Guys, there is/was water close to the sea, at Gonzaga.
*Pozo de los Frailes is a short walk from Papa Fernandez' and was rumored to date back to the missionaries time there (building the warehouse, etc).
Didn't Consag write about water from an Indian dug well?
*Mezquitito is too far.
*Another spring is the Antelope Spring, along the cargo trail going west from the warehouse.
*Water also flows out of the ground, just west of Rancho Grande (Onyx/Soda Springs) but it may not be so tasty.

About Km. 120. Papa Fernandez' is Km. 143 (23 kms or 14 miles south).
From the caption under my 1974 photo there:
Agua del Mezquitito 29° 59.160’N, 114° 34.155’W

Aguaje Sagrado, the name and date palms are intriguing.
Consag + Sagrado = Consagrado. Puzzle solved, mission Santa Isabel  .
That's definitely where the gold is buried. Don't tell anyone.
Seriously though, I wonder if the word consagrado explains the hispanisized spelling of his name.

The rancheria was named Cagnajuet, 70 miles north of Calamajué. [this story is on page 112 of my book]. On page 363 of Clavigero: 70 miles (no
leagues given). However, a league is generally 2-3 miles, in Spanish California. I believe Crosby says 2.5 miles.

Thanks David, I should have thought to check your book chapter on Calamajue first.
