Nostalgia for the day the real Merry Pranksters and the king himself, Ken Kesey came back to visit La Honda. The Further bus on its way to England with its famous fellow travelers all aboard. The year was 1999, the month was June, and about 300 people gathered to see this unusual and spectacular site. I created the photo collage from pictures taken that day.
