In the late 1960s, thousands of young people all over America left their homes and headed to the West Coast. They drove in vans, hitchhiked, and rode buses toward San Francisco. They were on spiritual quests, searching for meaning and purpose in life, and enticed by tales of hippies whose lifestyle revolved around sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll music.
