A visit from Vizcaino to Santa Gertrudis and back would be a good day expedition....

Thank you Ralph.
Here is a translation, with corrected spelling of the mission. The posted century range is wrong (18th-19th, not 16th-19th), perhaps a typo, like the
mission spelling?:
Heavy rains caused by Hurricane Odile in September 2014 have exposed an ancient aqueduct, recently found 80 kilometers northeast of Guerrero
Negro.
The ruins, with a length of approximately 800 meters long, were found in the vicinity of the Jesuit mission of Santa Gertrudis, and presumably was
used, perhaps during the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, to irrigate farmland.
The building, possibly built the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) during their stay in the peninsula, was uncovered by heavy rains last year, according to
information published by Evaristo Murillo.
Although it is unknown what exactly is the age, the makers of the work, the involvement of specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and
History (INAH), who assessed the findings are expected.

You can always send them your corrections. Maybe without your comment though...since either you are wrong or there is a typo (16th-19th )

Even though we live only 70 miles from Vizcaino, we Have considered staying at the hotel and taking the quads out to the mission. As you say...good
day expedition.

No....it is on the road west out of town....check their website for ubicacion (Location)....a map is provided.
I have stayed at the one across from the north Pemex a few years ago and it was good.

The hotel across from the PEMEX north end of town is the Olivia. We stayed there on our trip a couple of weeks ago. 2nd floor rooms better than 1st
floor. Bigger rooms and better shower stall.
