AK-HEALY 2017.9.1#022.3. Guy J. checking out the 1946 International Harvester K-5 bus that Jon Krakauer made famous when he wrote the book "Into the Wild". This is the replica bus used in the movie. It was the real life story of a misguided young lad, Christopher McCandless that perished in the bus where it had been abandoned back the Stampede trail. He ate Wild Sweet Pea roots thinking they were Eskimo Potato. Wild Sweet pea is very poisonous, it will even kill cattle sometimes if they graze on it. The origonal bus was near the end of the Stampede trail until numerous people died trying to make pilgrimages to it, and numerous others had to be rescued before the Nat. Guard removed it from the "Bush" with a Chinook CH-47. The origonal is now kept at the Museum of the North in Fairbanks. This one here is in front of a small bar now near the Miner's Market in Healy Alaska.
