Ultimate Adventure Day 5 began early with the group firing cold engines and wheeling back to blacktop before heading out across the historic Denali Highway, after which the camping gear and unnecessary equipment was dumped at camp to lighten the load for a serious day on the Stampede trail. Most familiar with the “Into the Wild” book and movie know this as the route Christopher McCandless walked on his ill-fated journey to the school bus in which he died. While it was too dangerous for Ultimate Adventure to make it all the way to the bus, we did find the Teklanika River as well as some of the most intense mud wheeling in Alaska. #UltimateAdventure #UA2019 #Offroading
