Winner winner, yes on both. The mission ruins are right in the middle of El Rosario, just a block north of the highway on the concrete street near the
tire shop. This is the first Rosario mission for 1774. In 1802, the mission relocated 2 miles west, where there are also ruins in Rosario de Abajo.

I did say close counts! You are well within a kilometer... You can see the straight ridge of rocks on the satellite imagery. About here: 28°
22.830'N, 113° 6.962'W
For those of you who don't want to search the GPS on Google, this is along the road between L.A. Bay and Punta San Francisquito, just north of the
junction with the road to El Arco.

A few more that Erle Stanley Gardner took in 1966:

We need hints for #1, 3, 6, 9 & 10?
#1 is in Baja (Norte), once the major north-south road on that side of the peninsula, and a frequent checkpoint and pit location for the 1000.
#3 is in Baja Sur, a popular place for pangas to off-load their catch, and an interesting church is nearby.
#6 is in Baja (Norte), along a popular dirt road to a Spanish mission.
#9 is in Baja (Norte), on a side road to a bay and some mysterious walls.
#10 is in Baja (Norte), in front of a small city that is the new capital of a new municipality.
