This one is correct: (4) Old jail at Las Flores south of LA Bay

#3 is not in San Borja mission.
#10 is Hwy. 5 but not between those two places.

The photo is of graves, covered with onyx pieces... yes, at El Mármol. Thanks for playing along, Jack! Be sure to join my Baja Missions Facebook group for lots of photos... even some of yours! https://www.facebook.com/groups/bajamissions/

Can you name the arroyo? A mission is on it just a few miles west.

Arroyo Santa Maria

And actually pretty close to the Pinos Pemex
which puts it much further north of Coco than I remember
I do remember driving by the bridge pilings while under construction

David K - 2-2-2021 at 09:33 AM

Correct! There is a roadside rest area and a fancy monument on the north side of the arroyo... which they are calling Las Arrastras.

David K - 2-2-2021 at 12:49 PM

Hints needed??

Incorrect Guesses were made for #3 & #10. #10 has been answered, So, #3 was guessed to be inside the San Borja mission church.

#3 is indeed inside a mission church, just not San Borja.

There are 7 other mission churches not in ruins:

Santa Gertrudis
San Ignacio
Mulegé
Comondú
Loreto
San Javier
and
San Luis Gonzaga.

The photo was taken in ONE of those!

The next hints:

Photos #2 and #6 are both in the state of Baja California and both at mining centers. The #2 photo was from 2005 and in 2017, a new ranch was on the site.

This should be easy!

David K - 2-4-2021 at 05:23 PM

Nomads, RnR has guessed three correctly. Others have each guessed one correctly.

Still not answered:

#2
#3
and
#6

HINTS were provided in the previous post.

DO you need more help?

#3

mission at Mulege

Mining related, eh? I do not recognize those places so will take a guess:
2: Smelter at San Fernando
6: Mill foundation at Agua Amarga
If no one guesses correctly please post the locations, thanks

Hi Ric, of course I will reveal the locations... eventually!

#2 is not San Fernando (copper mine)... I was only there once in 2000. Photos (a couple, not hi res) are on my website. However... a new hint is this photo is of another copper mine ruin and not that far away. A new ranch is on the site when I drove by in 2017. The photo was taken in 2005 during a Baja Nomad group day tour.

#6 is not Agua Amarga, but I do remember when there were ruins still there on my earlier trips to L.A. Bay. If it helps, #6 and one other of the ten photos were taken at the same place. :yes:

David K - 2-5-2021 at 05:42 PM

Well, I am satisfied I finally was able to stump you sharp Nomads with at least two!

Last chance... answers in the morning! :light:

ANSWERS

David K - 2-6-2021 at 03:11 PM

#2 is Sauzalito (copper mine shown north of K103)

#6 is El Mármol... a floor in a former home or shop, near the onyx schoolhouse.

Bonus guess where!
