BREAKING: Occupy Protesters Walk 230 Miles From New York To DC

On November 23, the so-called “Super Committee” in Congress will decide on the future of America’s middle class – and whether it will stand with the 99% or the 1%. So a group of everyday heroes from Occupy Wall Street embarked on an incredible journey.

1. I have the impression they are still on the road, but I can't find any specific information.
Does anyone have any information about their route and dates? I'm asking because I would like to meet them and walk with them for a while, or at least bring some supplies. I think they have been or will be in Delaware, not too far from my PA home. But all my Googling is getting me nowhere. I've seen the hand-drawn map of the route, but that was made before they started out.

5. Thank you, great link. Somehow the Washington Post is not where I would have
expected to find such detailed coverage. Interesting. Sorry I missed them in my neighborhood. Thanks again.

Somebody pointed me there early on, so I saved the link.
