Springfield,
..... At the base of the Pyrenees is the small and very famous town of Rennes-le-Château. Should ring a bell.
What I was trying to point out to everyone here is this: We must think just like Father Kino once thought and open up our minds to understand why he had given certain places names he had chosen. Father Kino left us so many clues to help us figure out why he was here. Look at his maps and comments found on these maps, ie: Notes Relating to Father Kino’s Maps of Pimeria Alta
Passage Par Terre A La Californie 1702, Kino Map
French phrase found on upper right hand area beneath Casa Grande left of San Fernando (named by Bernal) at Gila and San Pedro River confluence; ou de la filasse (French) = or of the oakum = old tar rope (ships rigging recycled by hand to caulk wooden ships.). Another secret; find out what the dimensions of each map equals to. ....

Are you making a connection between Kino's work and the alleged Sauniere discoveries in France?
A nautical reference on the Gila River? Why would this be remarkable? The river's connection to the sea was old news in Kino's day.
