The world is full of secrets just waiting to be found. Unfortunately, most people don't really take the time to discover them these days. With bills to pay, careers to build, and children to raise, we rarely travel far from home anymore, and when we do, it's usually more of a commercial endeavor than an adventure of any kind.
Imagine, however, that you are in a different place and time, where the world is rapidly changing around you. Young men are being drafted and sent to foreign lands to participate in an unpopular war. A new breed of free-spirited youth is protesting, challenging convention, and enjoying sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. In this atmosphere, would you still stick to your safe routine? Or would you venture out to find freedom, adventure, and possibility in the unknown?
"Come Down to the River: A Memoir of Adventure" follows Harold Brink as he breaks free from the mold and explores the world during the turbulent 1970s and the decades thereafter. From a military base in Berlin and a hippie town in the Colorado mountains, to romance in Morocco and the perilous Alaskan wilderness, it chronicles Brink's life-changing experiences, which may just encourage you to pursue your own.
