A D.C. man is taking his 92-year old grandma Joy on the road trip of a lifetime. The two have set out to visit every national park in the United States.
Brad Ryan has made it his mission to take 92-year old Joy Ryan, also known as Grandma Joy, to all 63 U.S. National Parks.Now they are just one park away from reaching their goal."We’ve driven almost 50,000 miles. We’ve flown to Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands," Brad said. "We never really believed that it would be possible to get this far because everything is so you know, everything is so spread out," he said.
That’s when the duo took off on their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, not expecting it to be anything more. "I said I wasn’t going to come back, so I was going to do it. I go, 'I’ll do it, so I did," Grandma Joy said. Most recently, she set a new record as the oldest person to zip line and rappel through the newest national park at New River Gorge, proving along the way that age is nothing but a number.
