In 1976, near the of the Ford Administration, hippies no were hip anymore, Sue Vargo and Molly Mead thought they would like to go across their destination in the Florida Keys in a Volkswagen bus.

They purchased a battered VW bus from 1967, with white and red with a split-window as well as a stick shift which grew out of on the ground like a strong sapling, a large flat, bus-driver’s steering wheel that was half larger than a hula hoops and windshield wipers that wiggled around and back – excited and happy like a puppy. They didn’t wipe everything away. The bus was not equipped with suspension. “You just bounced along,” Vargo declared bobbing her head. “Boing, boing, boing.”
