IRB Intro Post: Into the Wild

Into the Wild is the story of the last two years of Christopher McCandelless's life.  Starting at his college graduation, the story tells of how he hiked cross country trying to throw away his identity inspired by such idols as Henry David Thoroue. Along his way he stopped in many places and learned many things.  He enjoyed the company of many people and worked as he went, even for a period of time stopping to work at a grain elevator in South Dakota.  Eventually he did make it to Alaska as he sought to do.  From there it ends where he did.  McCandelless was found dead two years after he went off the grid in a bus in Alaska.  That is the story of Into the Wild.
