Around The campfire, during a Bohemian Grove Annual encampment, a master-plan is conceived to diminish the availability of cheap, reliable public rail transportation. Included in the group of men developing the plan is Leonard Firestone, John D. Rockefeller and Bill Durant the future president of General Motors and the automotive industry has its beginning. This will include the Packard automobile, an Industrial Age Treasure.

The Bohemian Club motto is “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here” which implies that business deals are to left outside the 2700-acre private redwood acre grove. However, when good friends assemble for cocktails during the “Worlds, greatest men’s party.” (A quote from President Herbert Hoover), ordinary conversations can give birth to earth shaking events such as the Manhattan Project and many others.
