The latest Merry Pranksters' bus, Further rolled into Bend, Oregon on June 17. The bus' original cross-country tour 50 years ago, says Zane Kesey, son of Prankster's founder Ken, "was the beginning of the '60s."

In July, the bus will hit the road, with the goal of traveling 13,000 miles and stopping at seven music festivals along the way. It took a Kickstarter campaign to fund the adventures of these latter-day Pranksters.
