GUESS WHERE IN BAJA II (back by popular demand)


You guys did really well... but I did manage to stump you with the Punta Cono fish camp photo... and I was surprised at that!

TW (TMW) won the last round with 4 out of 12 and bajapedro was second with three good answers. Tom, let me know if you would like one of the books offered, for winning.

OK, round two... Guess Where in Baja (or just enjoy the photos)...


Be as exact with the location as you can... and spelling counts! There is a combo of easy ones and a few not-so-easy... some are a few years old, too! Hints will be added if needed.

When someone gets the answer, I will come back and add the name next to the photo # (and the winner's Nomad name).

1) SAN VICENTE (thebajarunner)


2) MISSION SANTA MARIA (bajapedro)


3) SAN JUAN DE LAS PULGAS (wiltonh)


4) CIELITO LINDO (Pacifico)


5) PUNTA SAN FRANCISQUITO (Pacifico)


6) CADAJE (AguaDulce)


7) SAN JUANICO aka 'Scorpion Bay' (AKgringo)


8) PUERTO SAN CARLOS (TMW)


9) MISSION SAN LUIS GONZAGA (TMW)


10) RANCHO LA PRESA AQUEDUCT (TMW)


11) SAN EVARISTO (AKgringo)


12) TROPIC OF CANCER (RnR)




SCORE CARD:
TMW: 3
AKgringo: 2
Pacifico: 2
bajapedro: 1
RnR: 1
AguaDulce: 1
wiltonh: 1
thebajarunner: 1




TMW is the winner (again)! Tom, u2u me which two books you want.

bajapedro: CORRECT

BajaBill74: Sorry, NOT correct... but it is a whale bone display, like at San Ignacio!

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

Ok, I inverted the letters in San Juanico, and is it Don Kay?

You guys are on fire!
AK, you have redeemed your spelling and get #7. Tom, you got it right, but after AK's correction.

No, Don Kay was Mike Younghusband's burro and many years after Graham's Journey with a Baja Burro.

Since the game is about location and not burro names, I can tell you Graham's burro in 1997 was 'MisiĆ³n'. His first burro, from his first book was Bonnie.

Tom, you got 8, 9, 10 (and 7, as well, but AK was first).

Nope, see earlier hint. Journey with a Baja Burro did not go through San Felipe.
