Thanks Barry, Marc and paranewbi for the positive replies. Nice when one actually reads the post and doesn't just react because of who posted it.
Have a nice day, enjoy life, explore Baja, spend money there!

My claim to fame is (I think) the only person to take a camper in to the Mission several times.
Unfortunately, this claim is negated by by last trip when going through the "pond" the truck/camper leaned over and hit a palm tree with the camper
top, cracking the differential gear teeth so they blew up after reaching the Mission. This resulted in being towed up all the way by a Motorhome! Oh
the shame, the shame. Yep, it was Art's Class C Motorhome.
  
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

As noted inn other threads, the new Nomad softwear needs fixing to allow photos to be attached from your PC. In the meantime, as always, using a
remote photo site or links from other web sites works fine. Just set the max size at 800 pixals.
How to use one such site with the easy steps to post photos here is right here, in the first post: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=65085
If you don't want to do it, then send the photo to me and I am happy to post for you. info AT vivabaja.com to email it.

I sent Neal a u2u offering to post them here. In the meantime, at least two of them are from our 2010 expedition to Mission Santa Maria, and you can
enjoy the photos at this web site: http://vivabaja.com/msm2010/ and more on the Nomad Trip Reports from May/June 2010.

'CG' in his Dakota, being chased by the palms!
HB Murphy in his Tacoma escaping the wrath of the palms!
BajaTripper getting out alive!
I think one palm grabbed Art's wonder van!??

Looks like a menacing group of palms! Looks like somebody even tried to burn their way thru!

A very special place. I wonder if the mission would have been destroyed by now, if not so hard to reach.

Bad roads bring good people, and no roads may bring the best people?
There is damage (holes in the walls and in the floor) that date back before 1970, and much earlier... one is described by Arthur North who camped at
Santa María for a few days in 1906, in his 'Camp and Camino in Lower California' c1910.
For sure the lack of 2WD access the past 40 years reduced the number of treasure seekers, along with time and education that the padres were working
in poverty and had no gold and pearls to hide.
Another reason for Santa María to look better is the dry climate, just 10 miles west of Gonzaga Bay.
Here is a similar adobe church ruin, located east of Vizcaino (north of San Ignacio), that for lack of roads and dry climate, also looks little
changed over the past 100 or so years, the visita of San Pablo (typically mis-named Mission Dolores del Norte):
