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

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

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

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:
