With a quick glance at your wonderful photos:
#6 - Sierra San Francisco. I don't recognize the cave pictographs from the Santa Marta side. So I'm guessing west side.
When: several centuries before my time, jajaja
#13 - Laguna Percebu - "Shell Island". Sierra San Pedro Martir & Picacho del Diablo in the distance, above the hood of the truck.
When: sometime after you bought your Tacoma...
#15 - southern Sierra de Juarez, "Pole Line Road"
When: post-WWII
#20 - Mikes Sky Ranch, northern Sierra San Pedro Martir
When: After a day of offroading?

I shouldn't take so long to type! Good work Bajazly.
#6 A second guess, if not in the Sierra de San Francisco, then perhaps closer to Santa Rosalia/Mulege? Sierra de Guadalupe maybe?

#1: Giant cardon cacti, so perhaps a few miles south of San Felipe at "Valle de los Gigantes"? Or somewhere in the desert, east of the Sierra San
Pedro Martir and west of the gulf.
#5: Looks like the plateau above could be the southern Sierra de Juarez or southern Sierra San Pedro Martir. But there is so much similar topography
and geology in Baja. Perhaps southeast of San Felipe in the Matomi area?

#19 looks like the north side of where the river hits the Sea of Cortez in Mulege.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Excellent guess!
Yes, that is El Patrón Cantina, our favorite place to eat in Mulegé... Sadly, it has only been open two of the four times Baja Angel & I were
there.

NO (different mountains, amazing cave, I wrote about it for Baja Bound)
Post back surgery:
Thanks for asking!
Surgery healing pain... Keeps me from doing much or driving at all. I don't mind if the results are an end of the sciatica ordeal!

# 4 -- Las Arrastras, (or something close to that name).
An old mill site adjacent to a bridge and located on the east side of Mex 5. In the first arroyo south of the new Coco's corner.
