Christopher McCandless' Abandoned Magic Bus

Christopher McCandless' Abandoned Magic Bus

"Those who have read Jon Krakauer’s book Into the Wild or watched the 2007 Sean Penn’s movie by the same name, should be able to recollect Christopher McCandless. His story is well known. McCandless was a 24-year-old American hiker, who abandoned his safe suburban upbringing, donated $24,000 in savings to charity and ventured into the Alaskan wilderness in April 1992 with little food and equipment, hoping to live simply for a time in solitude."

The "time" was a bit shorter than he had hoped.
