The Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus is a historic organization dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of California and other western states, with a focus on mining history. Clampers, as they call themselves, are a benevolent lot and are dedicated to protecting Widders and Orphans... especially the Widders!

The photos linked below were taken 20 May 2006 at ECV Grand Council in Sonora California. On that day, the Grand Council elevated Doc Maynard Outpost 54-40 from the Seattle, Washington area to FULL ECV Chapter status. Mazltov!
