Are you Jay's (with the mud hut) neighbor? I know he is not at the end anymore.

Here's my 2002 photo of the warehouse remains on the shore of Bahia San Luis Gonzaga... Punta Willard in the distance:




The warehouse was likely Franciscan, imo. It was used more for San Fernando de Velicata and the Serra expedition than Santa Maria. Serra had a cargo trail built that begins on the bay and goes west bypassing Santa Maria and joins El Camino Real 4 miles west of that mission.

From Dr. Ritter, email of May, 2013:

(in part): "I did do a field documentation and limited test excavation at the Gonzaga ruins. There is a rock slab floor down about 40 cm. No artifacts per se--a few Mission-era (presumably) potsherds outside (very difficult to find the little pieces) and a few basalt flakes and maybe one older piece of green glass."
