Is that a double wide in the lower right hand corner?;)

Wow, fascinating!

What is the background on this sketch?

We've gone up the valley to inspect the ruins and always sneer at the bogus Calafia "Mission" site.

As a kid, our family regularly engaged weekend trips to the various mission locations in Alta California.

Under a protective roof, next to a modern church... just east of the toll road between Puerto Nuevo and Cantamar.

Hey great timing. We are going to Rosarito Monday-Wed next week. I'll go and check it out. Thanks

Hope you find the fence gate open... The church was closed and the gate surrounding the church and mission as well... last time I tried to see it.
