no - i have resizing software, that's not the problem.
when i converted the bitmap images to jpg and sized those to <50KB and upleaded here Doug's system gives me a SQL error message so it doesn't like sumthin. I am able to resize and post any of my other pictures here no problem.

i don't use photo bucket type sites cause once you register for any of them it eventually becomes spam city. and your email addy goes around.
been there. i don't care what they say.

if you want to try to post them, i have 2 of Cadaje, i can email them to you, welcome to try.

I have had no issues with photobucket, but whatever... The other bonus is that it dioesn't use Doug's server space since the photos are hot linked from another web site. It was Ferna de Tijuana that hooked me onto Photobucket.com.

Please email me the photos and I will post them here.

Just want all pilots to know that the Punta Bufeo airstrip was closed a couple of years ago. The last I heard is that it probably will not re-open...complications with the fact that the airstrip crosses land owned be three different persons.

There was talk about moving the Pta B airstrip to the south and away from the beach area, maybe between the houses and the main road, but who knows when that will happen.

We no longer have a house down there (as of last June), but I know that several residents have planes and also check in to this web site occasionally. Maybe someone will post info.

Microsoft Picture It! Express (any file downloaded, has the option of changing to any format) ... Photos for our use on Nomad are best saved as JPEG. I think BITMAP is better for text?

The Cadaje Int'l wouldn't load onto Nomad until I took the ' out and made it Cadaje Intl.

OK, I'm back from a nice but cool weekend at BOLA so... the airport is at the ejido of Alfredo Bonfil. It is on the road from Mulege to San Ignacio. One little restaurant and you have to land towards the town and takeoff away. bg

Posada International 1987


These were the days...landing at this little Posada Conception airstrip only a couple miles from the casa.

A little tricky at times with joggers or bikers wandering the runway, but fun!
.

.

hmm...will try to crop that a bit..here ya go. Mike, did you ever land here?

No Pompano - never did but i'd like to one day if they'd ever groom it. maybe when i get my ultra light down there....as soon as i get one that is.
i see that C- 206 go in and out a bunch, you know him, names Bill i think.

BG - you know i kept looking at your picture and thinking the area looks just like when you are by Palo Verde driving no. to Sta. Rosalia.
but then again i swear i saw it in Galen's book only surrounded by heavier Sahuaros.

Close. It's a Wheeler Express or an Auriga. A kit built plane.
I included a page for Punta Colorado from our "upcoming" book. Hope it comes thru well. bg
