the 60s

On the road

Winnipeg

A trio of reprobates in Winnipeg, late 60s. Two of us continued on heading west using our thumbs. We'd hitch-hiked from Vancouver to Toronto, then Toronto to Fort William (Thunder Bay today), where we got a ride to Winnipeg with the fellow on the right, known to us only as "Tuck". Then a leisurely and unforgettable long time on the road heading west.

So many memories in old photos...looking at this reminds me of the time I read On The Road and Big Sur, and wanted to live a life like Kerouac and Richard Brautigan!!

LOL! This is cool! Hitchhiking was a great to get around! Growing up in the Rockies for us the land of milk and honey was California, so that's where we went, and it was for awhile. Pretty adventurous trips! So do you ever wonder what happened to Tuck?

Fabulous portrait of the 1960’s! I got my first guitar in 1973; influenced by the 60’s.

Jim Coffman		13-Jul-2018 02:04
What a memory this must be!

globalgadabout		13-Jul-2018 01:46
the flavour of the times well represented....what a freewheeling era that was...cool you have your guitar, when Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Elizabeth Cotton were such major influences...

Helen Betts		13-Jul-2018 01:41
