1: (answered by geoffff: Km. 105 south of San Quintín):

Making this a Guess Where in Baja is a bit silly, right? There are many places with the same kilometer markers, as there are different highways or in the case of Highway 1, about 8 separate kilometer sections. Also, just because it says Mexico #1, doesn't make it so! LOL

2: (answered by advrider: Observatory Road)

3: (answered by geoffff: just south of Bahía Concepción, 71 kms north of Loreto)

4: (answered by RnR: L.A. Bay junction/ Parador Punta Prieta)

5: (answered by RnR: San Quintín area)

6: (answered by TMW: Los Martires/ San Juan de Dios access road)

7: (answered by RnR: El Rosario)

8: (answered by geoffff: Bahía Tortugas road at Bahía Asunción junction):

9 (answered by geoffff: Km. 5 north of San Juanico):

10: (answered by RnR: North from La Paz)

100% Correct!
El Cien (The 100) is northbound from La Paz, 92 kilometers from the Dove of Peace or Whale Tail monument (which is at Km. 8).

Boy, you guys are good guessers!

David K - 5-5-2021 at 03:26 PM

These are all major roads in Baja... Everyone here should know! ;)

Time for hints, yet?

#6 is the turn off to R. Los Martires, El Sauzalito and points north. Often used by SCORE as part of the Baja 1000 race.

TMW - 5-5-2021 at 04:43 PM

#3 coming back from Mission San Javier looking toward Loreto.

Sorry, no... note the kilometer marker for distance from Loreto (hint).

David K - 5-6-2021 at 08:16 AM

OK, hints:

#1 NOT in Baja Sur, 105 kms from a bay with an old mill.

#3 NOT in Baja Norte, driving north from the first successful mission.

#8 NOT on Highway 1. At a junction of paved roads to fishing towns.

#9 A popular surf 'bay' with a name that 'stings' is 3 miles away.

#1: OK, a wild guess: somewhere on the new Ensenada bypass road north of Ensenada?

geoffff - 5-6-2021 at 11:48 AM

In Baja all highways get to be #1

"emergency beacons" ended up on the wrong "where am I" post, should have been on geofff's.
