Book Talk on “Ten Million Steps on Route 6”

In 1999, Joe Hurley, a retired newspaper reporter from Connecticut came to the startling realization that he knew almost nothing about the other side of the state, even though Connecticut is small enough to fit in the back pocket of Colorado or Nebraska. That year, Joe walked across Connecticut on Route 6 to give News-Times readers, and themselves, a better picture of their home state. Later, Joe noticed that Route 6 stretched all the way to California – it was one of the nation’s few coast-to-coast highways and remains the longest continuous highway in the country. After retiring, Joe walked that 3,600-mile road while photographer Travis Lindhorst traveled along in the comfort of a car. Joe gives an inside look at the walk and the book in a program called “Behind the Scenes of Ten Million Steps.”
