The McCandless Mecca: A Pilgrimage to the Magic Bus of the Stampede Trail - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

“The Stampede Trail has become a passageway on which hikers and hunters, seekers and sportsmen, Speedoed mountain bikers and North Slope militiamen cross paths. The Magic Bus is becoming a national shrine, a holy pilgrim site, a modern-day Mecca. And I was determined to see it, too.” So writes Ken Ilgunas, who, in the summer of 2011, moved up to Alaska to, like thousands before him, embark on a pilgrimage to explore the storied bus of the Stampede Trail—the very bus in which Chris McCandless of Into the Wild died twenty years before. What was supposed to be little more than a "literary tour" of a book that Ilgunas had “merely enjoyed,” would become a humorous, thought-provoking, and, at times, treacherous journey to the very heart of Alaska.
