  • An Employee-Owned Company
    An Employee-Owned Company October 31, 2019 Mr. Samuel Waisbord, PE Nasland Engineering 4740 Ruffner Street San Diego, CA 92111 Reference: El Camino Real Mission Bell Markers/Guide Posts along the Coastal Rail Trail - Gilman Drive Segment (RECON Number 9476) Dear Mr. Waisbord: This letter summarizes the history of the El Camino Real Mission Bells and evaluates their significance. This is in response to the City of San Diego’s comment requesting that the Historic Property Survey Report identify the historic El Camino Real Mission Bells and discuss their importance and any project impacts on the bells. Construction of the El Camino Real As the nineteenth century came to a close, American industrial expansion generated opportunities for certain economic classes to enjoy a leisure lifestyle. Earlier in the century American presidents declared certain federal lands to be national assets, setting them aside as national reservations (Hot Springs, Arkansas), or national parks (Yellowstone 1872, which was modeled on California’s Yosemite State Park). By the last decade of the century, four more national parks had been established (Sequoia, General Grant, and Yosemite in 1890, and Mount Rainier in 1899). Improved access to these lands by way of rail lines, and cross-country tickets, and outfitters supplying pack trains with all necessary supplies meant that these destinations were comfortably approached by the middle and upper classes. Travelers returned with stories of fantastic vistas, and the photographs to illustrate them, filtered through society, creating additional desire by other people to visit. At the same time numerous cities and counties subscribed to illustrative books written by professionals to boost the advantages of their jurisdiction to the outside world.
