Number 2 is on the road about half way to Timbabichi. Not sure why they painted the tree trunk blue like the shrine. The tree trunk had a nail in it and sap was oozing out as if it was crying.

Number 4 is on the south side of the road to Laguna San Ignacio. As I recall it was only a couple of miles toward San Ignacio.

Sorry I missed looking for that flying saucer when I was in the area! I see a need for a map to Baja's unusual and interesting geologic sites!

Nope.. but good guess... late afternoon photo with the sun behind me.

Correct cactus for the region (Baja norte)!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Yes, gueribo was also correct, but you guys know I like details and there are two different roads to the mission, each just over 21 miles long.

My guess is near Calamajue!



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

AK, not just near it but standing on the site... The rectangular form in the soil that I am at the corner of, is the mission (church)...
The rectangle is building #1 in this sketch from Ed Vernon's book:



All other names with Calamajué in it are named after this mission (operating from Oct 1766-May 1767) which was the first site for the mission that would become known as Santa María after it was relocated. The year-round flowing stream below has water too poisonous to grow crops, they would discover. When the location was visited earlier in 1766, heavy rains had diluted the mineral water enough so that it seemed fine.

More on the location in this article: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/calamaju...
