Day 25 – 49th State Brewery
The tiny town of Healy, Alaska, is home to a tasty little brewery & restaurant. It is also, the home of the bus from the movie “Into the Wild”. It turns out the event that the book and movie are based on took place about 40 miles south of Healy on the Teklanika River.
After the
movie came out, many people decided they had to go into the wild to see the bus
where the main character, Chris, died. Many of those… can they be called thrill seekers?
Or, maybe just crazy people… either drowned or had to be rescued by local
emergency crews of Healy. Eventually, the Parks department had the bus removed in order
to stop the treacherous pilgrimage.
Cheers!
