From Salt Lake City, Utah’s Deseret News, who published both the following story and a wonderful slideshow with audio:
OREM — Five days into their journey across the U.S., Buddy Rosenbaum and Bob Chase pulled into town Tuesday night more than four hours behind schedule. That kind of setback could agitate anyone with a point-A-to-point-B mind-set. But for the longtime motorcycle enthusiasts — 72-year-old New Yorker Rosenbaum and 71-year-old Chase of Fremont, Calif. — it’s the journey, not the destination, that counts most.
"It’s the getting there, it’s not the where," Rosenbaum says. "It’s the process, and that’s very enriching."
The duo has covered 1,000 miles of highway since they pulled out of Lincoln Park in San Francisco on Friday. They plan to travel 3,400 miles along the Lincoln Highway — the nation’s oldest, longest transcontinental highway — blogging and updating online viewers as they go. Rosenbaum and Chase have another 2,400 miles to go before they arrive at Times Square in Manhattan on July 14, but, even on Wednesday morning, they aren’t rushing to vacate town.
