New at VivaBaja.com
Another link to assist the Baja Internet explorers has been added!
Those interested in the wonderful history of (Baja) California know the important roll the padre's EL CAMINO REAL played on the peninsula. I have a
web page called 'Finding El Camino Real in Baja' where using the Baja Almanac one can locate the camino's route. Also, in that site I have included
the unpublished maps drawn by Howard Gulick in the 1950's.
Twenty years later, Harry Crosby used Howard's maps when he traveled the old camino to write his book 'The King's Highway in Baja California'. Harry
had new maps made with greater detail... Those maps (and some Camino Real photos too) can now be viewed and are linked on my home page just below the
Finding El Camino Real link. Here is what is on my home page now... ( http://vivabaja.com )
Let the exploring begin!
