Before going to meet the brotherhood, I decided to fire Boone and pick up Veronica to make my life a bit easier, which it certainly did.

However, when I fired Boone, I told him to wait at the lucky 38 for me. After finishing up the introduction to the brotherhood, I went to get Boone back since I'm playing as a sniper character and his perk is just awesome.

Well, he's not there.

He's not in Norvac either.

He's not where I left him.

I've waited/slept about 3-4 weeks in-game hoping he'd show up somewhere, but he's still nowhere to be found.

I even waled from the spot I (think) I fired him all the way back to the lucky 38, and he was nowhere to be found on the route.

What do I have to do to find him?
