Here is a drone screenshot of the fort of Real de San Bruno, built in 1683. Harald was asking for this...



The three-sided fort is very clear here. The plan (below) is the opposite of the photo. In the photo, north is to the left and in the plan, north is to the right...

I have driven the road right next to it a few times to get to the beach
through the dry lake bed with the airstrip
noticed the foot traffic, but could never find anything

I actually can make it out in your GE image... but it is very hard.

Glad you are liking them, Ed. The next one has us going to San Ignacio, the San Pablo Canyon visita, and some history about Ricky Brabec, America's Dakar M/C racer.

Nice! I was down there a couple weeks ago, also taking aerial shots of San Bruno.

Thanks Geoff... Excellent capture of the 1683 fort. History lives in Baja, the FIRST California!
