Without a GPS we looked for a nearby scenic attraction and got lost so we camped here.
I emailed my guess to Bajanomad 
El Desenga?o
______________________________
Thanks DK AND Doug, that weekend we were semi lost for a while trying to find tinajas de Yubay, in the end we found El Desenga?o and wonderfull
wildflowers, a very interesting mining area that calls for more exploration.

Sorry guys, I didn't see this thread continue with a question to me. I have been pretty busy trying to make some money for the next Baja trip!
The photo was posted by someone who found my geocache (called Viva Baja #2), which I left near Desengano in April 2001 while exploring potential
destinations for Viva Baja Tours, with partner Amo Pescar and son Chris. There are other photos as well at www.geocaching.com (Mexico).
The photo was taken from the hill north of Desengano which was an extensive gold mine operation, with the ore flown out in the 1930's. The 'X' pattern
crossed runways make a great aerial landmark even though they are not landable any longer.
In the photo, the straight lines may have been railroad or cable tram line routes.
