David I wonder why INAH only cares for some Missions and not others, like San Vicente Ferrer(1780-1849) it gets alot of attention and funds.Some day
somebody it's going to plow over some of this unsigned mission ruins. |
I have no idea why that is, José... Really sad that some kind of protection or at least a sign to notify people what that pile of adobe is... INAH
must have very limited funds and pick their projects based on local demand or other reasons?
They made such a big deal about how they were going to stabilize Mision Santa Maria, last year... They went in, put photos online, and did NOTHING!
However, they have done some to good work at several missions in Baja Norte... Here's what I have observed:
They have built a roof over the site of Mision Descanso, even though only the floor tiles remain... walls all gone.
Nothing much other than what locals have done at Mision San Miguel (in La Mision) for the small parts of a couple walls there.
Only a foundation at Guadalupe del Norte.
Nothing, not even a sign at the site and tiny bit of a tower at Mision Santa Catalina (in Santa Catarina).
Nothing, not even a sign at the three Santo Tomas sites.
Major wall preservation, walks, signs at San Vicente!
Just some corral walls and foundation remains at this hardest to reach mission of San Pedro Martir, 5,000' above sea level!
Major wall preservation, walks, signs at Mision Santo Domingo!
Major wall preservation, walks, signs at both El Rosario mission sites!
Some walkway, fence, sign at San Fernando... walls disappearing fast.
NOTHING at Mision Santa Maria
Huge roof over the older adobe ruins at San Borja and building restoration of the stone church at San Borja.
Building restoration of the stone church at Santa Gertrudis.
