	Father Junipero Serra, Baja California
		Maybe the father had a necessary supply of bunkum in his soul, something appropriate to other salesmen that were to appear in Alta California over the next two-and-a-half centuries.
		It may have had to do with the fact that if he were to report honestly on the barrenness of the countryside, it would be the end of any and all further exploration or interest from the Spanish Crown.
		For that reason, Serra's descriptions of the "Gentiles" is especially piquant --- for his visit would mark the last time they would be so free and alive, so free of the European curse.
