Jon Krakauer

Jon Krakauer Instagram – 32 years ago on this date—April 28, 1992—Jim Gallien saw a hitchhiker standing beside the highway outside of Fairbanks Alaska and picked him up. Three hours later, when Gallien dropped off Chris McCandless just north of Denali National Park, Chris asked Gallien to take a photo of him. Then Chris headed off down the Stampede Trail. Swipe to see the postcard Chris sent to his friend Wayne Westerberg from Fairbanks the day before he walked into the wild. Photo of Chris courtesy of @carinemccandless (anyone who wants to understand Chris should read her book). Photo of postcard by me. | Posted on 28/Apr/2024 12:46:12
