Thanks in part to the OHS and the Restorations Committee, the journals of explorer C.T.Blackstone are now on permanent exhibition and soon to be open to public viewing.

Odonatia, a world apart

Welcome to Odonatia, an island paradise for those seeking creative release. Unique and unspoiled, Odonatia offers beautiful sand beaches, cave diving, spelunking and all manner of outdoor sport.

Making Travel Arrangements

Odonatian Customs will resume granting passports to those who request them shortly. We apologize for the delays while our Planning Office reorganizes.

The Blackstone Journals

“I flew in to the island at early dusk on Thursday. Navigating the small atoll at night would be next to impossible I was told; Odonatia being fairly primitive technologically, you are at your own risk. No towers to guide you in. The runway is short with only less than a dozen yards for a margin of error. I packed my cases on a collapsible dolly that over the years I have found to be indispensible ... satellite phone, camera and cataloging equipment, laptop, clothing, personal items. The museum spared no expense with my equipment. I have never failed them in my work and they learned a long time ago to outfit me well if they wanted a higher caliber of archival. Odonatia being largely unexplored by the outside world, and this being my first of four trips...”

And so begins the chronicles of explorer C.T.Blackstone. Ms. Blackstone has been gracious enough to allow public view of her journals. Reproductions of four of Blackstone’s journals will be published and made available at some point. The Odonatian Cartographer’s Office will be providing maps as well as soon as the Planning Office is done reorganizing.
