I know some guy did them all in under 10 days but he had lots of support. I'm talking 2 guys, a van, no support, 90 days, can this be done and what would it look like? Thoughts?

Well, you'll need to get more ambitious. Andrew Hamilton did them all, solo and self powered, while riding a bike between the peaks in under 20 days. Actually, 2 guys and a van should be able to bang out every 14er in the lower 48 with plenty of time left over. There are about 67 so it's not even a peak a day and I'm sure it's been done.

Iclude Alaska and you have a real challenge. Throw in Hawaii and you have a vacation.

Andrew Hamilton had an entire team helping him, I repeat 2 guys a lone no help of any kind. And he didn't do it on a bike.

Yes, if that's what you want to do.

Justin Simoni (Long Ranger) biked between all the 14ers a few summers ago alone and completely unsupported in 30-some days.

2 guys in a van in 90 days wouldn't impress anybody really hardcore, but would be still be a challenge for normal folks and would probably be a good time.
