Dear Bob and all,<br>
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 <a href="josephabanales.net">josephabanales.net<br>

of Alta California (strung along El Camino Real) are spaced about right for
daily bicycle travel and the route was done (north to south) and reported
on a year or so ago. Walking is tougher, especially the southern half since
it goes right through the heaviest part of the metropolitan area of SoCal.
I have tried to envision a route in my area's section, San Juan Capistrano
to San Gabriel, but it is quite murky. The bicyclist wnho did it took a long
detour by way of the beach cities.

there and standing and active. God knows how you'd navigate the superhighways,
though!
