While meeting Wayne Westerberg, Chris McCandless seem intense and talkative about his plans to hitchhike to Saco hot springs. The day Westerberg picked up Chris McCandless, it was raining rather hard and Westerberg offered Chris McCandless his nearby trailer where he could stay. Chris McCandless accepts and ends up staying for three days before going off on his journey once again. Before McCandless departs Westerberg mentions he owns a grain elevator in Carthage, South Dakota and if he ever needed a job to go to him and he'll give him a job. So a few weeks later, McCandless arrives in Carthage and begins working for Westerberg in a psychically challenging job. McCandless stayed with Westerberg until Westerberg was thrown in jail. In all McCandless got to be close to Westerberg for all his generosity towards him. Westerberg continued to receive postcards from McCandless until he recieved his last postcard in 1192.
