GUESS WHERE IN BAJA (or just look at some photos)

Don't we really want more Baja in these times when we can't go to Baja??? Yes, I know we have Nomads who live in Baja or still went during the pandemic...

So, we have played this photo guessing game before and I think it has been enjoyed? Use the photo numbers with your answer (1-12).
When answered, I will add the location next to the photo number above the photo. If no guesses or wrong guesses, I will add hints.

The winner can get a free book (U.S. address only), if you want one. Your choice of: In the Shadow of the Volcano, by Mike Humfreville; Portrait of Paloma, by Harry Crosby; or Guacamole Dip, by Daniel Reveles. Photos of the books are at www.oldmissions.com

Be as exact with the location as you can... and spelling counts!

1) RANCHO SANTA YNEZ (bajapedro)


2) EL MARMOL (bajarich)


3) SAN PEDRO MARTIR MUSEUM KM. 91.5+ (thebajarunner)


4) PUNTA CONO (nobody guessed correctly)


5) MOTEL at SANTA ROSALILLITA (TMW)


6) RANCHO MATOMI POOL/WATERFALL (bajapedro)


7) SAN IGNACITO 11 km. south of Santa Ynez/ Cataviña (TMW)


Originally:



8) GUERRERO NEGRO Fish Taco Truck (thebajarunner)


9) CAMPO RENE on Estero el Coyote (TMW)


10) SHELL ISLAND and Estero or Laguna Percebu (bajapedro)


11) PLAYA EL COYOTE (Pacifico)


12) MISSION CALAMAJUE (TMW)



Clearly many were too easy! Well done Nomads!

TMW is the winner with 4 correct answers.
Let me know which book you would like, Tom!

3. Museum/gift shop (usually closed) in Parque Nacional San Martir 8. Taco truck stop with Curt Leduc (that should bring some brain dead folks to life long enough to snipe and then take cover)

You are correct on #3, it is the closed museum at Km. 91.5+ nearly 8,000 feet above sea level!

You are also correct about #8, that is Curt LeDuc with his back to me eating a taco... but WHERE is this?

8. According to your recent trip report it’s Guerrero Negro

Is that your final answer???

Yes!

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

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.

Well, let's end the game... as you have tried very hard!!!

PUNTA CONO is this location:
