This is a 1960 UPI News Photo and typed report, showing 2 British Sergeants taking a well earned break in Reno, Nevada, April 16th, on their Transcontinental walk, headed to New York and the British Exhibition. They broke the previous record (79 days) by completing the 3000 miles in 67 days. Photo measures 10" x 8" and is in excellent condition.
Typed report reads:
RENO, Nev., April 16--HIKERS EXERCISE--British sergeants Merwyn Evans, left, and Patrick Moloney, striding through Nevada on their cross-country trek, try their luck at slot machines. They trudged into Reno in the early evening and planned to stay overnight. The pair walked from San Francisco in five days but still have 2,790 miles between them and New York City. Like Dr. Barbara Moore, another Britisher hiking along a day behind, the soldiers hope to break the 79-day record for the transcontinental trek. 1960
