In 1964, writer Ken Kesey led a group known as the Merry Pranksters on a historic cross-country road trip using a psychedelic school bus. Thirty years later, in 1990, Kesey, now a farmer in Oregon, joined other members of the Pranksters for a reenactment of the original journey. The trip was covered by 'Sunday Morning' correspondent Bill Geist, who accompanied Kesey and the group as they traveled in a replica of the iconic bus. The story was originally broadcast on November 18, 1990, marking a tribute to the original adventure.
It underscored the lasting impact of Kesey's work and the Merry Pranksters' role in shaping the cultural landscape of the 1960s.
