We have all probably seen this picture before. This is Christopher McCandless himself in the Magic Bus that is famous even today. This is one of the reasons why people hike the Stampede Trail. It has been 21 years since McCandless has passed away, and people still hike this trail to get to the bus that he discovered and lived in. This shows the influence that he has had and still has on people who think the same way he did- the people who think that life in modern society is not good enough, those who think that there has to be something more to life than materialism. That is why I find McCandless so fascinating. It is not necessarily what he did, but WHY he did it. And honestly, every day, I ask myself the very same questions as he did.
