California's last mission was founded in Baja California in 1834, over a dozen years after Mexico became independent of Spain, but the need for
missions to serve the natives of California caused an exception to the secularization act that stripped the missions away from the Catholic Church in
other areas of Mexico.
Max and I visited the Guadalupe mission museum site and photographed the foundation (as indicated by the museum guide)... My web host updated my Baja
Missions page on Guadalupe recently with these photos of a site (that has not appeared in books until our second edition of 'The Old Missions...' and
now my mission web pages, here): http://vivabaja.com/missions2/page12.htmlacademicanarchist - 9-8-2013 at 04:36 AM

I agree that the facts point to this and the same for Descanso. Is it politics that controls history or evidence? Thank you Robert!
