Quick stab:
B2 Observatory
B3 the San Felipe Clam Man
B6 Percebu (I have a similar photo I took circa 2004)
The testing is thirsty work - I assume I get bonus points?

YES... Jim got China (Chee-nah) and Cataviña painted cave named and BK agreed plus correctly answered the others, both L.A. Bay related (China's Taco Stand, and our friend Mike Humfreville who is buried at the L.A. Bay cemetery).

Nobody dared to say the name, "Pacifico"?

The old swimming pool/resort at Primer Agua on the way up to Cañon Misterioso...... great spots to hike just outside LTO. The wife brought home a piece of the pool.

Great job! Also down-arroyo, there's some fun slot canyons worth exploring.

Very cool! Can you be more specific about where this is and how to find it? Is it near the turn off to Puerto Escondido?

I found it. Turn off is at the power substation about 3 miles south of Loreto. The Primer Agua Oasis sign can be seen from street view. Follow the road up, ruins are on the side of the arroyo about 1.5 miles up.

Yes! The road to Primer Agua is next to an electrical substation, on Hwy 1, 4.07km south of the road to San Javier.


The road is scenic and with some steep grades.




When you get to the old guard shack and sign, turn left and follow the road to the parking area. 4x4 on this part of the road might be helpful.

Awesome! Thank you. I love abandoned stuff. I will check it out next time I'm in Loreto. Looks like there are some swimming holes up that arroyo as well.
