It was in 2004 that semi-retired newspaper reporter Joe Hurley walked all 3,652 miles (coast-to-coast) along the Grand Old Highway. He is currently completing a book about his adventure and is now writing stories for American Road Magazine.

He welcomes the opportunity to talk to local groups and organizations about his trip.

Joe now has a new challenge as the Executive Director of the Connecticut U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.  He would like to hear from those individuals and communities that are interested in the economic development and preservation of our American Heritage along the historic highway.
