Into The Wild

If you don't know the story of Christopher McCandless.....his body was found inside an abandoned bus in Alaska after surviving 119 days in the remote wilderness near Denali National Park (August,1992).  His story was documented in his personal journal and later translated into a best-selling book, Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer.  In 2007, the book was adapted into a film directed by Sean Penn.

You can still walk 20 miles through mosquito-infested tundra, risk your life crossing the Teklanika River to get a photo next to the “Magic Bus.” Or you can go to the 49th State Brewing Company, visit the "Magic Bus" replica from the movie, then walk 20 yards and try one of their handcrafted beers and a burger or steak in their popular bar & grill.  Guess what we did?  :)
