#3 is Hotel Colonet -- I know this because I tried to get a room there during the 1000 (there were none).

#11 abandoned building either a little north or a little south of Punta Prieta. I think south at the junction of a road headed west.

Is number 11 the abandoned building off hyw 1 somewhere around insurgentes that used to say "big fat gay Al" Always used to feel sorry for the guy
who was memorialized in that graffiti.
It was on a curve.

Of those two guesses, bkbend is far closer to being correct! That said, I will give it to him. On the map, it is La Bachata and at Km. 24.5, south of
Punta Prieta.

Surfers or tourist fishermen might stay here?

I recall seeing something that resembles that between punta baja and punta san carlos but I recall it being much more distressed?
