What is the bus called further? This 1934 International Harvester school bus, named Further became an international icon of the hippy movement after the Merry Pranksters drove it from California to New York and back in 1964. Writer Ken Kesey was the catalyst for the merry Band of Pranksters.
What happened to the original Further bus?
The original bus's last journey was a trip to the Woodstock Festival in 1969. After its historic trips, the bus was gutted and used around the Keseys' farm in Oregon until at least 1983. It was mentioned and pictured in an article in the May–June Saturday Review.
Does the further bus still exist?
The original 1964 Furthur was eventually dragged out of the swamp with a tractor and now resides in a warehouse at Kesey's farm in Oregon, alongside the 1990 Further.
