No major complaints on the article from my end. The minor thought is that the Grove’s spokesman, Sam Singer, is allowed the last quote saying, “…this is anything but an elite group.” I don’t agree to say the least. I am not the only one apparently. Another article was published on-line the same night by the same paper (Press Democrat). It covered more of the economic surge for business’s near the Grove. One quote from that article makes it clear this is an elite retreat. “One day a grove member spent $20,000. It’s not unusual for one member to come in and buy in one day what we have sold in a month.” That is wine they are talking about there boss. -ed

The Bohemian Grove, a redwood-spired sanctuary to powerful men for 120 years, today opens its gates near Monte Rio for its annual, two-week encampment.
The gathering of the all-male Bohemian Club is expected to draw a small group of protesters this weekend when the bulk of the guests are expected to arrive. The encampment lasts through July 26.
The small demonstration contrasts with some of the larger-scale protests of earlier years, usually coinciding with Republican presidential administrations over the past three decades. Every Republican president since Herbert Hoover reportedly has belonged to the 2,500-member club.
Mary Moore, who helped found the Bohemian Grove Action Network in the 1980s, said she is happy that new activists are still trying to draw attention to leaders of government, banking, business and the military who gather in the grove.
