Patient is not dead, is just suffering from a viral infection, in the age of disinformation.

Very cool cemetery! Location? No need for GPS, just a name or general area... Thanks

Looks like somewhere South of Loreto.

Near El Primer Bosque on the San Evaristo to CC route?

There's an interesting church at La Soledad, in that area...

Cemetery at Rancho Los Paredes.

maybe someone can help with this one - somewhere between San Juan de la Costa and San Evaristo is this small cemetery. But I can not remember the location. Looking at the images data it was 1.5 hours south of San Evaristo

looking at the mountains in the back, it seems like around 24°48'32.74"N, 110°40'6.11"W - but I can't see anything on GE

Is that the one in the op or a different one?

Yea the last pix doesn't match the first one.

There is a Rancho Las Paredes south and west of San Juan de la Costa on page 20 of the almanac.

Las Paredes cemetery 24°49'45.65"N, 110°48'30.12"W
very beautiful Rancho

yes, first image was Las Paredes cemetery

then I asked for help to locate another cemetery in the area
I had taken pictures 5 years ago, but didn't mark the location on GPS
the time stamps on the pictures put it somewhere south of San Evaristo

I found it using the view of the mountains in the background
there are ruins of a rancho close by - La Mojonera

Went to the grave yard in BOLA once. Mind blowing that anyone could actually dig a grave in all that alluvial material. Nothing but boulder upon boulder "cemented" with hard sand in between.

i have wondered aloud about why cremation is not more widely used in Mexico.
nearly all locals i have discussed it with are seriously spooked about it, and express all manner of superstitious thoughts.

It takes them a while to dig a grave if a backhoe is not available.

It is indeed a difficult place to dig a grave.
Here is the grave of our late amigo and Baja Nomad, Mike Humfreville, just days following his death in November 2006, at L.A. Bay's cemetery:
