Bohemian Grove
Appearance
Bohemian Grove is an elite men's club located in Sonoma County, California. It is attended by several members of what some advocates call the "the Establishment" of the United States, including several presidents, government officials and other prominent people.
At the grove, guests allegdly attend a ritual wearing red-hooded robes and cremate a coffin effigy of "Dull Care" at the base of a 40-foot owl altar. This 'cremation of care' ceremony is the main attraction at the grove.
Some Bohemians include Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Alan Greenspan, Dwight D. Eisenhower, William Jefferson Clinton, Robert Novak, etc.
