DAY 10 — Tuesday, Oct 2, 2012
Had a wonderful downhill walk through dense redwoods (not our giant ones) from Redwood Estate to Scott's Valley. Then for the last half (after Scott's Valley) the path was on old roads that paralleled the State 17. Santa Cruz greeted me with some pretty warm weather!
The mission, founded in1791 as the 12th, has a colorful and violent history--much too lengthy to even touch on here. The original mission stood where today's Holy Cross Catholic Church stands. In 1931, a Gladys Doyle proposed and funded a half-size replica of the original mission--see the pics below.
