The Testing Ground: Volume 3 – Grand Celebrationis set in a future time after third orb inhabitants have been tested and pardoned from threat of extinction. The Grand Celebration site, located in Bozeman, New Montana, opened to visitors 484 solar years after Offworlders settled in the Big Hole Valley, Old Montana. Volume 3 of the Testing Groundtrilogy is a visitor’s guide to the celebration displays and activities. Visitors are presented with historical documentation explaining how bipeds from two different worlds initially confronted, then respected, each other and worked together to repel foreign invaders to preserve their communities and freedom. The celebration guide describes the structures and contents of three extraordinary pavilions: History, Unity, and Travel. Each pavilion contains displays of thousands of historic relics and touch-screen information modules documenting how bipeds from two different cosmic orbs worked together for mutual survival on the Testing Ground.The guide also provides side-trip itineraries to visit local, regional, and international events, as well as opportunities to join exploration teams for unique educational visits to far-off regions of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Visitors learn how previous third orb religious and political confrontations threatened survival and altered the physical geography and landscape features in contested war zones, including the Middle East and Korean Peninsula. Documentation reveals how atomic explosions along previously undetected fault lines dramatically changed the structure of the Mediterranean region and disrupted river flow into the once Middle Sea, leaving a barren, dry basin. The Grand Celebration guide also reveals how individual, family, and community decisions, coupled with hard work, cooperation, and trust, produced lasting peace and reconciliation, as Testing Ground inhabitants prevailed and averted potential annihilation.
