The new mission of Santa Maria first was at Calamajue, then after the climate dried, the heavily mineralized stream was less diluted and crops
failed... so the move was made. |

The care taker name is Jose and yes he his on the roof of San Borja mission, his son genaro was our guide to las Tinajitas site and the hot springs..,
the funny thing is they are a christian family, waching over a catholic church..

Since when are Catholics not Christians?

I think it goes like this: All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholic.
I think Jose may be Morman or Seventh Day Adventist?

So it's like all husbands are men but all men are not husbands? Or all Porches are cars but not all cars are Porches?
I think I get it.

Another Guess What Historic Site
This little known site was a visita or perhaps a way station on a mission trail... a trail that went over 5,000 feet above sea level!

Hint: It is often misspelled and the final letters of the name is the Spanish word for gold.

Santa Ana
Really good photo Jose! I didn't see the adobe wall/ building when I was there in 2003. We drove in on the (almost gone) road south then west from San
Borja... and out to San Ignacito and west to Rosarito.
Here is the rock covered grave next to the two you photographed, and my caption below:
The site of a mission visiting station, today Santa Ana is abandoned.
A large oasis is in the back ground.
This small graveyard is next to the seldom traveled road at 28°41.47'/ 113°41.35'.
Two large graves next to this one can be seen at: http://www.bajataco.com/Baja/Padres-at-Rest.html
