eating under the trees with the wild deer and chipmunks, as local
restaurants cannot handle our numbers.

SPECIAL CONFERENCE EVENTS
Friday Evening Open House and Social: OBRL will be open
for an informal social chat and get-together from around 6 PM to 9 PM
the Friday before the Conference (July 31st). You are welcome to come
and meet others attending or speaking, and who arrive early.
Coffee-tea service with light snacks will be provided.
Weekend Night Events: For Saturday and Sunday nights, and
weather permitting, we may open the OBRL Rooftop Observatory for
telescopic observation for Conference guests. The OBRL Orgone
Energy Darkroom may also be open for having a look and sitting.
Demonstrations of Apparatus: On the first day of the
Conference, during breaks and off-periods, a few laboratory
demonstrations will be presented. The OBRL laboratory will be opened
up, along with the Orgone Energy Darkroom, allowing people to
sit inside, to feel the orgone radiation effects, which are
particularly strong at this high-altitude location. Weather
permitting, the flowing horizontal motion of the orgone energy in the
atmosphere may also be possible using our large "battleship
binoculars". Also a demonstration of the Experimental
Life-Energy Meter will be made, and possibly also the blue-glowing
bions in the microscope. Time permitting, we will try to do as
many of these demonstrations as possible, so that even for "old
time hands" to orgonomy, the events will be refreshing and
interesting.
Optional Monday Field Trip to Crater Lake: One of
the favorite field-trips in the area is the drive and visit to
nearby Crater Lake National Park. It takes about 1.5 hour
to drive to the lake, through the beautiful Oregon mountains and
back-country forests, with a few refreshing stops. Once there,
we take some time to visit the main overlooks and park gift-shops, get
a lunch, and then take the Rim Drive around the lake, which typically
has the bluest waters in the world. It will "knock
your eyes out"! (not literally) We then return home,
arriving back at the OBRL Center usually around 7 PM. This event
is a fully optional and privately-organized thing, only possible by
volunteer car-pooling of those who have attended the Conference and
who have a car and want to make the trip themselves, taking others
with them as their guests. So we cannot 100% guarantee this will
happen, but so far every year we have managed to do it, without
leaving anyone behind. More information will be available on Sunday
afternoon during the Conference.
OBRL Bookstore: All of the books and instruments offered
through the OBRL catalog will be available for direct examination and
purchase during the off-times of this Conference. We suggest to
review the offerings through the on-line catalog, and make up your
list in advance. Or, you can make up a list of what you want,
place your order on-line, pay for the items when you pick them up
during the conference and save on the shipping charges. See
