Mango, thanks to Jack (and Fred Metcalf's photo) we now can see that you photographed the El Horno ruin!
Sharks, there are some mistakes in that list... I don't have the time now, but later will correct...
Cypress, no photos showing! Thanks for trying! Email them to me if you want some help...
Have a great day gang!

See my Baja Missions web page, featuring photos from Jack Swords, Kevin in OK, academicanachist, Ed Vernon and I: http://www.vivabaja.com/bajamissions/
The years each mission operated are given. However, there is new research always making changes, so we keep an open mind!
Some of the mission names in that Google list are not correct, La Presentacion should be grouped with the Franciscan section (note the date, after the
Jesuits were expelled)... Santa Catarina is the name of the village today, but the mission was Santa Catalina...
OK, back to the Charger game now...

The years each mission operated are given. However, there is new research always making changes, so we keep an open mind!
Some of the mission names in that Google list are not correct, La Presentacion should be grouped with the Franciscan section (note the date, after the
Jesuits were expelled)... Santa Catarina is the name of the village today, but the mission was Santa Catalina...
OK, back to the Charger game now... |
Okay, the Chargers beat the Colts... again... so back to Baja history!
On a seperate thread on the Baja Historic Interest forum I made the following list, which gives the year a mission was founded (and the year when it
was abandoned)... year by year... along with the total # of missions open in that year:
Baja's Spanish Missions & Photos (the years each operated)
NOTE: this is a repost from June, 2004 to spawn new discussion on the fascinating history of Baja... the original California!
The Jesuits established 17 missions during their period in Baja California. The Franciscans just one at San Fernando Velicata. The Dominicans
established 9, however Dr. Jackson says the last two (Descanso and Guadalupe del Norte) were new locations for San Miguel mission, and not 'seperate'
missions.
The Franciscans and Dominicans did build at the Jesuit founded missions: Santa Maria's adobe church was built by the Franciscans. San Borja and Santa
Gertrudis stone churches were built by the Dominicans and the stone San Ignacio church was completed by the Dominicans.
As missions were established and abandoned the actual total number on the peninsula at any one time makes an interesting list.
I will use Ed Vernon's excellent book LAS MISIONES ANTIGUAS for dates. New missions will be all CAPS and just the short version of the mission name is
used. When the list shrinks, that year a mission was abandoned. Ligui was the first to be abandoned, in 1721. However, the inhabitants were moved that
year to the new mission of Dolores.
1697: LORETO
1699: SAN JAVIER, Loreto
1705: LIGUI, MULEGE, San Javier, Loreto
1708: COMONDU, Mulege, Ligui, San Javier, Loreto
1720: LA PURISIMA, LA PAZ, GUADALUPE (DEL SUR), Comondu, Mulege, Ligui, San Javier, Loreto
1721: DOLORES, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto
1724: SANTIAGO, Dolores, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto
1728: SAN IGNACIO, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto
1730: SAN JOSE DEL CABO, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto
1733: SANTA ROSA (Todos Santos), San Jose del Cabo, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier,
Loreto
1737: SAN LUIS GONZAGA, Santa Rosa, San Jose del Cabo, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, La Paz, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier,
Loreto
1748: La Paz mission was moved to Todos Santos and the two missions blended into one, called PILAR*. San José del Cabo abandoned as a mission,
remained as a visita of Santiago for the next 20 years. Total: 11 missions
* This is a simplistic answer for a much more complex situation at Todos Santos, possible fodder for a seperate article.
1752: SANTA GERTRUDIS (orig. to be called Dolores del Norte), San Luis Gonzaga, Pilar, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, Guadalupe,
Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto (12 missions)
1762: SAN BORJA, Santa Gertrudis, San Luis Gonzaga, Pilar, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La Purisima, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto
(13 missions)
1766: SANTA MARIA founded at CALAMAJUE but moved in 1767, San Borja, Santa Gertrudis, San Luis Gonzaga, Pilar, San Ignacio, Santiago, Dolores, La
Purisima, Guadalupe, Comondu, Mulege, San Javier, Loreto (Total 14 missions operating)
1768: JESUITS removed from the New World. Their 14 missions (that year) were reduced to 12 with the ordered closing of San Luis Gonzaga and Dolores by
the Spanish government. Only Ligui, Santa Rosa, and San José del Cabo had been abandoned during their period on Baja. The mission at San José del Cabo
was re-opened by the Franciscans in 1768. Total 13 missions.
1769: SAN FERNANDO was founded by the Franciscan Junipero Serra on his way to San Diego. Total net 14 missions.
1774: DOMINICANS take over from the Franciscans who expand into Alta California, and establish ROSARIO (15 on the peninsula this year)
1775: SANTO DOMINGO added and Santa María closed (15 total missions operating)
1780: SAN VICENTE (16)
1787: SAN MIGUEL (17)
1791: SANTO TOMAS (18)
1794: SAN PEDRO MARTIR (total 19 missions operating this year, the maximum in Baja California)
1795: Guadalupe del Sur and Santiago are abandoned (17 total)
1797: SANTA CATALINA founded (18 total)
1817: DESCANSO founded and San Javier abandoned (18 total)
1818: San Borja, San Fernando abandoned (16 total)
1822: La Purisima, Santa Gertrudis abandoned (14 total)
1824: San Pedro Martir abandoned ( 13 total )
1827: Comondu abandoned ( 12 total )
1828: Mulege abandoned ( 11 total )
1829: Loreto abandoned ( 10 total )
1832: Rosario abandoned ( 9 total )
1833: San Vicente, San Miguel abandoned (7 total)
1834: GUADALUPE (DEL NORTE) founded, Descanso abandoned. Remaining missions still operating this year: San Ignacio, San Jose del Cabo, Santo Domingo,
Santo Tomas, Santa Catarina, Pilar (Todos Santos) TOTAL in 1834: 7
Of interest, Guadalupe del Norte was the last California mission founded (Baja and Alta).
Note: Various authors have various dates for the missions' operation.
The last mission officially operating was Santo Tomas, until 1849. The others that were still open all closed in 1839 to 1840.

The mission road between Loreto and San Javier, which followed an Indian trail through Las Parras canyon, was widened by a work crew of nine soldiers
and some friendlyl Indians. They were directed by a captain from the Loreto presidio who had opened roads through the Barranca del Cobre on the
mainland, and accompanied by Padre Francisco Piccolo.
The path the workers widened, using crowbars, picks, axes and spades, skirted towering cliffs and descended into deep ravines. The surface was strewn
with so many sharp rocks that the men's shoes wore out and had to be resoled.
One day they came to a place where it was obvious that the project was going to take several months, far longeer than had been planned. Padre
Salvatierrs wrote that while the men in charge were trying to figure out what to do, "an Indian from Vigge came and said it was more practical to make
the road on the other side.
"Don Cristobal Guitierrez and soldier Melchor de Luna accompanied the Indian, and later in walking a little ways they found the other trail, and on
seeing it recognized the great advantage of opening the road through there in three days instead of three months."
Yes, Guitierrez and Luna "found the other trail" and "recognized the great advantage" of the alternate route. After if had been pointed out to them by
the Indian from Vigge.
Knowing nothing about road building, this man had watched the strangers at work, had visualized what they were trying to do, and was able to transfer
their project to a site he recognized as being more suitable.
As thought processes go, those of this unschooled engineer-without-portfolio were nothing short of amazing. So they rewarded him with baptism,
bestowing on him the name they considered fitting: "Angel."
For the problem he had solved was so difficult that no mere mortal could have achieved this on his own. Angel had obviously been sent to them by
Divine Intervention from on high. [Although it seems fair to ask: if this particular mortal had been blessed with white skin, blond hair and blue
eyes, would God have found it necessary to send an angel to help out?]
