'San Pablo'.
These adobe ruins were assumed to be 'Mision Dolores del Norte', by
INAH.

Pepper and the Erle Stanley Gardner party were the first outsiders to visit
nearby San Francisco de la Sierra (arriving by helicopter) in 1963.
Old walls in
the remote village were part of Dolores del Norte,
according to the residents
who were descendants of Spanish soldiers.
The Jesuit's highway linking the missions in Baja. This was
the route of travel before the automobile.
Excellent books on the old camino
include Harry Crosby's 1974 'Kings Highway in Baja California' and Arthur
North's 1910 'Camp and Camino in Lower California'.
