Re: How did you find the book? Where were you?
I forget when I ordered the book online. perhaps 3-5 years ago, or longer. I read about it through Jon Krakauer's website on mountaineering, I believe. Or it was when I wanted to kayak to AK and stumbled upon it from Outside magazine. memory serves me badly, sorry. I didn't know there was a movie u...

Re: How did you find the book? Where were you?
Dear ENEWBS, That is very interesting! I love the parallels life gifts us from time to time. How did the internship turn out? Have you seen the movie yet? I think Sean Penn's interpretation of Chris was very unique. Another case of great movie, even better book. However, I feel that Jon Krakauer und...

This year marks 25...
This summer marks (has marked) the 25th Anniversary of Chris McCandless's journey to Alaska, the Stampede Trail, and Bus 142.
Also, I just stumbled upon Carine McCandless' Ted Talk by way of Youtube.

Re: Was Chris a hero or a fool?
Firstwave50, I'd like to suggest you read the book. The movie was great, but, it's the somewhat Hollywood version of Chris' story. You'll get a better idea of just how well Chris was prepared. This was not his first trip to Alaska. He had a gun. And NO ONE hikes with cables to cross rivers in their ...

So, Happy Birthday Christopher McCandless wherever you may roam. ~Today, during a visit to a bookstore somewhere near the ocean, I happened to look across an isle among the many. For no good reason, there among all the busy...

Chapter 8 "A Return To The Beginning"
This part of the river was a monster. I wanted to retrace my steps but, at the same time I could not think of a spot along the trail that would have steered me the wrong direction. Thoughts were flooding my head as I kept a blank stare upon the thras...

Chapter 7 "The Sky Was Blue With A Violet Hue"
I stood there and I couldn't move until it all sank in completely. The beams of sunlight that had broke through the clouds just a few minutes earlier, were smothered once again by the ever growing clouds above. The rain began to come down ha...
