Vivian Barrett was 63 in 1988 when she purchased a Honda motor scooter in Glendale, Calif. and set out on her scooter to see the United States.  She sometimes stayed with friends or camped out in a two-person dome tent.  She carried these items on the back of her scooter in a plastic milk carton.  In November of 1988, she lived in Myakka River State Park and Oscar Scherer State Park in Sarasota County as funds permitted.  When she was low on cash, she stayed in her tent in the woods just off the roadway.  On Jan. 3, 1989 she went to an ATM machine in Sarasota Florida and withdrew $260. The next day, she wrote and mailed a letter to her family advising that she was leaving the Sarasota County Florida area for North Florida.  Five days later, on Jan. 9, 1989,  Barrett's scooter was found in a wooded area off State Road 66 in Highlands County, some 107 miles east of her last known location.  The tag had been removed, as had the milk crate containing the tent.  Family members advised that Barrett was very confrontational, which may have led to her disappearance and probable death.  However, she also wrote that if she got sick she would die in the woods.
