Neal Cassady with his girlfriend at the time, Anne Murphy, on a trip to Bolinas with Charlie Plymell and Allen, Fall 1963. “When we stopped at a convenience store, I asked Allen to borrow his camera to take this shot as if nothing had happened and we went for a roller coaster ride. Neal was all smiles and otherwise had a nice time lying on the hills overlooking the shore at Bolinas. Allen was still in his Whitmanesque/India mode then.” (Photo & Caption: Charles Plymell)
