    definitely the road less traveled... and regardless of what happens he will have a unique story to tell - not a bad thing to have in life!

    (i'm also one of the "fools" who contributed)

    p.s. you do hear a lot more when you mouth isn't moving!

    After he finishes his walk, he'll do another Kickstarter to adapt his story to film.

    He had his trial run scheduled for a start on the ninth. Looking forward to some feedback.
    I am local diner fellow myself , find out where the locals eat, follow and enjoy.
    We used to joke we looked for the places where the EAT sign was hand painted and perhaps misspelled.

    It appears that those of us that did contribute are going to have to pay up.
    He reached his goal plus a $25.00 cushion with 27 hours left to go.

    Two rules my best traveled photographer friends made over the many years, 1. Never eat at a place that advertises Home Cooking, and 2. the more calendars from local businesses on the wall, the more likely the food is good.

    Pulling off the road in far Southern Illinois at 4AM after driving through the night in fog I came across a place with a big hand-painted sign, "Coffa Cuppy". It was heaven!

    Remaining silent isn't going to lead to any suspicious altercations what so ever...

    Exactly. In fact it was Willie and Drake Hokanson who told me over an enlightening lunch that there were fourteen calendars there.

    Thanks for the reference.

    Here's a link to his update on the Kickstarter project .... a video in which he describes and "explains" what and why he's doing this ... and in which he begins his vow of silence for the year ... performance art already:
