There was once a cross at this site, but it is now gone. The commemorative marker reads: Portolá-Crespi Monument In the winter of 1769, the Spanish expedition in search of Monterey Bay, under the command of Don Gaspar de Portolá and Father Juan Crespi, erected a cross on or near this site and left the following message: “The land expedition is returning to San Diego for lack of provisions today, December 9, 1769.” This monument was dedicated December 9, 1969, by the Citizens of Monterey in honor of our 200th birthday.
