What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now?
"American wanderer and traveler Christopher McCandless was born on February 12, 1968 in Southern California. He spent his first six years in El Segundo, a city in Los Angeles County, before his parents moved the family to Annandale, Virginia.
McCandless himself was noted from a young age as being surprisingly strong willed, with a compulsion to be idealistic and physically powerful. He served as the captain of his high school cross-country running team, serving as a source of inspiration for his teammates and entreating them to think of running as a spiritual exercise in which they were running against all the evils of the world."
