A compelling account of one man’s journey across hundreds of
miles of Virginia wilderness and a moving testament to the
optimistic spirit of America, fueled by three journeys undertaken
by Senator Tim Kaine, Walk Ride Paddle provides an unseen glimpse
into a life outside. In 2019, Tim Kaine—Virginia Senator and
former Democratic vice presidential candidate—commemorated both
his sixtieth birthday and his twenty-fifth year in public office by
undertaking a three-part journey across the Virginia landscape as
he hiked, cycled, and canoed across the state. His chronicle of the
journey became an organic reflection of the extraordinary events
occurring across America during that time, including impeachment
trials, a global pandemic, growing racial protests, the January 6th
attack on the Capitol, and more. During weekends and in Senate
recess weeks, Kaine—over a period of several years—hikes the
559 miles of the Appalachian Trail that cross Virginia from Harpers
Ferry to the Tennessee border; bikes 321 miles along the crest of
the Virginia Blue Ridge on the beautiful parkways built during the
Great Depression to create jobs and give everyday people on the
East Coast an accessible place to vacation; and canoes the entire
James River—348 miles from its headwaters in the Allegheny
Mountains to its entrance into the Chesapeake Bay. Along the way,
Kaine reflects on the monumental events that have shaped both his
life and the world around him, sharing his deep love for the
natural world and the importance of preserving it for future
generations in a fascinating memoir that blends adventure,
reflection, and political insight. Written during the journey and
with immediacy and honesty, Kaine pulls back the curtain to reveal
his inner thoughts during such monumental times. Kaine’s
storytelling gift and wise observations offer a fascinating glimpse
into the mind of a seasoned politician and outdoor enthusiast. Walk
Ride Paddle is a captivating and compelling memoir of one man’s
physical journey through the Virginia wilderness—but it is also a
unique and ultimately optimistic perspective on these pivotal
moments in history, offering inspiration, wisdom, and hope.
