Last night was a great group, and we got some good feedback.

Tomorrow night (SAT) at 5:30 we do the show again in Lakeside, CA. then Sunday morning in Orange County, near El Toro/Lake Forest.

The show tells how the 48 California missions were founded in their true order, with a photo slide at each mission and a map to show where the mission is in the three modern states of California. We chat a bit about some interesting tidbit of history at each mission. Max, being the bell expert has a few facts on the mission bells of Alta California too. Max co-hosted with Huell Howser on a one hour California Gold special about the El Camino Real bells.

Nice to see the interest in Baja's missions. I'm sure you and Max are covering them well.

David K - 11-14-2014 at 03:44 PM

Thank you Jack for your research and great photos... many of which are in the book and shown to our audience!

I am ready to do a full round of updated photos, as it has been around 15 years since you took most of the pictures. I can't get enough of the Baja Time Machine where we can go and be in a place that was alive 300 years ago, in such a remote location.

We're headed down in two weeks, I'll try to hit some in Baja Sur for more recent photos. Things are changing rapidly in Baja. Are you thinking a trip later this spring with 4WD?

David K - 11-14-2014 at 09:55 PM

I am hoping that would be possible. Thanks for any new photos you take.

Max and I will be in Lakeside today at 5:30 for another presentation of the 48 missions founded from 1697-1834 in the three states of California. Remember, 'Baja' was California first!

When I see Max soon for today's show I will let him know that Lane hasn't replied. I will post details. If you don't see anything here just let the gate guard know you are going to the Canal Zone meeting.

Ken Cooke - 11-15-2014 at 05:21 PM

I will have to go next time.

David K - 11-15-2014 at 10:17 PM

Anyone not a member of the Panama Canal Association, just let the security guard know you are attending the meeting and are invited... Max (a member) tells me it's no problema!
