Illinois Couple Help Lost 80-Year-Old Man Back to Arizona
Understandably, they were concerned about Dennis driving back on his own. They didn’t want him ending up as the lost 80-year-old man again; so they offered to make the trip with him. The couple then met back up with Dennis and decided to drive him back to Heber-Overgaard, Arizona – a 1,660 mile trip.
“We started this and we feel like we need to see it through.” Elton explained. “So that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to make sure Dennis makes it to Arizona in one piece and then we’re not sure how we’re going to get back but we’ll figure it out after we get there.”
In true fasion, Tracy recorded a series of videos chronicling their trip with Dennis from Madison, Wisconsin to Arizona.
