| From the Guidebook: |
In 1769 the Portolá
expedition of 63 men and 200 horses and mules camped near
El Palo Alto, the tall tree. They had traveled from San
Diego in search of Monterey but discovered instead the
Bay of San Francisco. Finding the bay too large to go
around, and deciding that Monterey had been bypassed,
they ended the search and returned to San Diego.
