Aug. 7, 2025 (El Cajon) – Thanks in a large part to the efforts of a local philanthropic nonprofit, The San Diego Highwayman is on the road to better times.
 
Though he is now retired, Tom Weller -- known as “The Highwayman” for his decades of volunteer work helping stranded and displaced motorists along freeways throughout San Diego County – was assisted by the East County Posse in the place where he needs it most – the house he shares with his wife, Patty, and rescued dog Sadie Mae in El Cajon.
