Followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh bought a 64,000-acre ranch and built a city on it with its own airstrip, buses and police force. When the county pushed back they poisoned ten salad bars in The Dalles with salmonella, sickening 751 people: still the largest bioterror attack in American history. The ranch is a Christian youth camp now.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
