1. The narrative text shall be revised to read in its entirety as follows:
"GASPAR de PORTOLA
In 1769, Spain decided that its Alta California Territory
needed to be explored and .colonized. Spain was
concerned about incursions by England and Russia
along these shores. The Viceroy of Mexico appointed
Gaspar de Portola as Governor of the Californias and
Commander of a military expedition.to explore Alta
California and locate the Bay of Monterey in order to
establish a future settlement there. He also directed
Frey Junipero Serra and several other padres to join
the expedition in order to note potential Mission sites
with the intent to convert the natives to Christianity.
Frey Serra stayed behind in San Diego and sent two of
his padres, Fr. Juan Crespi and Fr. Francisco Gomez; to
accompany Portola, to explore the way and acquaint
themselves with the natives. About four miles to the east
of this spot, Portola and his expedition crossed the San
Juan Creek and what someday would be the Ortega
Highway and encamped under the oaks. There, he sent
Sergeant Jose Francisco de Ortega, his scout, ahead to
search this area for the safest route northward and
assess the native population. It is believed that Ortega
was the first European to view the Capistrano Valley
where eventually the Mission San Juan Capistrano would
be established. From here Portola led his party
all the. way to San Francisco Bay."
