The 3rd picture down is the building in El Barril. You wrote about it in one of your trips.

Correct, the Ybarra House in El Barril.
Here is Choral Pepper's theory on the Ybarra House of El Barril:

Thanks for playing (and welcome to Nomad)!
The direction of travel is correct, but it is another road, further south. Good guess however!

Thanks for playing!
The palms in this photo are mostly date palms (common at mission sites, that's a hint), with a few natives. The palms at Santa María are all native
palms (not date palms). There are 26 more missions in Baja to select from!
Keep trying!

I'd pick Santa Gertrudis for the first one. The algae and stones look familiar.

You can get to those two places from this road, and I was at El Barril earlier, but now I am driving a different direction, different road.
2nd hint... It is one of the 4 roads I have added mileage figures alongside. Is it 10.9, 11.8, 11.9, or 13.9?

Need more hints???
HINTS:
#2: A preserved mission site in Northern Baja California (Name the mission).
2nd hint: It is just 1 km. from Highway 1 and has a small museum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#5: Along a road out from Bahía Asunción (name the road destination).
2nd hint: It is not the road to San Roque
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BONUS: Short-cut road cross-connects two well-used roads (name the other roads or nearby places).
2nd hint: It is a mostly north/south road and not on the AAA map.

No more guesses?
The answer to #2 is Mission San Vicente Ferrer, in San Vicente. Only 1 kilometer off Hwy. 1 in a museum-like setting as a self-guided walking tour.
Worthy of a visit!
The answer to #5 is the road between Bahía Asunción and San José de Castro and the Bahía Tortugas highway.
The Bonus Photo is the road that I measured as 11.9 miles long going south from the El Arco to Punta San Francisquito road to the El Arco to Santa
Gertrudis road. I hand drew it onto the AAA map I posted above.
