More... flying was the fast way around Baja, in the 1960s!

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

I've also stopped and photographed that natural stone "wall".


It really stands out, doesn't it?


I have about 20 more locations in Baja with that geological feature. Some close to Widowmaker.

Is this BoLA? If I go to the airstrip in Google Earth, that sloped island on the right looks like it could be Isla Cabeza de Caballo, with Isla Angel de la Guarda in the far background.

That is correct, Geoff!

#3 is also L.A. Bay.

#6 & #10 are both aerial views of San Ignacio.
#2 & #7 appear to be San Francisco de la Sierra.
#3 is L.A. Bay.
#8 & #9 both may be in the mainland (#9 for sure per geoffff).

I am most curious about #4 and #5...
They both have boojum trees so we know they are between El Rosario and San Ignacio.
#4 may be from a copper mine near El Rosario? A lot has changed from the 1960 to today, as far as remains of a ruin go.
#5 looks like a road switchback under construction or a mine, perhaps???
