I did that AFTER they were correctly guessed... lol

Two remain unanswered!

There is a tie between TMW and bajapedro with three answers each.

Gotta love that sparkling water around the most controversial palm tree in all of Baja. How badly decayed is the hot spring pool nearby???

More hints for #4 and #7 needed?

#4 is one of the Seven Sisters. In 2017, the camp was abandoned. I found the painted names above the hut unusual. This is south of Bahía Blanco and north of Santa Rosalillita. Name the point.

#7 is where the construction crews on the transpeninsular highway going north from La Paz and south from Ensenada met, in September 1973. The 'Golden Spike' point of the famous road! In less than three more months, the road was paved and opened at the new 140 ft. Eagle Monument, near Guerrero Negro. Name the spot (a restaurant is across the highway).

We still have a tie between Tomás and Pedro!

Indeed... That photo is not mine but it is sure attractive! I have not camped there and have not swam to the hot pool. I did try to find the Santispac hot spring/ mud bath... and didn't (but didn't try real hard)!

Here is my 2017 photo near the famous palm, no closer to being in the sea than it was 64 years earlier!:

Winner! San Ignacito is now a truck café... It was a restaurant but closed up for a time, now reopened. Km. 191.5, about 7 miles south of Cataviña.

Just one left, where in the Seven Sisters is that camp with the white painted rock names?

Thanks for playing, but too far south. This one is "one of the points"! I guess you would have to have been there to know it or read my TRIP #4 report from 2017? It is the point accessed at the end of the 31.0 mile 'fast dirt highway' that begins near Santa Rosalillita.

I´ve been driving that coast (7 sistas) for decades. I guess I´m not very observant:(.
