| What is it? | One of the camp sites along Don Gaspar de Portolá’s expedition route from Mexico to Monterey! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The Portolá Expedition of 1769 camped on the south bank of Purísima Creek on October 27. The Indian village on the north bank of the creek was named “Las Pulgas” by the army engineer with the party because the soldiers who occupied some abandoned Indian huts became covered with fleas.
OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up! |
