Connecticut Couple Tries for Triple Crown

The Norwich (CT) Bulletin of 25 March 2007 has Jessica Durkin's article headlined "Canterbury pair to take on 3,000-mile trek up Continental Divide". The pair are Melissa Pysz and Scott Zilaitis.

They thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2003. Then tackled the Pacific Coast Trail three years later. They start on the Continental Divide Trail on 14 April.

"The couple do the trails south-to-north, in 25-mile-per-day increments. They already have organized 30 self-addressed packages filled with provisions, such as snacks, toilet paper and canned food, Pysz's parents will "mail drop" to the couple at 30 locations along the trail."
