Part of a series of 25 images, the Trip tells the story of couples Hank and Betty, and Stacey and Troy, who check into a roadside desert motel/diner, unaware that the owner 'Acid' James is hell-bent on testing his latest psychedelic concoctions on his unsuspecting guests. Fortunately for both couples, James's long-time hippie friends Arlo and Alice are on hand to help guide these simple Southern folk through their first hallucinatory experience. As social and generational barriers melt in the presence of this supercharged LSD cocktail, the guests finally get the mind-altering taste of the sixties that had otherwise passed them by.
