I know. BUT, especially if you are traveling to a foreign country wouldn't you
know where you are going?
At least they have enough guts to venture to the land of beheadings and theft, hmmm. Maybe that explains things?
Now if I can just remember where I left my teeth? Got to quit drinking before
noon. All intended to amuse.

Hazing is illegal. What's the point? The guy can't spell but we all know his intent. Ease up & share the love. Enjoy your adventure, Raghorn.

Maybe a history lesson is in order... How the town got it's name:
#4 Santa Rosalía de Mulegé (1705-1828)
Traveling north from Loreto in November of 1705, the Jesuit Padre Manuel de Basaldúa founded the mission of Santa Rosalía at the Cochimí settlement of
Mulegé. Santa Rosalía de Mulegé mission is located on a rare desert river, about 2 miles from the gulf coast. The mission and its farmlands were
nearly destroyed by flash floods in 1717, and again in 1770.
The stone church overlooks the river from a high ledge and was constructed in 1766. This was less than two years before the Jesuits were expelled from
the New World. Spain’s King Carlos III had been convinced that the Jesuits were amassing treasures and not paying the Crown its due. When inventoried,
the true nature of the mission’s poverty was confirmed, there were no treasures.
The Franciscans replaced the Jesuits in California in 1768. Fr. Francisco Palóu wrote that he considered having the mission moved following the 1770
flood. A proposed new location was a place called ‘Magdalena’. Magdalena is just 15 miles north of Mulegé and today building ruins, an aqueduct, and a
pila (reservoir) are seen, but no record of who built it is known. An old church about 5 miles further to the west, and close to the village of San
José de Magdalena, is sometimes referred to as a Dominican mission visita ruin.
Even though mission activities ceased in 1828, the church at Mulegé continued to serve the new Mexican population that replaced the vanishing Indian
population. Activities at the mission church continued to be documented through much of the mid to late 1800’s. Priests assigned to Mulegé often were
placed in charge of the other mission churches of the region (Loreto, Comondú, San Ignacio) as was noted in the government book of 1873.
Each of the Old (Baja) California missions has an interesting story and these short history notes may inspire further research and discovery. In the
book, ‘The Old Missions of Baja & Alta California, 1697-1834’, we hope to inspire both visits to the missions and further research. A reference
list of mission history books is included in the back.
