Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. "Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?" "Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"

I moved to SJB (from Salinas) on Thanksgiving Day 2003 and LOVE living there. I am an English instructor at Hartnell Community College in Salinas but have always had a passion for California history. I would like to become involved in the SJB Historical Society and perhaps take one of Dr. Mendoza's archaeology classes at CSUMB. I have just discovered this enlightening resource and want to explore it further!

The Director of the CSU Monterey Bay Institute for Archaeology has just completed a Ground Penetrating Radar probe of two early California Mission sites. Both San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo and San Juan Bautista were probed during the week of June 30th, 2003 by Professor Mendoza and Matthew Turner of GeoModel, Inc., a GPR company based in Leesburg, Virginia. ASTV project assistant Rob Lecel, and project volunteer Harvey Sandoval, both contributed immensely to those efforts necessary for preparing the areas for the GPR survey in question. Our prime objectives included the search for the original Mission era wine cellars of both Carmel and San Juan Bautista; as well as the remains of the Lost Convento complex at San Juan Bautista. Watch this site for future postings of the results of the survey as they become available.

We plan a ribbon cutting and photo session about 3 at the Museum at 3rd and Monterey.

Dear Dr. Mendoza, We had to do our mission in something other than legos. My teacher didn't want the legos. I don't know why. That's okay though. We decided to build the mission with styrofom. It looks good.It took us 7 hours. My favorit part was putting in the cemetary and the jail.We took the inside of some cardboard and painted it red for the roof. Mom wanted to by a kit but Iwouldn't let her! I hope you like the pictures.Thanks for all of the help. Hope the digging is going well. Your friend, Steven Lenoir
