Integratron

Landers, CA is the American equivalent of Timbuktu, Africa: The end of the world, about 35 miles north of Palm Springs. Home of extreme individuals; get-away-from-it-all deep desert dwellers. Eccentricity is commonplace here.

Case in point: George Van Tassel, builder of the Integratron pictured above. He was telepathically instructed by extraterrestrials to build this temple exactly here, without nails, to this exact pattern. Its purpose is to capture and focus harmonic, healing, anti-aging energies for those seated at its exact center. George died anyway in 1978, but the healing continues by two nice ladies who will seat you and "wash you with rejuvenating sounds" for the low, low price of $10.
