To each their own. 🍻 Have either you or @Chef Jim been to Bohemian Grove? That was quite a trip! My wife’s coworker waited 14 years to get in, and we happened to be there for one of the few times a year women are allowed in. It’s like summer camp for gazillionaires and artists and musicians! Thousands of acres with over 100 “camps” (often with outbuildings for live bands and commercial kitchens - we had a sit down lunch for 40) deep in the redwoods. No phones and certainly no photos or your host gets in trouble. I was a 60’s hippie for a day. It was awesome! EDIT: My bad, meant to tag Chef Jim and @Draconator. Opps!

His choice of team to support had nothing to do with it. 10 minutes ago, Augie said: Have either you or @Chef Jim been to Bohemian Grove? That was quite a trip!

Over 100 “camps” with common areas and amphitheaters here and there. They have outdoor dining like Hogwarts with seating for 400 for breakfast. I’m not kidding. We had a terrific speaker before lunch, a fabulous sit down lunch for 40 at our little “camp” (with wine from my wife’s co-workers winery), then the big amphitheater for a show with 3 of the 4 main voices from a huge production (Phantom of the Opera?). We had to leave as the show amphitheater was filling up. Former Presidents and Kissinger belonged, along with guys like Jimmy Buffett. They have improv comedy between tech talks and Broadway music. 🤷♂️ Quirky does not begin to describe it. .

For me it was "what's there to do here? Oh look, I'm less than 5 miles from the factory and they offer tours" type of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My highlight was going to see the Jelly Belly factory. I did that and the Budweiser brewery in the same day. Was done working out there early (like 1 PM) and they were on the way home. Jelly Belly was much better. They are maybe a half mile apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
