No more guesses? Some additional hints...


#1 is not in Baja California Sur, but close! A major dirt road with a couple of inland resorts enjoyed motorcycle riders on or near it.

#2 can be guessed by the answer to #3. There is a canyon in the distance that contains a mission period structure.

#5 The furthest west peninsula outhouse in one state. A couple of islands are nearby, one surfers like and the other has a salt hill.

#6 The kilometer sign is not on Highway 1, at least what we think of as Highway 1. Here I am driving west. The km distance is from Vizcaino.

Close... you can go a bit further by road, however... Where is this outhouse?

Because we need to be specific as there are lots of roads south of L.A. Bay... It was not on the road south from BDLA, but on the road east from El Arco. Thank you for playing the game!

Exactly correct... past Punta Eugenia is Punta Falsa and an abandoned campo with palapas and this outhouse, in ruins.
