The expedition landed there ... in October 1683. A few miles inland ... a camp was established; A strategic hilltop position was selected for the construction of a small structure of stone rubble that has been described as a mission/fort; Exploration was not continued because of difficulties in obtaining supplies, the shortage of water, and problems making the site self-sustaining. San Bruno was abandoned late in May 1685)
found: Wikipedia, Sept. 13, 2017:English page (Misión San Bruno; The short-lived Jesuit mission of San Bruno was established in 1684 on the Baja California Peninsula near the Gulf of California, in colonial Mexico of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The Mission was located at 26°13ʹ57ʺN 111°23ʹ53ʺW. The location of this mission should not be confused with the location of the present day town of San Bruno which is located about 110 kilometres (68 mi) to the north. The site is about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of the later site of the town of Loreto, in present-day Loreto Municipality, Baja California Sur state, Mexico. In 1683, the Spanish admiral Isidro de Atondo y Antillón and the Jesuit missionary Eusebio Francisco Kino were forced to abandon an attempted settlement and mission at La Paz because of hostilities with the native Pericúes and Guaycura. In 1684, they moved north to the central portion of the peninsula, and selected a site for a settlement at the Cochimí settlement of Teupnon, near the mouth of a substantial arroyo about 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of the present day city of Loreto. The date was October 7, 1684, the Feast of San Bruno. Mission work was begun with about 400 local Cochimi Indians and exploratory expeditions into the surrounding region were undertaken, including the first land crossing of the Baja California Peninsula by Europeans. However, shortages of water and imported food supplies and problems of illness forced the abandonment of San Bruno in May 1685, leaving Baja California again entirely in native hands until the first permanent Jesuit mission was established at Misión de Nuestra Señora de Loreto Conchó in 1697. The San Bruno experience is documented in the letters and reports of Atondo, Kino, and other participants. A few crumbling walls of the uncompleted mission and fortress are all that remain of the San Bruno Mission) Spanish page (Misión de San Bruno; founded in autumn 1683; abandoned in 1685)

The Baja book II, c1979:page 168 (Mision Guadalupe de San Bruno; In 1683, Jesuit padres Copart, Kino, and Gomi made the first of several unsuccessful attempts to establish this mission. Evidence of one of their efforts may supposedly be found on the shores of Bahia San Bruno, 13 miles north of Loreto)
