Hikers rescued on way back from 'Into the Wild' bus in Alaska

This abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska became the camp of Chris McCandless in 1992. Five Italian hikers were rescued on Alaska's Stampede Trail as they were returning from visiting the abandoned bus made famous by the book and film "Into the Wild."

"Searchers from Tri-Valley Fire Department and AST responded on snow machines and located the group approximately 13 miles in from the Stampede Road trailhead," AST said in a statement.Tri-Valley Fire Chief Brad Randall told thehe believed the group was in the area at least overnight. Temperatures were about 5-10 degrees Saturday morning, Randall told the newspaper.

The nonfiction book chronicles the life of Christopher McCandless, who grew up in an affluent suburb of Washington. But after graduating from Emory University in 1990, he left behind his comfortable life and headed west without telling his friends and family members. As he attempted to make his way back, he arrived at a crossing of the Teklanika River. But because the river was running fast and high from the rain and snowmelt from glaciers, he was unable to make his way across, according to Krakauer.

How did that bus end up in the middle of no where anyway?

Ok, millennials.

They did see how the movie ended rite

Who’s paying for the rescue of these inept tourists? McCandless, with all that education, sadly, died from eating the wrong species of plant seeds while trying to survive out there. Read the book.
