Which missions have you been to, south of you?

On our trips, I can't believe how many we've come across!!

Isn't there even a mission near Olvera Street? And, we went to one between here and L.A., not Capistrano. We passed a lot of signs to missions....

Oh my, I've been to many of the missions, but mostly done in childhood trips. So, for most, it has been decades since I paid a visit. It's actually been a few years since I've walked around Mission Dolores in my own fair city!

That won't be this weekend's adventure. This weekend, I will be wallowing (I hope) at the San Francisco Public Library in the SF Historical Society Center oggling photos from the SF Call Bulletin collection for possible new/unusual photos of Valentino etc. (the collection is approximately 250,000 photographs) Hopefully the Valentino, Rambova and Acker files were not pillaged. I won't know until I see them, but I am hopeful for a few new images I've not seen before. Failing that, it is always fun to look. I will also be looking for a friend who is working on the Fatty Arbuckle trials, there should be plenty of photographs of that mess.

With my new interest in walking, I was wondering just how far "A days walk between missions" was. It looks like it ranges between 30 and 40 miles. Damn. That's a lot of walking in a day. I would have needed to pack a bed roll and a tent....

Has anyone here ever walked between missions?

Heh, I have not even walked to Mission Dolores (probably not more than 2 miles). I think I had better add that to the list of to-do items.
