If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Just one that I'm sure about but a couple more that I can guess at.
1. Possibly the road between El Arco and San Francisquito.
3. Two guesses Mex 1 South after the climb out of El Rosario near Hector's shrine, or Mex 1 South, after the climb out of Laguna Chapala.
6. Mex 5 turnout between Puertecitos and Punta Bufeo.
Nice photos

Thank you and thanks for playing!
#1 is an unimproved (two-track) road. The El Arco-San Francisquito road is a wide, two-lane, graded road. HINT: Not far from L.A. Bay and is a
dead-end road.
#3 is your second guess, named El Portezuelo, Km. 243, elev. 2,440' (the peninsular divide) about 5 miles south of Laguna Chapala 'village'.
#6 is correct, more exactly the view parking at Km. 99, north of El Huerfanito.

CORRECT!
So, that leaves #1, #7, and #8 unanswered with hints provided for #1 because an answer was attempted.

Some more guesses for 1, 7, 8 ???
HINTS:
#1 goes to a pictograph site. Previous hint: " Not far from L.A. Bay and is a dead-end road."
#7 An old Spanish mission town in Baja Ca Sur, less than 3 miles from a paved highway.
#8 A Baja (Norte) road, one of two to an old mission site and both are about the same length from a paved road.

1 looks like the short track off the San Borja road to the pictographs
7 looks like the road into San Ignacio town
8 looks like the road out of EL Progreso to the San Fernando Velicata mission ruins
(been on all of those in the last six months)

#1 OK, I can give to you, it is the road to Montevideo, the pictograph filled cliff. It is about 7 miles from the San Borja graded road and begins 2
miles south of the L.A. Bay highway.
#7: nope (it was taken in the same area as another photo in this game)
#8: nope

#7 looks a lot like San Ignatz with the cobblestone street and the lava wall in the background.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

'thebajarunner' had already guessed the same. This is in another mission town. Very similar, yes.
