybody:
Newsday (Long Island newspaper), The Montauk Sun, The East Hampton Star, Dan’s Papers. Surfer magazine, The Surfer’s Journal, Surfer Today, Surfd and Jamboards.
Yeah, zero news about it anywhere.
I suppose you could explain it by Allan being a 75 year old guy, with no permanent home or close family?
I’m assuming that the cousin who has his RV and posted on facebook is his closest living relative. I don’t get the impression that they kept in contact or were particularly close, though.
He may not feel inclined or qualified to write an official obit for Allan.
If there’s any interest from people on this board in discussing similar material to that which has been under discussion here, I extend an invitation to you to visit disasterporn.blogspot.com
Suicide is a much more likely outcome than murder. At age 75, Allan was no threat to any “establishment” or the criminal activities he relentlessly tried to expose in his writings. Nor was this forum a gathering of powerful people capable of being the same.
We all like to think that we would never do such a terrible thing to ourselves, especially when lovable people or creatures, like Gus, are around us. But if you look at Allan’s situation, driving from place to place, living alone in a beat up camper, finding no signs of an awakening population in any of his travels, and being a bit of a curmudgeon himself, it’s not too hard imagining him hitting a point where he just said, “Fuck It” and decided that exploring THE INFINITE was a much better option than continuing to reside in a painful and depressing FINITE.
Who knows if there was a lingering, hidden health issue that he finally had enough of? Who knows what his financial situation really looked like?
As all of you know, Allan Weisbecker was no friend of mine. We’ve had our public tussles, which were unfortunately born out of a frustration of never being able to see eye-to eye, even though we were both apparently on “the same side” of all the important issues. I certainly am not here to gloat over his demise.
Rather, out of sincere respect for the man, I wish to express my condolences here, both to any of his cherished loved ones, and to this forum community, who obviously loved him so. Whatever his true motivations in life were, Allan was certainly a uniquely expressive personality, full of life and sardonic wit, who put his heart and soul into everything he created. He was a true student of the MYSTERIES OF LIFE, and I certainly hope those mysteries are being gloriously unveiled to him, now that he is on the other side.
To those of you who loved him, I pray that you honor his life and memory by continuing to question the status quo, that you rail against the injustices taking place in your own part of the world, and that you find a creative voice that satisfies your desires for happiness on this Earth.
I salute you, Allan! You were a person whose talents were always worthy of time and deep consideration. You were FULLY HUMAN, and I pray that now you know yourself as FULLY DIVINE! May you now experience joys greater than even what surfing brought to you in life!
(And if you’re faking your death as some kind of entertaining stunt or study…not beyond the realm of possibility…then I pray there’s something important you learn by looking at your own mortality!)
Farewell, wherever you are!
@Arthur
No one here has speculated about the details of a potential murder.
You assume that we would all leap to the conclusion that Allan was murdered by “the establishment”?
Allan has had more close calls during his travels with run of the mill locals and/or vagabonds, than government agents.
I would speculate that, if foul play is involved here, it was likely the result of a random, unfortunate encounter than TPTB deciding that Allan finally had to go.
If these FB posts about Allan are even half accurate, he was murdered.
Suicide was never his style and he stated that on a number of occasions.
The dates of the FB posts make the murder date a few days after leaving Oregon to Utah.
RIP my brother. Allan was a real hero of our generation exposing the thruths. May his soul and conciousness soar to the heavens.
I was staying at the RV park that Allan was in on his way to Oregon. I did hear a gunshot on the night of Sep. 25, but Mt. Shasta is a popular hunting area and so I did not think much about it.
The next day the Sheriff was at his very unique RV, and a coroner van came and took a body away. His RV was towed about an hour later. I was able to find his site and blog from a large sign on the front of the rig.
