to slab city.
and salvation mountain.


in the movie Into the Wild, they go to Slab City, CA. Also the home of Salvation Mountain. And I want to go. And I want to meet this man:

These things--the beauty, the memory of our own past--are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself, they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never visited. CSL
