Located just outside Lompoc is the Mission La Purisima Concepcion. The grounds on which the mission stands is now a California state park. While services are held at a number of the missions in the California chain, this does not appear to be the case at La Purisima. We did see livestock on the grounds - goats, sheep, mules, horses and an enormous bull - and the gardens are being maintained. We were the tiniest bit intimidated by signs entering the park that warned about poison oak and mountain lions... We're glad to report that we that didn't see any of either! There are many good websites with lots of information and pictures of all the California Missions. We're adding one to our list of favorite links if you'd like to do a little on-line exploring of your own.
