- Discover these historic and architectural treasures in a region of upstate New York famous for its natural beauty and extensive wilderness. Part One explores the early history of this rustic architecture and how it evolved from the simple lean-to or log cabin called a camp into grand estates often known as Great Camps. In the late 1800's, the scenic Raquette Lake area became the center for much of this camp building. Here, the Great Camps of William West Durant - Pine Knot, Uncas & Sagamore - were show places that inspired imitation and attracted the wealthy who desired rustic yet elegant wilderness retreats. Durant built his camps in harmony with nature and they have stood the test of time as monuments to his vision. His exploits in the Adirondacks tell a fascinating story and follow the early development of the region by boat, by train and by dreams.

- Past Future Journey Nile travels to the Ancient Egyptian temples along the Nile in their ascending order of awareness and enlightenment, revealing their holistic wisdom and spiritual destiny for us today and for tomorrow.
- The story of the Great Camps continues in the Saranac/St.Regis Lakes region of the Adirondacks. Here these woodland estates evolved in appearance and stature from 1897 to 1907 through the talents of architect William Coulter. On the shores of the Saranac Lakes, he designed grand rustic lodges at camps Moss Ledge, Eagle Island, Prospect Point and at other distinguished camps. The wealthy considered an Adirondack camp fashionable. On Upper St. Regis Lake, the richest woman in the world, Marjorie Merriweather Post, built her own Great Camp in the 1920's, the lavish Topridge, while at nearby White Pine Camp with its picturesque Japanese teahouse, President Coolidge spent his summer fishing. A log villa set in the heart of the Adirondacks, Santanoni, possibly the grandest camp of its time, tells a different story. Donated to New York State, the camp deteriorated over many years but is now enjoying a renaissance with the help of state and local government and the preservation community. The public can now visit this special Great Camp whose owner might be considered nature itself.
- A recreation and re-imagining of past grandeur, Trail of the Sphinx evolves such splendor into a very special multimedia presentation. The music is a blend of cultural sensibilities, modern and ancient motifs, electronic and acoustic instrumentation. The dances are a synthesis of traditional Middle Eastern with a contemporary interpretation, symbolic and at times sensual. The production mixes these performances against the dramatic backdrop of Egypt's archaeological treasures creating an expansive cinematic interpretation. The result is a meditation on the eternal mystery of the legendary Sphinx that leads us from the old world to a future one. The shifting sands of time may obscure its path, yet we are still drawn to its compelling destiny.
