Nice selection, Tom. I think I am only certain on a couple of them! I will let the gang go for it before guessing on those.

Harald already answered that one, Calamajué Canyon. Of interest, this was 'Hwy 5' in the 1960s and 1970s... To around 1983 when a new graded road was
built form Laguna Chapala to Puerto Calamajué, crossing the old Hwy 5 route near where Coco's Corner would be established.

The cal pit is clearly visible

You are correct for number 2. I think David knows where #4 is.
Number 1 will be pretty hard for most. It use to have a road by it across the front that was wiped out between 2010 and 2012, I forget which. Road was
never rebuilt. The road in, which is rough in places, stops at a Ranch about a mile before the cave. There are paintings on the walls in the cave. The
bypass road around it only goes to a few ranches then deadends except for horses and a few good motorcycle riders. Blanca has been on the bypass road.

Zooming in, I see the ruins of a wall or dam, below the cave. Looking forward to learning where this is.

You are correct for #4.
#1 is about a mile east of Rancho San Juan de las Pilas. We stayed at the ranch overnight and Jesus took us to the cave to see the paintings. The trip
report I did from 2014 is here.

The bypass road comes down from the north about a mile or two further east and goes by a couple of ranches ending at Rancho Las Tunas which is west of
Mission Guadalupe. Les and Blanca where taken to Las Tunas back in 2014.

Your trip reports with photos and maps are great Tom!
Here is the area of San Juan de las Pilas for the gang to see the area these great places are:
Located along Arroyo San Pedro, midway between El Patrocinio and Mission Guadalupe... about where the blue o is in Pedro, on the arroyo.

San Juan de las Pilas is near the left Las Tunas marked in green, on the San Pedro arroyo center of the map.
