Chris McCandless arrived in Bullhead City in October after his summer stay on the Oregon coast. Chris stayed in Bullhead City for about two months which is the longest he had stayed in one place since leaving Atlanta. Chris actually thought about settling down in Bullhead City, that was until his feet got "itchy" again.

While Chris was staying in Bullhead City, he got a full time job at McDonald's. Many co-workers later complained he was a slow worker who needed a shower.
