Thanks to historian/ author Dr. Robert Jackson ('academicanachist' on Nomad) the photos I took of missions last month from helicopter and ground got
nicely enhanced with his photo editing program.
SAN VICENTE (1780):
SANTO DOMINGO (1775, moved 1798):
EL ROSARIO (1774, moved 1802):
SAN FERNANDO DE VELICATÁ (1769):
Edit to add on more photo at San Vicente

The final photo is just to the west of the mission site and shows the San Fernando arroyo. The petroglyphs are located on the cliff at the far end of
the arroyo just before it goes off the photo.güéribo - 10-26-2014 at 07:34 PM

Flying in a helicopter is hard to beat to see Baja in a whole new manner!
The TV show should be coming soon... I hear I made the cut (my lecture at one or two of the missions) for the CBS Sports special... Trail of Missions
with Cameron Steel.güéribo - 10-27-2014 at 10:29 AM
Wish you could do this for all the missions! It's nice to see each mission in their geographical "context" from above.CaboSur - 10-27-2014 at 01:47 PM

Have you seen my mission locator web page...? Google Earth at each site, driving directions, and the GPS.... http://vivabaja.com/missions4
When things get slow for me, I could do closer in Google or Bing satellite views that would be much like a helicopter view?David K - 10-27-2014 at 05:32 PM
