Sunday Morning Brain Teaser
I am attaching two c. 1880 photos of one of the 21 Franciscan missions in California. Which mission is shown in the two photos?

Another clue
Here is a shot of the site today. It is located in a city made famous by W.C. Fields.

Nope
Not Atascadero, which was the site of a state mental hospital. W.C. Fields mentioned the name of this town in many of his movies, probably because he
liked the way it sounds.

Looks a little like the mission at Carmel. Hard to tell with no town there. Its got a similar shape though.
At a feast of egos, everyone leave\'s hungry...

Response to Jack
Jack needs to be more specific. And it is not San Carlos-Carmel.

C'mon Robert...La Pur?sima Concepcion de Maria Santisima, original site. Destroyed by earthquake and rebuilt at another site. Both nearby Lompoc, CA.
Good photos...
Is there a valuable prize?

How about your new mission book Robert?
Is it out yet, how can we get an autographed copy???
If it has Baja missions in it, I will add ordering info. to my Baja Notebook, where other new Baja books are listed!

Jack and David
Jack. Not everybody is familiar with the first site or the history of the mission. The book is out. If you want to send me a copy, I will sign it and
return it. I was not given anywhere enough copies to give to people I would like to. One of the photos of the first site of La Purisima, occupied
1788-1812, appears in my new book. The gully in the side of the hill behind the mission was most likely caused by the 1812 earthquake.
