These Missions are Possible

Westways Magazine featured three great travel books in the most recent issue: Saints of California, A Guide to Places and Their Patrons by Edward and Lorna Mornin, The California Missions: History, Art, and Perservation by Edna E. Kimbor and Julia G. Costello, and Yosemite & the Southern Sierra Nevada by David T. Page. They look like great sources for two of my dream vacations: walking from one mission to another and climbing Mount Whitney. Speaking of walks, an interesting tour in Poway is described on the same page of Westways. The Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center offers guided walks in the preserved site of an ancient Kumeyaay village on Saturday from 9 am to ll:30 am.
