OKAR&R MISSIONS LOG
(Rescue & Respite ~ Rest & Recreation)

Most Burroughs fans are familiar with the
various ERB gatherings and conventions in the U.S.:
The Dum-Dum, ECOF, etc.
But more and more fans are becoming aware of a unique Canadian event -
OKAR'n'R: Rescue & Respite
which provides rest and recreation
for ERB fans who find themselves lost, stranded or under attack
while travelling in the wild northern regions of Okar - the Forbidden Land.

Our daughter, Tara of the North and her savage calot companion, Atticus,
are always on the lookout for any trouble that wayward travellers may run into
and they provide invaluable assistance in
our quest to provide succour to travellers in peril.
