Thanks.....Billy

The only person I've heard of doing it in one season was Coup's 2004 trip, described in the March 2006 issue of The Great Outdoors magazine. I don't know the exact time from start to finish, but he did the JMT in July, the LT in August and the CT in September, one source says "10 weeks" total. He did each trail without any resupply ("unsupported"). I guess you could email Coup to get the exact time and details. PB |

Thanks Peter.......can you message me Coup's e-mail? I was thinking more like start on one coast and do it all as fast as possible using a car to get from trail to trail. The combined FKT's are about 20 days so maybe 35-40 days total for the project would be pretty sweet. Just thinkin"!
