Okay, other than Baja Cat, nobody came forward to take a guess... It is a tough one, because almost no other photos of it exist aside from the ones
taken by Kevin that I have posted on Nomad!
These are the ruins of SAN ISIDORO on the trail to Mision San Pedro Martir...

Those who read Graham Mackintosh's second book ('Journey With a Baja Burro') may recall that Graham camped here while rains delayed his quest to climb
up to Mision San Pedro Martir...

Graham could not find the trail after several attempts, so he and Mision the burro continued south...
Another photo at San Isidoro...

Another one to guess an answer... 3 answers!
This will be trickier, because I took this photo over 33 years ago... the mission no longer has as much standing...
Name the mission, the founding Father, and what was unique about it (compared to all the other Baja missions)?

I'll take a stab. I can't be sure because it is much more erroded today, but is it San Fernando, the first and only Franciscan mission in Baja? If so,
then Father Serra would be the Jefe Superior. What was the only Visita they founded in Baja?

CORRECT!
It was a mission, not 'just' a visita... and the Franciscans are credited with the visita of La Presentacion, south of San Javier. I need to do some
reading of any other Franciscan established sites in Baja... Thanks!
Here's a photo taken at San Fernando on Dec. 31, 2004...

In February, 1778, the Jesuits were removed from the peninsula (and all of New Spain) and returned to Europe.
The Franciscans replaced them on the peninsula, led by Fr. Junipero Serra.
The missions of Dolores and San Luis Gonzaga were closed by the Spanish representitive and the Indians forced to relocate to Mision Pilar de la Paz,
at Todos Santos. Serra concentrated on advancing into Alta California taking with him people and possesions from the failing Baja missions. Fr.
Francisco Palou was put in charge of the Baja mission system, but the Franciscans made a 'deal' with the Dominican Order... and after only 5 years in
Baja, gave the peninsula to them.
While there, the Franciscans founded but one mission, San Fernando Velicat� in 1769 and closed Santa Mar�a de los Angeles as a mission but it remained
as a visita of San Fernando for several years. A visita was a mission-like location, but did not have a resident priest.
The Franciscans are credited with building the adobe at Santa Maria as well as adobe buildings at San Borja and the stone visita at La Presentaci�n.
