"Two years he walks the earth, no phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarretes, ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause the west is the best and now after two rambling years comes the final and the greatest adventure, the climatic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to great white north. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. Alexander Supertramp May 1992"

Christopher McCandless in Jon Krakauer's book Into The Wild
