INTO THE WILD - CHRIS MCCANDLESS's MAGIC BUS REMOVED

NEW YORK TIMES : INTO THE WILD MAGIC BUS REMOVED 

Chris McCandless, who became famous as a result of a book and then film called INTO THE WILD, died in the bus that he had found as a shelter when he ventured into the Alaska Wilderness. His sister wrote a book about the abuse in their family.  His father had two families and some people felt that in his adventures to find his place in the world the situation had influenced him to break ties and flee. I'm sorry I missed it when it was new news, but a year ago the bus was removed because it had become a pilgrimage site for hikers who followed his story and some of them died or were injured as a result of their own trek into the wild.

I featured this story in the July 2015 edition of Mistress Manifesto BlogSpot.
