He was nicknamed that because, for someone who tries to escape the frenzy of our society, it is as if he were in the desert and found, in the middle of nowhere, an oasis.It is a place where we live in autonomy and in harmony with nature, a place where everyone is welcome and who preaches an alternative lifestyle.FRA - BRETAGNE - UNE COMMUNAUTÉ AUTONOME EN CENTRE BRETAGNEDans la campagne reculée du Centre Bretagne, au bout dune route que le GPS peine à indiquer, on finit par atteindre le lieu-dit Kerlanic, appelé par ses résidents « Oasis Kerlanic ».

An area where Fort McCoy archaeology team members with the Colorado State Universitys (CSU) Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands who works in partnership with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch (NRB) were looking for artifacts during an archaeological survey July 14, 2022, is shown on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. For several weeks in July, Fort McCoy archaeological team members with NRB and CSU held a special archaeological survey and dig on South Post. The team did their survey in the South Post Housing Area, which also happens to be the oldest areas of the installations origins where Camp Robinson and Camp Emery-Upton once were located. In the actual location of the survey, however, the team was looking at areas around old concrete tent pads that were once part of Camp Robinson.
