Is the description your Da vid K. Or did you forget to give someone else credit? Just wondering where that piece of history comes from.

I did. Guess I am just slow. You provide a "plan of San Bruno (north is to the right)". Just wondering where and how you came up with it.

I had no idea Loreto was only 15 miles south of San Bruno.

The plan comes from Padre Kino who was there in 1683-1685 and appears in several publications. The one in my article is scanned from Ed Vernon's book,
Las Misiónes Antiguas, 2002. Ed and I were friends he gave me permission to use his San Bruno images. I detailed the plan and have more photos in my
trip report when I came back from San Bruno, last month. I guess you didn't read it? http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=92768
Hope that answers your questions.  |
Oh OK I'll check out his book. Wouldn't it just be easier to properly cite the source?

Vernon didn't credit his source for it in his book. He simply called it a "fanciful period drawing"...
I have Kino's biography, 'Rim of Christendom' by Herbert Bolton, 1936. While the book goes into great detail on the San Bruno colony, that drawing is
not in it. A map that Kino drew in 1683 is, however. It shows both the La Paz and San Bruno colonies, but no site plans of either.
Edit: Because this thread is about all the newsletter, not just my article, I removed some replies to clean the thread. Please go to the Historic
Interests or my trip report forum to discuss San Bruno more.

Boy did that picture of Rene's restaurant in Greg Niemann's article bring back memories. It was one of our favorite places to stop usually on our way
back to San Diego. In 1993 we stopped for an early dinner and when we left my 1991 chevy 4x4 was gone along with the trailer and ATV I was pulling. We
told the manager and he called security who checked a couple of places where stolen vehicles have been taken to then to the police station. A lady
setting at a table said she saw two young men driving out in a blue chevy PU with the trailer when they came in. She said it was odd because they
acted like they didn't know how to drive, kind of herky jerky. I got the truck back about a 10 days later in good shape but without the trailer and
ATV. While it was stolen I purchased a new 1993 Toyota 4x4 PU.
I put 220,000 miles on that chevy then put a new engine and tranny it in 2003 and gave it to my son in 2004. He keep it until 2014 and sold it to his
next door neighbor for $500. The neighbor still has it.
