DJ: I never saw anyone piss on the redwood trees. There are plenty of restrooms around. I never saw any porn stars there. The Cremation of Care Ceremony I have never seen, but we did do a catering there by the river and saw the state and owl behind it. Mostly it was a wedding or two. A few times it was a musical performance at a camp. Many of the camps are for artists. One time it was a businessmen's camp. They were boring. Another camp, the one with the guy in tails fucking the young girl on the piano keys painting, was full of booze. The caretaker was a fat white drunken dyspeptic bigot who called the former black model we worked with a nigger. She left the job and stayed in the van until it was over. She never would work at the BG again.

But didn't they ban even female employees at the Grove for decades? I thought it was an exclusively male thing. Thanks.

Bernard Maybeck was a famous Arts & Crafts architect in California. He's in Wikipedia. Maybeck designed a two story log building in the Bohemian Grove. (This is what I was told by caretakers there at BG.) They showed my wife and I where the building was. On a catering job my wife and I walked over to the building and went up the outside stairs to the second floor and peeked in the windows. It was like looking into a museum. The decor was right out of 1938 in an old Film Noir movie. The story was that Churchill met FDR in this room and they ordered Manhattans to drink. They then discussed the Atomic Bomb Project and named it the Manhattan Project after their drinks. The story is probably bullshit as I can find no record of Winston Churchill coming to BG or NoCal, but it's a good story and that building gave us the creeps.

Very interesting, Timmy. Thanks for sharing!

Caterers were exempt from the "no female employees" rule. Don't know why. Probably because all caterers use women. The caretakers at the BG were all male.
