Chris “Cookie Monster” Pirrello  shares his New England Trail thru-hike with listeners and gives information on planning, logistics, responsible stealth camping, resupply and what any hiker needs to know about this trail.

Chris and Lori also talk about  how his love of trail and love of great coffee intersected with the purchase of the Triple Crown Coffee company founded by Lisa Seeley.

Chris is a thru-hiker who has completed eight long-distance trails including the three trails that make up the Triple Crown. He purchased Triple Crown Coffee in 2020 as a way to combine his two loves, coffee and thru-hiking. 

The New England National Scenic Trail (NET) is a 215-mile hiking trail route that has been in existence for over half a century. The NET travels through 41 communities in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and is comprised primarily of the historic Mattabesett, Metacomet, and Monadnock (M-M-M) Trail systems.
