On a mountain in Vermont named Equinox, there is a monastery manned by the ultra-reclusive Carthusian Monks, an order founded in France by St. Bruno in 1084 CE. Visitors are not allowed. On another face of the mountain is a tunnel dug for a now-abandoned cryonics receptacle which would have contained the frozen preserved bodies of several prominent high-IQ individuals for future reawakening. Near the summit is a secret Cold-War NORAD radar site, now in use for local radio stations.
