56 pp. "Emily Kimball is an adventurer and motivational speaker who provides entertaining presentations and workshops to challenge people to reassess their risk taking and inspire them to make their dreams happen. This book features nine stories from the author's thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail completed at age 70, hiking trips in the High Sierras at age 76, and an Elderhostel wilderness canoe trip on the Allagash River in Maine at age 78. Known as the Aging Adventurer, Ms. Kimball overcame many obstacles and set-backs to make these exciting adventures happen. Her writings encourage others to move on after failure and to achieve dreams and explore new adventures during retirement that they put on hold in their busy middle years."
