Yes and Yes.
That is Mike McMahan who found a torpedo on Malarrimo Beach. He created the Baja wall maps of the late 1960s to the 1990s and wrote There It Is: Baja!
in 1973. It was republished in 1983 under the new title, My Adventures in Baja.

OK, no players since Pacifico guessed correctly #1 & #6.
HINTS and then the answers, soon...
#2 Photo was taken by Alejandra de Baja on an island in the gulf.
#3 Photo from ~17 years ago, near La Paz by a mine.
#4 A famous schoolhouse but taken from above. [El Mármol, answered by Larry]
#5 An old mine from around WWII.

The final answers:
#2 is Isla San José and the animal is a babisuri (ring-tailed cat).
#3 is near San Juan de la Costa and was called The Glowing Green Man.
#5 is the sulfur mine, 22 miles south of San Felipe on the Old Puertecitos Road.

Crap, I've been to 4 & 5 but they didn't register when I saw them. When I went to the sulfur mine I was wearing sandals and shortly after that
trip I had to take a flight for work. I always wore sandals flying to make it easier to remove the shoes for the inspection and they just happened to
have a new piece of equipment they were training on, an explosives detector which they sent my sandals through. Ding, ding, ding the red lights came
on. I explained where I'd been recently and fortunately it's small airport and I knew both the armed officer and the TSA inspector so I was able to
board without any further delay.

Yes, as sulfur is a major ingredient in gunpowder. I remember you posting the story here.
