Infamous bus from "Into The Wild"

In 1993, an adventure writer named Jon Krakauer, wrote an article for Outside magazine about a young man (Christopher McCandless) that was discovered perished in an abandoned 142 Fairbanks City Bus on the Stampede trail in Alaska. The circumstances surrounding this event were so mysterious, it lead to Jon Krakauer spending 3 years thoroughly researching all aspects of the event resulting in his world famous novel 'Into The Wild' in 1996. This was later depicted in the award winning Sean Penn movie of the same name in 2007.
