Wow David, you have been busy. Long time ago we talked about documenting the Baja historical sites before they are gone. Many are gone now, but you
have done an amazing job of organizing and preserving these sites for others for all time. Well done!David K - 2-13-2022 at 08:48 AM

Thanks Jack!
I have a few pages devoted to historical content.
Yes, you and I worked a lot to make these sites more 'real' and perhaps important by documenting them with photos and other details.
Here are some of the historic pages or links on VivaBaja.com:
The Spanish Missions and Visitas in Baja California (Photos, GPS, History)

Having the ability to easily make new pages and edit content on VivaBaja is most rewarding! Before, I was at the mercy of my webhost... a great guy
but busy so I didn't want to bug him too much.
You have great photos of the missions from around 2000 to 2003. Many of them were used for the mission page and in my book. When I was able to take
new photos during my many trips after 2003, I would replace your older ones with my newer ones.
Now, I think I will make a Jack Swords Mission Photos page for a look at the ancient artifacts as they were 20 years ago, plus, your photo quality is
so much better than mine! David K - 2-13-2022 at 01:49 PM
I am done with making Jack's Mission photos page. Some of these photos have not been shown before:
Now when you put your mouse on the map dots, you will see a photo of that location or nearby, along with the links to the article. [not every location
has a photo]
