Week 1: Stretching out them legs and getting through New Jersey (April 15, 2001)

After leaving the shores of Sandy Hook, NJ the Fool continued traversing the Garden State, hitting Jamesville, South Brunswick, and Princeton over several days. By the end of the week, he left New Jersey and marched to New Hope, PA, with very tender feet. He then hobbled along to Doylestown, and ended up in Quakertown, PA by Sunday evening.

During this first week, his meals have included a Dairy Queen Blizzard, an orange, tea, and salami & muenster on a pita, among other things.

The rain (on and off for 4 days of the first week) has been pretty disheartening, forcing him to stay in motels 2 nights to let his very damp and blistered feet heal and dry out.

Sunday night found him sleeping in a small patch of woods between 2 houses, in Quakertown. He is expected to spend all day Monday in the tent, as the forecast called for rain all day. There's also rumor of snow coming in later that week.

He has been shooting a lot of footage of himself cursing his foolishness, as well as lots of interviews with townsfolk and idiots that he meets along the way.
