Synopsis

In 1963, David and Roger Balph decided there was only one way to be guests on Jack Paar's NBC Television Show. They were going to walk across America, and dare Paar to deny them their moment of glory.This is the story of their American Journey: the thousands of miles and hundreds of days spent pursuing their dream.Relive their epic saga as they discover the American spirit, face unbelievable challenges, experience the highs and lows of humanity, and see our nation in a way that most people can't ever imagine.They encountered everything nature could throw at them: heat. rain, snow, drought, rabid animals, and poisonous snakes.They met people from all backgrounds, religions, occupations. and mental attitudes.From celebrities to politicians, from shysters to Good Samaritans, the brothers experienced the best and worst of humanity, up close and personally.From the sweet lady by the side of the road who brought them ice cream delights to the drunken joy riders who thought it was funny to try to run over the guys and their cart; David and Roger experienced several lifetimes' worth of encounters on their Steps in Time.Through feast and famine, through good times and bad, the brothers faced unbelievable obstacles and survived to walk yet another day, and blow their own horns.They saw an America that is long gone and never to be revisited. Walking toward the sun, before the nation became a network of interstates, before every town looked just like the next, before fast food franchises coverered the highways and reduced each region's restaurants to a uniform set of yellow arches and oversized plastic Big Boys, the Balph Brothers took one step at a time and discovered a world of wonder.They experienced joy, sadness, fear, love, hunger, thirst, happiness, and total bliss along the way, with each step bringing them closer to their goal.The lessons they learned changed their lives and those of the people around them. This is their story. The stories are true and the names have NOT been changed to protect the guilty.
