[Gocamino] Re: California missions

[Roger Rhoades]

Grant,
This past June my wife and I visited the "mission" in Santa Barbara and 
enjoyed reading the history of how these
missions originated and were planned / built up along the California coast 
by early spanish/mexico, all being a days walk from each other.
