UPDATE: The ‘Into the Wild’ bus will likely find a home at the University of Alaska Fairbank’s Museum of the North. The Department of Natural Resources issued a press release on Thursday.saying it …
However, the bus was proving to be a deadly attraction, as its fame and remote location was a toxic mix that drew adventurous people whose zeal outweighed their ability to navigate the rough outback. That resulted in several rescue missions and at least two deaths.
The bus was removed by an Army National Guard chopper on Thursday. It was abandoned on state land about a half-mile outside the Denali National Park and Preserve,“I know it’s the right thing for public safety in the area, removing the perilous attraction,” Denali Borough Mayor Clay Walker said. “At the same time, it’s always a little bittersweet when a piece of your history gets pulled out.
The bus has proved a lure for adventurers familiar with the book and film. Last year, a woman attempting to visit the so-called “Magic Bus” drowned attempting to cross a river to get to the vehicle. About 15 search-and-rescues are required each year to save unwary hikers from the perils of the outback.
