From the archives: Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters

In 1964, writer Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters traveled across the country in a 1939 school bus named Furthur. Fueled by LSD, alcohol, and music, the trip became a symbol of liberation and the counterculture movement. While the original bus eventually rusted, it is now displayed in San Francisco for restoration. Decades later, in 1990, Kesey and other Merry Pranksters revisited this legacy by riding a replica of the iconic psychedelic bus through Oregon.
