Into The Wild (Bus 142) // Stampede Trail Hike & Packraft!

submitted by BSR

4 years 8 months 1 week ago

This adventure Shane and I trek to the magic bus 142 near Healy Alaska. We decided to do it a little differently than most. Instead we started by driving into the Denali park, which usually isn't open for people to just drive in. The lack of tourists this summer because of covid-19 had made them decide to open the park if you have a pass.

So we started by driving in, then we plan to hike over a small mountain called wright mountain. We plan to packraft down the teklanika to where it intersects the stampede trail and camp there for the night. Then the next morning hike out to the bus.

Because of people like this, hikers (of all skill levels) drawn to a dangerous area by a romanticized story, the bus has been removed to stop people from trying to reach it and needing rescue or recovery.

Actually I think the responsibility falls on the people who left the bus there in the first place, not those who are attracted to it. People won't climb a mountain that's not there. Kids won't play with matches if they can't get their hands on them.

True enough, and probably why the state paid to move it, but it wasn't a problem until the book/movie inspired large numbers to visit.
Edit: That said, people need to take more personal responsibility for their own actions, attractive nuisance or not.
Now that all the kids know the matches are in the dresser drawer, it's time for the parental units to put them away in the locked closet.

Moving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
