Mission Trails

[Lydia Banales]

Dear Bob and all,
My husband, Joseph, is actively walking between the Alta California
Missions. He has walked and mapped from San Gabriel to San Fernando to
Santa Barbara to Santa Ynez. Next stop is La Purisima near Lompoc. He
plans to have a display at the next pilgrim gathering in Santa Barbara
in March, '04. Whoever thought that the missions were spaced about a
day's walk apart must have had very long legs or been a super walker.
Anyone who would like to contact him, please write to josephabanales.net
