For the Nomad mission fans: New albums for each mission >>>
Now that my book is "out-of-print" (it was a good 10-year-run), I am making photo albums for the missions. They will have current and historic photos,
site plans from INAH and others, and the chapter from my book, Baja California Land of Missions.
I am re-editing the page as I improve the presentation, find more photos, and what-ever to make it the one-stop place to get up-to-speed on what is
there now and what used to be there.
As of March 23, 2026, I have 7 mission albums done. Please enjoy a look and give me any feedback. If you have photos that show these missions, I would
consider adding them to the albums.
Some albums have the photos from newest to oldest and some are arranged oldest to newest. Not sure which way look better!

Good morning Jack and Crazy Uncle...
Thank you for those comments.
Being retired sure makes room for hobby projects!
However, I do have my hands full at home, still.
Jack, it is great to see you here... Your photos help tell the story of the missions' condition as it was 23 or so years ago.
I also made a page just for your mission photos: https://vivabaja.com/jackswordsmissions/
