Where's Davo? A game using Baja photos from the past!
These ten photos are from my camera and have been posted on Nomad before and some may also be found on my website (vivabaja.com). Be as exact as
possible as to the location and/or Nomad shown!
Winner will get a copy of my new book, 'Baja California Land of Missions'
I will predict a least one or two hints will be needed!
1) ANSWERED BY 4x4abc: Bahía San Luis Gonzaga from Isla San Luis Gonzaga, near Alfonsina's Restaurant
2) Answered by Maderita: Cañon el Parral, off Valle Chico.
3) Answered by StuckSucks: secret beach along Seven Sisters coast
4) Answered by Maderita: Punta San Francisquito Resort beach (east of)
5) Answered by StuckSucks: Laguna Percebu
6) Partially answered by Bajaboy and TW: Mike Humfreville, but WHERE??? Hint: 2001 with many Nomads (Amigos de Baja then).
7) Answered by carlosg: San Ignacio
8) Answered by carlosg: Mulegé
9) Answered by Maderita: Observatory at 9,280'
10) Answered by Maderita: Shell Island and Ken Cooke, circa 2003
SCORE CARD (withone to go):
Maderita: 4

Yes and No 
BBBB was M's party (Cielito Lindo)... The Matomi President's Day weekend group trip to Matomi was my creation. Mike was at both, however.

Ah yes, President's Day Weekend...that's what I was remembering! I think I went south to Playa San Rafael afterwards. That was a fun weekend. When
is the next one?

Lest we get spoken to by surfers. And rightfully so.

Exactly correct! I am on the trail up the island from the sand spit at Alfonsina's that divides Bahía San Luis Gonzaga (on the right/north) from the
larger Ensenada de San Francisquito (on the left/south).

#10 = "Shell Island", approx 3/4 mile south of the Laguna Percebu beach camp/resort ?
#9 = site of the observatory, Sierra San Pedro Martir ?
#3 = south of Ejido Erenidira
#6 = perhaps east of the Sierra San Pedro Martir/near Diablo dry lake?
#2 = granitic boulders, volcanic or metamorphic above, palm canyon. hmmm, looks like an eastside canyon of the Sierra de Juarez or Sierra San Pedro
Martir. Per your clue, perhaps Canyon Diablo?

#4 = Looks familiar. Maybe it's the quintessential beach camp that I dream about. It has been a few decades since I visited, but perhaps Punta San
Francisquito ?

#6 = perhaps east of the Sierra San Pedro Martir/near Diablo dry lake?
On second thought, perhaps Laguna Salada, photo shot from just east of Canyon Guadalupe, looking south toward Canyon Palomar ?
