Will Hopkins’s body wasn’t discovered in a ditch or ravine.
He was very much alive--more alive than ever, in fact.
He rode off into the night with ‘Starlene’ (whose real name turned out to be Nicole), Crystal, J-Dog, and a woman in a nightgown they jokingly re-named Patty.
As in Patty Hearst.
The gang had many adventures together in the coming years.
Will avoided the dreaded fate of a life in mundane suburbia.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The same could not be said for some of the people they encountered on the endless highways and byways of the land of the free.
