Why not ride a bike? Cant they go faster than 5?

Why not go by train? ?

So he only drove about an hour a day?

How is this possible? Lawn mower gas tanks can’t hold that much, and these mowers couldn’t possibly get very far per gallon. You’d need to refuel way too often.

There is a movie about him.

240 miles divided by 5 miles per hour= 48 hours. 6 weeks=42 days. I call bullshit on timing

6 weeks??? At that speed it should take him 3 or 4 days

Okay guys here’s the full story. He couldn’t get a license because his vision was bad. So he rode the mower with a trailer that had gas and camping supplies it in. The reason why it took so long is because his mower kept breaking down. Eventually he ran out of money so he sat and waited for his social security check to come so he could keep going. It did take him 6 weeks to get there and his brother recovered and his nephew drove him home. After this Texas Equipment Company gave him a brand new John Deere riding mower worth $5000

48hrs to travel that distance at top speed. How did it take 6 weeks?

Hitchhiking maybe?

Is public transportation really that bad in USA?
