Looks just like it did when I went in 2003. I hiked the last mile though rather than drive through that nice wetland there.

Yah, the weather is mostly dry and that helps the adobe to last longer.

Hiking is not an option, as we are all not physically able to carry the camping gear, since we are spending a couple nights in there.

In 2003 (April), after our three vehicles arrived and set up camp, a Jeep club of about 20 vehicles came in during the night, camped in the palms east of the mission and were leaving the next day! We left ahead of them... didn't want to get stuck waiting for all 20 to climb the Widowmaker!

I am sure that road gets a lot of 4WD traffic... including that water crossing. Worth spending more time...

There is a lot of history in there... I have heard of many Indian sleeping circles, if one looks. I plan to find the west end of the Camino Real from the Gonzaga Bay side... maybe hike it to where my son and I turned back in Nov. 2003, coming from Gonzaga http://vivabaja.com/1103/page2.html ??
