The trip simulated on Google Earth is in dedication to the journey Chris McCandless took starting sometime in 1990. The Google Earth trip hit some of the major locations along Chris’s journey. With each place, there was a picture and somewhat detailed explanation of why that place was included in the simulation. The replication on Google Earth did not include every spot mentioned in Chris’s voyage but it came close. I learned by looking at this replication just how far McCandless traveled. While reading Into the Wild I realized the different locations Chris was going but seeing an actual picture of where he went is breathtaking. And to think that most of the time Chris was walking to the places he wanted to go unless he hitched a ride with a friendly passerby. Seeing this reproduction really opened my eyes to a new way of viewing Chris McCandless’s trip.
