This website will continue with the 56 years of rich history of Esselen Lodge in the Monterey Bay Area Council.  It will not cover the history of the new Saklan Lodge in the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council.
 
It costs about $400 per year to keep this website and my Camp Pico Blanco History website operating.  If you would like to help out with a donation then please click on the "PayPal Donate" button to the left.  Any amount would be appreciated.
