Here I am, but just where, exactly? Good Job Nomads!
1: (answered by geoffff: Km. 105 south of San Quintín): 
Making this a Guess Where in Baja is a bit silly, right? There are many places with the same kilometer markers, as there are different highways or in
the case of Highway 1, about 8 separate kilometer sections. Also, just because it says Mexico #1, doesn't make it so! LOL
2: (answered by advrider: Observatory Road) 
3: (answered by geoffff: just south of Bahía Concepción, 71 kms north of Loreto)
4: (answered by RnR: L.A. Bay junction/ Parador Punta Prieta) 
5: (answered by RnR: San Quintín area) 
6: (answered by TMW: Los Martires/ San Juan de Dios access road)
7: (answered by RnR: El Rosario) 
8: (answered by geoffff: Bahía Tortugas road at Bahía Asunción junction): 
9 (answered by geoffff: Km. 5 north of San Juanico): 
10: (answered by RnR: North from La Paz)

100% Correct!
El Cien (The 100) is northbound from La Paz, 92 kilometers from the Dove of Peace or Whale Tail monument (which is at Km. 8).

OK, hints:
#1 NOT in Baja Sur, 105 kms from a bay with an old mill.
#3 NOT in Baja Norte, driving north from the first successful mission.
#8 NOT on Highway 1. At a junction of paved roads to fishing towns.
#9 A popular surf 'bay' with a name that 'stings' is 3 miles away.

"emergency beacons" ended up on the wrong "where am I" post, should have been on geofff's.
