(CNN) — The abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska -- made famous by the book and film "Into the Wild" -- has made its first journey in decades. This time by air.

An Alaska Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook helicopter airlifted the bus, also known as the Fairbanks Bus 142 and the "Magic Bus," on Thursday afternoon, the Alaska National Guard said.

One of the items in my "Deep Thoughts" post in the Stay at Home Humor thread-

  • After you're dead, people won't care how much money was in your bank account, what kind of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But if you do something incredibly stupid, your ruins could become a tourist attraction for generations to come.
