Saturday Morning Brain Teasers
I am going to post two photos of missions in northeren Sonora, Mexico. This brain teaser consists of two parts. First, identify the two missions.
Second, what is the link of the two missions to the history of Baja California?

The first Mission is Mission San Xavier del Bac (located south of Tucson) and the second is San Pedro y San Pablo Tubutama in Tubutama, Sonora Mx.
I've been to both of these missions and both are really something to see.
As far as the connection between the two and Baja is (I think) that the two Missions were headquarters for the entire Pimeria Alta Administration, at
one time or another, which would have included the Baja Pennisula.

The identification of the two missions is correct. The connection is not. Eusebio Francisco Kino was the Jesuit assigned to the failed Otondo
expedition to Baja California in the mid-1680s (San Bruno). In 1687, he went on the northern Sonora where he established both Tubutama and San
Francisco Xavier del Bac missions, along with others.

#1 looks like one we saw between Merida and Campeche (I think) on the Yucatan several years ago. or, is it Tubac?
Don't know the rest.

Cocospera and Pitiquito
The first two indeed are Cocospera and Pitiquito. The third one is a historic shot from the late 19th century of the mission ruins at Tucson. The
final one is a historic shot from the late 1880s of th ruins of Guevavi mission, located on the Santa Cruz River south of Tumacacori and north of
Nogales. the Guevavi mission ruins are located on a ranch owned at one time by John Wayne.
