Some additions to my July 4th trip page...
I have added the photo of FrankO and the twins. More GPS and milage data. More links... to the Las Flores Railroad line pics and a never before
published GPS of the terminal platform, seen in the picture... that's Doc on the platform. It is just one of many area historical interest spots. http://community-2.webtv.net/Boojum1/704
Once I am done tinkering with the page, it will be relocated to VivaBaja.com so it is easy for you to find.

Las Flores RailRoad
Here's a picture I took of Doc on the elevated railroad bed, near the south terminal, where the ore buckets on the cable tram (coming down the
mountain from the San Juan mines, dumped ore into the train cars.
The train engine is on display in the L.A. Bay Plaza. This photo is 5 miles south of Las Flores (which was the north end of the train line). Las
Flores is also where the silver (and gold) ore was processed into ingots.

DK, how do you post photographs as you did that one, so some explanatory copy can be included?

I would just copy and paste... Did you read the Choral Pepper chapters I have been posting on the Historical Interest Forum? Those are all copy and
paste... from Word.
I think you are asking: What if you have a photo with text? Transfer the photo, like I did above, then go back and use your mouse to copy and paste
the text under the photo, by using 'edit' to add to the page with the photo.
Good luck!

David, I always enjoy your pics and stories. REally love the ones of Camp Gecko as it will be one of our places to stay when we get there next year.
You make me feel as I there now! Thanks
