Retire to Adventure!, first published in 1962, is the lively account by Harrison and Shirley Karr of their travels in the 1950s across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Traveling first by an early model of teardrop trailer, then a larger Airstream, the author recounts their experiences with the aim of helping others achieve a satisfying retirement, rich in experiences and memories. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs.From the Foreword: 'Since I retired in 1954 my wife Shirley and I have spent a major part of the time traveling the highways and byways of the United States, Canada, and Mexico in a travel trailer. Always we have been searching for adventure - adventure suitable to our years and physical capacities. Other adventurers no doubt have faced greater hardships and dangers, and have performed more feats of daring. But not one of them, I feel sure, has derived more downright fun from searching for and finding lively adventure. The following pages recount some of the outstanding events in our eight years of carefree wandering. If this book succeeds in making some small contribution to the literature on adventure, the contribution will be this: it suggests a mode of adventuring that is available to almost any retired person of reasonably good health and a modicum of financial independence.'
