Furthur: The Bus Then & Now
In the 60s In 1964, Ken Kesey and his group of “Merry Pranksters,” fueled by LSD and a free-wheeling spirit of adventure, painted a 1939 International Harvester school bus in DayGlo colors and piloted it across the US on a trip that would go down in history as a cultural milestone. The bus, dubbed “Further” (or “Furthur,” varying by day and mood), was purchased largely with Ken’s earnings from the publication of his best-selling novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest . Tom Wolfe’s popular 1968 account of the trip and the bus, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test , would go on to cement Furthur and the Pranksters as cultural icons signaling broad changes in American society.
What it Represents More than any other work of art, the bus represents the sweeping changes that came over the country in the 60s. As people began to question traditional values and means of expression, Furthur stood as a highly visible representation of a new brand of American freedom. In a highly positive and meaningful way, its whimsical character became a metaphor for a new brand of psychedelic exploration. While the Pranksters, themselves, bridged the gap between the Beats and Hippies, the bus was a physical manifestation of the idea of a psychedelic trip.
Furthur’s Decline By the late 1960s, the original Furthur began to fall into disrepair. By that time, Ken had returned to Oregon, where he raised his family, continued to write, and taught at the University of Oregon. While a second version of Furthur (not “Furthur 2”) was created in the late 1980s, the original bus was resigned to the “swamp,” a wet, low-lying area behind the Kesey family farm. Overgrown by weeds and surrendered to the wild, the bus remained in the swamp till October 2005, when a group of about 30 Pranksters, family, and devoted fans cut away the blackberry vines and trees that had overtaken it and pulled it free. During its time unprotected in the outdoors, Furthur largely rusted away. The interior rotted, and the once-beautiful exterior art faded nearly completely away.
Let’s Bring it Back Following its initial rescue in 2005, the bus has been safely secluded away in covered storage. Lacking the significant funding necessary to rebuild it and restore its art, it has continued to slowly rust. With your generous donations, and the help of highly qualified restoration experts and artists, we hope to soon return the bus to its 1964 splendor, and preserve this important and inspirational artifact to inspire future generations as has inspired so many others.

Pennsylvania is a key battleground state
Pennsylvania provides 19 electoral votes (one less than it did in 2020). It was one of a handful of states that switched its vote from Donald Trump in 2016 to the Democratic Party in 2020.
In 2016, Trump won the state by less than 50,000 votes, beating Hillary Clinton with 48.6% of the vote compared to 47.9% of the vote for Clinton.
In 2020, President Joe Biden won 50% of the votes, beating Trump who won 48.8% of the vote.
Harris has already made several campaign stops in Pennsylvania, including her first appearance with running mate Walz. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was another top contender for vice president.
When is the Democratic National Convention?
Harris' western Pennsylvania tour comes as many others in the party are headed to Chicago for the DNC.
The DNC is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 19 through Thursday Aug. 22.

This adventure begins on the Las Vegas Strip , where passengers board an air-conditioned bus and head to the West Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. From there, they board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Next, visitors head for Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. There's also an option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).
Good to know: Grand Canyon West is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribal Nation.

Price: From $94 per person Duration: About 11 hours
This tour will show you the best of the West Rim, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can trek to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.
A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo (but keep in mind this stop is only available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.
No matter which option you choose, previous travelers say you will enjoy this tour — especially the expert guides, who they describe as both informative and entertaining.
Good to know: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.
![acid tour bus Closeup of the National Park Express logo on a bus.](https://www.usnews.com/object/image/0000018a-e22a-d03a-a9eb-f72bc03c0000/5-grand-canyon-national-park-south-rim-tour-from-las-vegas-with-lunch-national-park-express.jpg?update-time=1696012159380&size=responsiveFlow640)

Previous travelers commend the tour guides and drivers, noting they are both knowledgable and pleasant.
Lunch, bottled water and a granola bar are included in tour rates. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).
Good to know: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area (such as coyotes and bighorn sheep) often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim.

This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.
You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.
Previous travelers say this tour makes for a really long day, but that the experience is well worth the time.

This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon.
Additionally, this all-inclusive tour stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as a tour guide makes for an even more fun experience according to previous tourgoers.
Good to know: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to begin bus tour in Pittsburgh
P ITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Prior to the Democratic National Convention, Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris along with her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will be hitting the road as part of a bus tour and it will kick off here in Pittsburgh.
Joining them will be Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz as they travel to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention.
According to the Harris-Walz Campaign, the tour starts in Pittsburgh and will make multiple stops across Pennsylvania and other states.
The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago from August 19 through August 22.
This will mark the eighth time Vice President Harris has visited Pennsylvania this year and the 18th time since she was sworn in as vice president.
The Harris-Walz Campaign said that they have 36 offices, and 300 staffers, and have had more than 43,000 people sign up to support the campaign in Pennsylvania since it began four weeks ago.
This comes just days after former President Donald Trump said he would be returning to Butler for a campaign stop after an assassination attempt in July.
The Trump Campaign has not announced the date or location in Butler for his rally.

Harris and Walz to kick off Pennsylvania bus tour in Pittsburgh

The day before the opening of the Democratic National Convention, Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will kick off a bus tour of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh on Sunday, the campaign announced. It will be the pair’s first campaign appearance in western Pennsylvania, after Harris introduced Walz at a rally in Philadelphia on Aug. 6. They’ll be joined by their spouses Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz.
The campaign said the tour would focus on “meeting voters where they are” in community settings, with stops to include canvassing kick off events and local retail stops.
Harris officially became the Democrats’ presidential nominee earlier this month by a roll call vote of Democratic National Committee delegates, after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid last month and endorsed her.
This will be Harris’ eighth visit to Pennsylvania this year, and her 18th visit since being sworn into office, the campaign said. She appeared in the commonwealth on July 13 in Philadelphia to court Asian-American voters and has also made stops this cycle in Pittsburgh to tout the administration’s infrastructure investments, in Philadelphia to talk student debt with educators , and in Montgomery County to speak in support of reproductive rights .
The campaign said it now has 36 coordinated offices and nearly 300 staffers on the ground across Pennsylvania, and in the four weeks since Harris announced her candidacy, more than 43,000 people have signed up to volunteer for the campaign in Pennsylvania.
Although he visited the eastern half of the state several times in 2024, Biden only made one 2024 campaign stop in western Pennsylvania, visiting the United Steelworkers in April ahead of the state’s primary election.
Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee for president, will campaign in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday for a rally at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. The visit will be Trump’s seventh to the Keystone State in 2024, but his first to northeast Pennsylvania this cycle. Trump appeared in Harrisburg for a rally on July 31 , his first visit to Pennsylvania following an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler on July 13.
A Times-Siena poll released Aug. 10 shows Harris leading Trump by four percentage points in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

We offer both Prevost and MCI Entertainer Coaches as well as Executive Limo Styled Coaches...
Check out this video to give you an up close and personal look at who we are...
STAR COACHES: THE PIONEER OF THE EXECUTIVE LIMO COACH...
After meeting with numerous coach builders who turned him down, Danny met with Jerry Calhoun, the Godfather of the rock & roll bus industry.
The meeting was brief and to the point. Jerry asked Danny to write down references and then told him to go to lunch...
When Danny returned from lunch Jerry said "Go pick out a bus, I believe in you!"
Since 1990 and millions of dollars later, the relationship between Danny Hamilton and Jerry Calhoun has been very special.
FEATURED ON CELEBRITY MOTOR HOMES

14 BUNKER COACHES
![acid tour bus](https://starcoachesinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5569_120_012419.png)
Many years ago, and thanks to our friend George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, we made a decision to convert some of our coaches from 12 bunkers to 14 bunkers...
This move has opened the door to helping bands save money by "sharing a bus" with an opening act, or carrying a full crew and keeping the cost involved to only one bus...
With a year round rate starting at $850 / day, our 2013 to 2016 model 14 bunker coaches can really make a difference to bands and touring theatrical shows that are faced with tight budgetary restraints...
OUR DRIVERS GIVE BACK…
"GUYS, FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR CLIENTS."
We knew that the economy was going to tank. We didn't know when, or how bad things would get, we just knew the bubble was going to burst.
Over the course of two weeks, we held countless phone calls with all of our drivers discussing their ideas on "how to make a difference".
They came up with many great ideas. Finally, our drivers decided that the best way to give back and make a difference was to change their overdrive structure IN FAVOR of the client.
Industry standard has always been, and still is, for a driver to charge an overdrive (equal to a days pay) after driving 450 miles.
Our drivers voluntarily and collectively, decide to break that mold.
Their decision was to NOT charge a client an overdrive at 450 miles, but rather at 501 miles.
This was a HUGE move on their part. Unheard of in the industry. They were mocked and ridiculed by their esteemed colleagues in the industry.
BUT... They made a difference.
So, ever since 2005, our great drivers have made a significant difference to our clients every day with their overdrive structure, which starts at 501 miles, not at 450 miles like our competition!
Our drivers WILL save you money on your next tour!

More often than not, when clients compare a Star Coaches proposal to our competitor's proposals, our proposal will "appear" to be more expensive.
Why? Because it is thorough...
It's NOT designed to be "pretty"... it's designed to be accurate. Actually, it is designed for you to end your tour BELOW the projected budget.
Don takes the time to prepare every single proposal for every single tour himself.
He suggests stop point cities on longer drives to keep a driver safe and legal.
While this level of thoroughness takes more time, it has been invaluable, especially for foreign clients that are not familiar with the geographical layout of the United States.
See for yourself what many consider to be the best, and most informative proposal in the industry, and then get ready to enjoy "coming in below budget" at the end of your tour.

TRAILER WEIGHT LIMITS…
Most of the time, this is not a problem, as most bands are staying within our 10,000 pound limit for GVWT (Gross Vehicle Weight, or a loaded trailer)...
By the way, for you Production Managers, our trailers weight about 4,500 pounds empty, leaving you about 5,500 pounds for the gear / merch...
Anyhow, a more frequent occurrence is that we find ourselves receiving a frantic call from our drivers at pick up stating that "this trailer is very heavy"...
So we instruct the driver to immediately weigh the full trailer, only to find that the GVWT is over 10,000 pounds... This becomes a new problem...
To battle this potential problem, we suggest making sure your packed load is less than 5,500 pounds, and if you must exceed that limit, act BEFORE the tour pick up...
Rent a box truck and a driver...
Star Coaches now has a small team of box truck drivers that can help solve the problem of a disaster at pick up...
If you can't get the gear to 5,500 pounds, let us know, and we will gladly assign one of our auxiliary drivers to your rented box truck from Hertz, Budget or UHaul...
Don't be THAT guy who is overweight at pick up...
