Close Encounters in CA's High Desert
I met George Van Tassel when I was a kid (1957). He used to let us camp on his land near Giant Rock. (We were respectful, "no-trace" campers--that was important to him). His cafe was adorned with pictures of UFOs, as was the room under the Giant Rock. We kids were not allowed in the Integratron, as he said one had to be at least 25 to receive its benifits. Getting to the Integratron is no problem, but you'll need a vehicle with high ground clearance to get to the Giant Rock. (If a first-timer, you may also need a map. Or just keep bearing to the left at any forks--it's not far, but rough and sandy.)— August 12, 2012 1:12 a.m.
