Christopher McCandless

When I was young I too wandered. I was trying to find myself if you will. Trying to find my place in this world. I wandered for almost 2 decades until I found what I was looking for (maybe much like Chris). I found Jesus. All the drink & smoke that I used trying to justify myself with this world was a total waste, but in the end, like Chris I found what I was looking for. For the record me and two buddies made a road trip across the United States after high school. We ended up in Sandy, Oregon in the summer of 69. Never once slept in a bed, but lived off $200. for 2 months. Saw the Grand Canyon, and much beauty of nature which I will always love. The sights, the sounds, and what made it real was sharing it with my buddies just like Chris said. In the end Chris wrote "Thank you Lord" which gives me hope that he found Jesus before he died, because, in the end, nothing else matters.
