Summary A copy by Father Juan González Vizcaíno of Father Serra's diary account of his journey with the Portolá overland expedition, from Loreto to San Diego in Upper California between March 28 and June 30, 1769. After initial preparations in Puerto de la Paz with visitor general José de Gálvez, and the departure of those travelling to San Diego by ship on January 10, 1769, the overland portion of the expedition leaves Loreto on March 28, heading north through the Baja California peninsula towards San Diego, and opening up a land route which subsequently brought thousands of colonists to Upper California. Serra describes the missions they visit along the way, and comments on the conversions and customs of the Indians they encounter. He also includes his observations on the geography and terrain of the countryside. The diary ends on June 30, 1769, a day before the group actually enters San Diego.
