The picture with the deer (3) is at San Francisquito.
The ore car (5) is at LA Bay.
The BLDG (6) is near the coast at Camalu.

TMW - 4-30-2018 at 03:08 PM

#2 is at Bahia Tortugas.

TMW - 4-30-2018 at 03:11 PM

#1 is the road from Hwy 1 at KM252 going west, south of Chapala.

Rossman - 4-30-2018 at 03:28 PM

1 Along the dreaded 23 mile stretch on Mex 5

2. Casa Shari

3. Cocos

4.No clue

5. Guessing El Arco.

6.Mex 1 between Punta Prieta and Rosarito. I believe north of the Rosaliita cutoff.

Thank you for playing. You have two correct!!!

#2 CORRECT: La Bufadora Inn, Bahía Asunción, Shari's morning view!
#6 CORRECT: La Bachata ruins, south of Punta Prieta just before the steep grade up. That triangle window is quite unusual.

You are correct with #5... but can you be more specific as to where in L.A. Bay?

Your guesses for #1 and #2 are not correct. See Rossman's answers.

Great guesses Tom!

Yes, however, Rossman beat you to it! Try some of the others unanswered (3).

Damnit, that is NOT a deer, it's either an American Antelabbit or a desert Jackalope; get yer facts straight, people!

The difference is, an Antelabbit is a cross between a male jackrabbit and a female antelope..... but somebody's got to put him up to it. The Jackalope is a cross between a female antelope and a male jack, but ..... he's gotta stoop pretty low for that.

LOL, I know you know where it is, so thanks for letting others play!

Still waiting on #1, #3, and #4.
Also, a more exact for the L.A. Bay location that TW provided.

OCEANUS - 4-30-2018 at 07:09 PM

More exact #5 - Ore cart in front of the Museum in LA Bay

#3 - Mama Espinosas or the restaurant next to the Pemex in Santo Tomas?

#1 - Along the new Mex 5 road (Cocos corner diversion route)?

advrider - 4-30-2018 at 07:13 PM

#4 comes with an awesome view and cold beer!

Correct on #5, adding more to TMW's earlier answer.

#1 is not along any part of Hwy. 5.

#3 is not in El Rosario or El Palomar in Santo Tomás, but good guesses.

Yes, and lots of hospitality, in my opinion.

A deer? That's a jackalope! Come on!!!!! :-)

David K - 4-30-2018 at 07:46 PM

Take it easy on Tom... they don't see many jackalopes in Bakersfield! :light:

The antlers make it Bambi's love child. An antelope hybrid would have horns!

Now back to the geography quiz. The only one I recognized was the view of the bay and sea lion island from La Bufadora.

Hello. New member here.
#3-Cowpatty near Purtecitos

Welcome aboard!!!
I look forward to reading your trip reports!

You are correct about #4 being Pancho's at Bahía San Rafael.

#3 is not along Hwy. 5 or even close... but great guess.
A hint: it is indeed a location that serves alcohol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1 hint: That is a volcano in the distance and a mission is nearby!

#4 Rice and Beans?

bajabuddha - 5-1-2018 at 07:56 AM

Here's a hint on #3.... think of a hair-lipped dawg. "MARK! MARK!" :cool:

AKgringo - 5-1-2018 at 08:18 AM

#4....Poncho's chair? I was just there a month ago, and didn't notice it! I wonder what else I have been missing?

I did not notice the horned critter either, but Buddha's hint makes me think it was at Mark and Olivia's restaurant, which I will defer naming to someone who has actually seen it. I must look around more!

#4 was already answered earlier by sherdoggie (Pancho's at Bahía San Rafael).

Thank you for playing!

#1 still awaits an answer!

#3

David K - 5-1-2018 at 09:32 AM

Some great guesses for #3, the jackalope head and other decorations do seem to indicate a tourist bar.

We have had guesses of (Punta) San Francisquito, Coco's Corner, El Palomar in Santo Tomás, Mama Espinoza's in El Rosario, and Cowpatty's near Puertecitos.

Big hints have been provided by bajabuddah and solved, short of the name, by AKgringo!

More photos at location #3:

Looks like Mark and Olivia’s Buenaventura. You ought to have pictures of Taco Tuesday.

Mexitron - 5-1-2018 at 08:27 PM

#1 road to San Borja?

CORRECT!!!
Specifically, north of San Borja. The volcano is listed on the AAA map as Volcán Santa Evita. This is a view looking south, towards the mission.

TMW - 5-2-2018 at 10:46 AM

Where is this picture taken from. It's in northern Baja.
south of Hwy 2.
East of Hwy 1.
West of Hwy 5.
North of Hwy 3.

I think I remember it because you have drive up part of it before you drop into the mission area?

David K - 5-2-2018 at 11:11 AM

The road stays to the west of it, but you might call it the slope? I enjoy the mix of boojum trees and cardón trees in that area.

A wild guess would be El Portezuelo de Jamau (Pole Line Road turned into Score race course) or perhaps another road down the Sierra Juarez slope in the region?

TMW - 5-2-2018 at 07:11 PM

Pretty good. Taken from top of the race summit by Bob Bower (BFG). Laguna Salada in the distance.

David K - 5-2-2018 at 09:26 PM

Cool! There are few such viewpoints with the dry lake in the distance... so that is why I guessed. You isolated the area as well... good hint!
