The bus leaves Texas and they eventually end up in New Orleans. The gang takes a small amount of acid and ends up on a segregated beach for Africans only. They're not welcomed very nicely at first but once they start blaring music then there are tons of people gathered around the bus 'doing rock dances and the dirty boogie. Police, of course, ruin their fun and the group leaves to finally make their way in Florida where they settle for a bit. One of the guys, sandy, is really stressed and decides to take some of the 'unauthorized acid' that Kesey was saving. Sandy has a really bad trip, mostly because you should never take acid when you're in a negative state of mind, and Wolfe explains the horrors Sandy encounters on this trip.
They get to New York and even there, the people don't know how to handle them. Wolfe says 'even NY had to stop and stare'. One of Kesey's friends gets an apartment on Madison avenue and they throw a months long party. They left 'stark naked' in Texas because she lost her mind. The chapters end when Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg party with them, even though they don't have much to do with Kesey.
