GUESS WHERE IN BAJA II (back by popular demand)

David K - 5-17-2020 at 04:35 PM

You guys did really well... but I did manage to stump you with the Punta Cono fish camp photo... and I was surprised at that!

TW (TMW) won the last round with 4 out of 12 and bajapedro was second with three good answers. Tom, let me know if you would like one of the books offered, for winning.

OK, round two... Guess Where in Baja (or just enjoy the photos)...


Be as exact with the location as you can... and spelling counts! There is a combo of easy ones and a few not-so-easy... some are a few years old, too! Hints will be added if needed.

When someone gets the answer, I will come back and add the name next to the photo # (and the winner's Nomad name).

1) SAN VICENTE (thebajarunner)


2) MISSION SANTA MARIA (bajapedro)


3) SAN JUAN DE LAS PULGAS (wiltonh)


4) CIELITO LINDO (Pacifico)


5) PUNTA SAN FRANCISQUITO (Pacifico)


6) CADAJE (AguaDulce)


7) SAN JUANICO aka 'Scorpion Bay' (AKgringo)


8) PUERTO SAN CARLOS (TMW)


9) MISSION SAN LUIS GONZAGA (TMW)


10) RANCHO LA PRESA AQUEDUCT (TMW)


11) SAN EVARISTO (AKgringo)


12) TROPIC OF CANCER (RnR)




SCORE CARD:
TMW: 3
AKgringo: 2
Pacifico: 2
bajapedro: 1
RnR: 1
AguaDulce: 1
wiltonh: 1
thebajarunner: 1



TMW is the winner (again)! Tom, u2u me which two books you want.

David K - 5-17-2020 at 05:36 PM

bajapedro: CORRECT

BajaBill74: Sorry, NOT correct... but it is a whale bone display, like at San Ignacio!

AKgringo - 5-17-2020 at 05:40 PM

#11...San Evaristo, #7....San Jaunico, #4....Graham and Donkay, but I don't have a clue where!

Ok, I inverted the letters in San Juanico, and is it Don Kay?

TMW - 5-17-2020 at 07:06 PM

#8 entrance to Puerto San Carlos

#7 San Juanico

TMW - 5-17-2020 at 07:18 PM

#9 Mission San Luis Gonzaga

TMW - 5-17-2020 at 07:25 PM

#10 The aqueduct near Rancho La Presa, Baja Sur.

David K - 5-17-2020 at 07:49 PM

You guys are on fire!
AK, you have redeemed your spelling and get #7. Tom, you got it right, but after AK's correction.

No, Don Kay was Mike Younghusband's burro and many years after Graham's Journey with a Baja Burro.

Since the game is about location and not burro names, I can tell you Graham's burro in 1997 was 'Misión'. His first burro, from his first book was Bonnie.

Tom, you got 8, 9, 10 (and 7, as well, but AK was first).

Nope, see earlier hint. Journey with a Baja Burro did not go through San Felipe.

#12 is the new monument at the Tropic of Cancer on Highway 1

Oops, looks like RnR beat me to it.

Very good, thank you. Waiting for things to clear up to head south.

"La Bocana" or simply Bocana is what Mr. Gomez called it
We call it Punta Santo Tomas

#3 From Google Earth

Latitude: 31°25'2.96"N

Longitude: 116°30'12.50"W

David K - 5-18-2020 at 04:52 PM

Hi guys, I am back home from our day trip...

I got a u2u around 1:30 with the answer, or at least a nearby point for #3.
thebajarunner next posted a nearby place.
wiltonh was spot on with exact location.

In a way, all three had the location but wiltonh went the extra meter with GPS and the name I was looking for (Las Pulgas) that we had used in the past for this exotic site.

Due to the details and accuracy, the point goes to wiltonh.

Still more sites to ID!

Did you see my hints? #1 is across from the community plaza, in a mission town, west side of Hwy. 1, and a Nomad lives nearby...

4. Cielito Lindo ???

5. San Francisquito
