Terrific AP story about the bus and its adventures:

Has a great photo of Kesey with the bus, overgrown
with moss after he'd towed it into a swamp when he
finally retired it. His son wants to restore it and
send it out again, but I think I agree with Kesey's
widow that it ought to stay where it is, "becoming
part of the swamp," as she puts it.

It's an interesting experience. It would be a lot more
fun in a non-dentist setting, though.
