the next "where is it?"


hint: it wasn't the second choice for the set of "close encounters of the third kind".

Beautiful photo... a mission was nearby, only rubble and some graves and tombs remain... I know where, but will let others play.

Oh, Graham Mackintosh's burro 'Mision' lives there now...:biggrin:

I Know, I Know


Obviously, I know the location. In fact several years ago I stumped David K. with a historic photo of the site, which is now on David K.'s mission web site. The photo that Jack Swords posted actually shows the second and last site of the mission. Here is a hint. There is also a mission by the same name in California.
