Thanks to Russ and Baja Blanca for their additions!
How about it Nomads... do you have a kilometer marker note that could go on this list?

Not that it isn't fun... I didn't think of this post as a photo posting one, but as a list of the markers with where they are or what is there.

OUCH, Mike. "Look honey, the moons are up early this evening."
I also have an airport series but I'll save those for another thread since DK "suggested" meaningful information at particular markers. Besides, you'd recognize the ICAO ID's.
And, yes, I like to have some fun while driving the peninsula. It's a looooong drive if you can't have some fun.

I have to be careful on hwy 1 from San Quintin south to the LA Bay turn off because they re-did the KM markers to, I assume, reflect the road around
the Santa Maria area where the Santa Maria hotel is. This was a few years ago. I think you have it right above since KM103 use to be KM99 for the turn
off for San Juan de Dios.

Yes, many guidebooks still have the wrong figures... it was changed by 2-4 km. over 10 years ago. Some guidebooks as recent as 2006 still have not
been fixed.
Baja Cactus is 'legally' at Km. 55, but across from the Km. 57 marker.
The Punta San Carlos road was at Km. 77+ but now is at Km. 80-81.

DK your right.
It was several years ago around 1995 I was last to the Onyx mine at San Talmo. There was a friendly guy there about mid to late 30s and he was working
it and let my brother and I look around all we wanted. If I remember correctly he said his dad was working it with him.

Very cool... I have not been down that road or to the La Bocana site that is off it, closer to Hwy. 1 on the way to San Telmo (as it is spelled on the
maps). Are there any springs around the area like at El Volcan?

Not that I remember, but it's been a long time. I would like to go back there. The 1985 Baja 1000 went right by there and up a hill. We rode MCs there
in 1987. When we were there in 1995 the road up he hill was in really bad shape from rains.

A number of years ago I used to frequently see the old embossed cement KM markers knocked over and abandoned. I really wanted to take one back north
with me, but I always thought US Customs would hassle me about it. I'd still like to have one.
