Mom and Pop Walton's Off Season Business - Walton's Grizzly Lodge California Summer Camp

For many years during the holiday season Mom and Pop Walton sold Christmas trees to help earn extra money and keep camp afloat during our non summer months. Pop would cut trees near Walker Mine, which is about a 30 minute drive from camp, and then truck them back to Vallejo where they would sell them from a Christmas tree lot while staying in a trailer on the lot.

The photos included here were taken on the Christmas tree lot in Vallejo. Mom can be seen in the first photo and Pop and his grandson Bob Stein are in the second photo.
