He was just out seeing America! God Bless Him.

I think he was just trying to get away from the smoke. Dang, my house smells like a campfire.

I'm just very glad he's safe.

I think he's just mentally ill. He probably thinks it's 1965 and he still lives in PA.

When you want to go home, there is not much that can stop you even at 87 years old. I am just glad he is alright. It must have been a very nice truckdriver to keep him safe for his trip.

News flash. It appears that the old man crossed Kansas and thought it was America. Sorry for the error in the story.

Hey, if you've ever lived in Utah you know that it's a good place to be FROM. God bless the man, I hope he gets to stay in PA.

Duh truck stops are the best places to catch rides. Way to go Gramps! Hope you are happy.
