| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The Portolá Expedition of 1769 camped October 30 on a stream at the foot of Montara Mountain, which now blocked their way. Needing food badly, here the explorers found a plentiful supply of mussels. They named the camp “El Rincón de las Almejas.”
OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up! |
