Agree its probably time to scrap this chad magnet.
Slingloading was always the most fun shit. We used to take the chinooks out to the bombing range and drop (cut sling) junked CUCV pickups and try to hit the bomb targets (usually rusted out WWII tanks). I can only remember one direct hit, but it really didn’t matter because it was so fun anyways.
Put it with the original Furthur, Rosa Parks' bus, and the Partridge family bus in some sort of interactive museum with the Disco Bus and the Fatty Eggroll people in the parking lot.
I read the book and saw the movie. Did not hike to the bus. Still alive. I really connected with the life Christopher McCandless was seeking. I felt like I was watching part of my own life and was in tears for some of the movie. I remember when I was younger and just wanted the West and the mountains and forests. I wanted them enough to abandon what the Grateful Dead had been providing me. I relocated far enough away, I believed I no longer needed to live where that band toured. Well I'm glad I didn't lose my life in the mountains. Plenty of close calls. Amazing memories good and bad.
Now the Dead are gone and the mountains are still there.
