Denali’s Magic Bus: The Epic Quest and Tragic End of Christopher McCandless

In the early 1990's, a young man's quest for freedom leads him to abandon society, hitchhike across America, and live in the Alaskan wilderness. His journey, inspired by literary ideals, ends tragically in an abandoned bus shrouded in mystery. Join us this week as we explore the incredible life and story of Christopher McCandless, also known as "Alexander Supertramp."

Note: At some point in the episode we mentioned (or meant to mention and mispoke) a book titled "Back to the Wild" costing $64 on Amazon.  We know the book Into the Wild is easliy purchased anywhere books are sold.  Back to the wild contains original photographs, postcards and journal entries from Christopher McCandless during his 2yr journey throughout the Western United States, Mexico, Canada and Alaska.  This is the book we were referencing.
