A brief stop at Mission San Antonio de Padua in Jolon — California’s second mission — during my trip up to Escondido Campground in our latest Off The Beaten Track YouTube. Link to video in bio.
I’m also wearing one of our fabulous t-shirts, not that you can really tell. Merch store also linked in bio. :)
