Given a countable set of sites S an a transition matrix p(x,y) on that set, we consider a process of particles evolving on S according to the following rule: each particle waits an exponential time and then jumps following a Markov chain governed by p(x,y); the particle keeps jumping until it reaches an empty site where it remains for another exponential time. Unlike most interacting particle systems, this process fails to

have the Feller property. This causes several technical difficulties to study it. We present a method to prove that certain measures are invariant for the process and exploit the Kolmogorov zero or one law to study some of its unusual path properties.
