Summary Of Into The Wild Chapter 4
Chapter 1-
Bill Bryson and his fam have just moved to "a small town in New Hampshire"
Wanted to walked the entire Appalachian trail, longest hiking path, Bryson was a nature person, he wanted to feel like a mountain man.
Many people didn’t have faith that Bryson could complete the path, instead of incuringing him they tell him all the horrible things that happen along the trail.
Bryson is disappointed that his friend Katz has gone back to drinking.
While hiking Katz ends up missing, they were goin hrough a difficult part of the path and Katz disappeared. It was an entire day before seeing Katz again, and he explained his experience in the woods alone.

Chapter 5

They decided to leave behind Mary Ellen, they would hike 14 miles to Dicks Creek Gap from there they would hitchhike into Hiawasee page 60
Katz interrupts him before he can chow down, saying that he feels guilty about what they did to Mary Ellen. After all who knows where she is right now?
The man leaves the bros to mull over this news, but not before telling them to be careful—there's supposed to be a pretty big snowstorm coming.
A motel (even one as cruddy as this) has never felt so good. Although Hiawassee seems like it's straight out of Deliverance, our hiking homeboys are psyched to be back in
