Ep. 74: From Vietnam to the Appalachian Trail with Tim "Naneek" KeenanDescription
Tim “Naneek” Keenan is an American author, 2009 Appalachian Trail thru-hiking alum, and Vietnam veteran. Tim couldn’t shake his dread of the woods in the decades following his time as a grunt in the Vietnam jungles—that is until he confronted his fears head on and began a thru-hike of the 2,178.3-mile Appalachian Trail. The Good Hike: A Story of the Appalachian Trail, Vietnam, PTSD and Love, is Keenan’s story of finally coming to peace with himself, buoyed by the healing powers of nature and his fellow hikers. In this conversation we discuss Tim’s time in Vietnam, his experiences on the Appalachian Trail, and the power of writing and love.
