The IntotheWild bus became a beacon for those wishing to retrace the steps of Christopher McCandless, who hiked to the bus in 1992. His story became famous with author Jon Krakauer’s 1996 book, followed by director Sean Penn’s movie of the same name
An infamous bus appears headed to a new home at a museum in Fairbanks after being removed from Alaska’s backcountry to deter people from making dangerous, sometimes deadly treks to visit the site where a young man documented his demise in 1992.
The bus became a beacon for those wishing to retrace the steps of Christopher McCandless, who hiked to the bus in 1992. The 24-year-old Virginia man died from starvation when he couldn’t hike back out because of the swollen Teklanika River. He kept a journal of his ordeal, which was discovered when his body was found., followed nine years later by director Sean Penn’s movie of the same name.
The draw of the bus became too much for state officials, who arranged for the Alaska Army National Guard to remove the bus with a helicopter last month as part of a training mission.
