1. Title: "A Hippie's Home on the Road: Redwood Shingle Camper Conversion on a Pickup Truck (1969)" 2.. This photograph showcases a unique and iconic representation of the free-spirited hippie culture that thrived during the late 1960s. The image features a redwood shingle camper conversion skillfully attached to the bed of a pickup truck, hailing from the beautiful Pacific Northwest state of Washington. The redwood shingles, a common building material in the region, have been meticulously applied to the exterior of the camper, creating a warm and earthy aesthetic. This mobile home on wheels, often referred to as a "hippy mobile," was a popular choice among travelers during this era, embodying the spirit of adventure and self-sufficiency. The conversion of a pickup truck into a living quarters was a practical solution for many hippies, who sought to explore the country and live off the grid. This innovative adaptation allowed them to carry their belongings, set up camp wherever they pleased, and travel at their leisure. The interior of these conversions varied greatly, but they often included essentials such as a bed, cooking facilities, and storage space. The freedom and flexibility offered by these hippie campers enabled their occupants to live a nomadic lifestyle, embracing the counterculture movement and the spirit of the times. This photograph, taken in 1969, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the hippie generation. It offers a glimpse into their unconventional lifestyle and the unique way they redefined the concept of home. The redwood shingle camper conversion on this pickup truck remains an enduring symbol of the hippie era and the spirit of adventure that continues to inspire travelers today.
