1330 callout for a missing 81 yo male walkaway from a nursing home in a rural area. We responded with two airscent and two trailing teams. The subject was last seen at the residence around 0700 hours on the back porch. The airscent teams searched the wooded areas while the trailing teams followed a trail from the back of the residence into the woods. They eventually worked around to a local highway. The subject was located about 0.3 miles further down this road. A resident had returned home and was surprised to find the subject in his garage, trying to make a fire. (78.5 hrs)
