Into the Wild Pilgrimages

** FILE ** The abandoned bus where Christopher McCandless starved to death in 1992 is seen in this March 21, 2006 photo on the Stampede Road near Healy, Alaska. McCandless, who hiked into the Alaska wilderness in April 1992 died in there in late August 1992, was apparently poisoned by wild seeds that left him unable to fully metabolize what little food he had. Sean Penn’s movie “Into the Wild” and Jon Krakauer’s book of the same name is causing people from all over the world to retrace McCandless’s steps to the 1940s-era International Harvester bus near Healy, Alaska where his body was found.
