GUESS WHERE IN BAJA IV (and the beat goes on)
You Nomads have been great at answering the questions of where the photos were taken! I kept trying to make them more challenging and the last game I
stumped you on a couple... even with hints. TMW has been the champ on the previous three... does he have some competition?
1) Road between El Arco and Punta San Francisquito. Pacifico
2) Entrance to San Pablo Canyon, east of Vizcaino. TMW
3) Cañon San Pablo upper end from the road to San Francisco de la Sierra. AKgringo
4) La Bufadora Inn, Bahía Asunción. AKgringo
5) Punta Falsa. TMW
6) Junction of roads to Asución and Torugas, west of Vizcaino. TMW
7) Mirador (Viewpoint) between San José del Cabo & Cabo San Lucas. RnR & El Jefe
8) The Bat Cave near Santiago. AKgringo
9) La Paz. bajafreaks
10) El Triunfo. BajaBill74
11) Morro Santo Domingo. Bajazly.
12) Parador Punta Prieta (L.A. Bay Jcn.). AKgringo.
As they are guessed correctly, I will put the answer and the Nomad credit next to the photo number. Go for it!
AKgringo: 4
TMW: 3
Pacifico: 1
Bajazly: 1
BajaBill74: 1
RnR: 1
bajafreaks: 1

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

LOL... I am not saying a thing! But, yes... you are correct.
I posted this photo in April 2017 on my Trip #4 research trip for Baja Bound before I knew Cameron went their and made it his secret beach.

David, I took this picture in 1999 and it looks a lot like number 9. I was walking South from what was La Pinta hotel.

Yes, there are many palapas on beaches in Baja! Look at #9 and notice the coconut palms, the sailboat light poles, the curve of the coastline, all of
which do not match San Felipe. Also, your photo is looking south. Mine is looking north (ooops, that is a huge hint)!

#7 - I'll defer the answer to someone with more local knowledge than me. But, I knew that it was taken from the Mirador on Hwy 1.
How far is Zippers from Old Man's?

The answer for me was pretty easy, Mirador between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Zipper's wasn't the answer I knew, but RnR added "west of
San José" so that worked! Thanks Tom for jumping in, too.

According to the book, The Surfer's Guide to Baja, Zippers, The Rock, and Old Man (also called Acapulquito) are all very close together, just
south-west of San José del Cabo and before Punta Palmilla (the point seen in the background of my photo).
My photo was taken at the Mirador (Viewpoint) at near Km. 28. That is just two kms. from the street to the beach hotels of San José del Cabo and the
estuary park (Km. 30).
Going south from San José del Cabo are: Zippers, The Rock, Acapulquito (Old Man). Then the coast curves out to Punta Palmilla.

Hints Needed?
#1 is not in Baja California Sur, but close!
#2 can be guessed by the answer to #3.
#5 The furthest west peninsula outhouse in one state.
#6 The kilometer sign is not on Highway 1, at least what we think of as Highway 1. Here I am driving west.
#9 A city beach facing west. Watching the sunset here is nice.

Zippers is about 500 meters up the beach from Old Mans in the opposite direction that the picture was taken.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.
