[TChad]

Reminds me of Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild"

After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature.

My grandad lived in Annandale- I had friends that went there- remember the Steely Dan song “My Old School”? Hung out there many a weekend.

I went to Fort Hunt down in Alexandria.

they made a self-rightous movie based on that book and some people reportedly make pilgrimages to visit his death site.
