There is another way, and not attaching them... but by linking to another web site... Here is how (posted many times):
1) Make an album on Photobucket.com for the subject or group of photos... or just to put photos you want to share on Nomad and other forums.
2) To set the size of the photos (does not reduce the quality) to fit here you click on your name at the top of the Photobucket page.
Click on User Settings.
Click on Albums (top of page). Scroll down and see Upload Options and just below that is 'Customize Upload Options', click on that.
Click 800 x 600 for maps or max. size to fill the Nomad page or click 640 x 480 for large size photos that don't fill the page. Nomad is an 800 pixel
wide frame, and if you don't resize to 800 or less, the entire page will stretch off the standard monitor and require sideways scrolling. You only
need to do this step once or if you wish to change it.
Click SAVE.
3) Click on the big Upload box at the top center of the Photobucket page and simply select the photos you want from your PC folder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To show your photos on a Nomad page:
1) Place your mouse on the thumbnail photo in your Photobucket album and select the IMG link of the links box that pops up or is already there, copy
that IMG link with your mouse (left click, right click, click copy).
2) On your Nomad post, paste the photo link by right clicking your mouse, and click paste.
Add a caption below the photo if desired and double space between photo links so there is a separation between them.
I suggest not posting too many photo per Nomad post so those with slow upload speeds can also enjoy them... maybe every dozen pictures start a new
reply/post?
The Craig's List Photos can be shown easily... Just right click on the photo, copy the URL, use the photo tabs button, paste the URL... Here are some
done for you...
Here are (some of) the photos from Craig's List

Tours
Tours of "the Playpen" as we call it, are available. You must know that it's a 1-way trip!! If you like Baja, you certainly wouldn't like the
playpen. The interior of the underground floors (which is all that is used) is all polished cement and linoleum--alien body fluids are very sticky
and difficult to clean-up
I really appreciate the opportunity to advertise my beach house on Baja Nomad. Does anyone know of any other places to get the word out? As noted
above, I have an ad on craigslist and I had an ad on San Felipe.net plus there are signs at the highway.
Such a wonderful place and so many good times and memories.

There are other Baja forums, but none as 'active' as Baja Nomad.
TalkBaja.com may be next, and many of us post there also.
The next place to post is BloodyDecks.com, a popular fisherman's forum. I don't post there, so I don't know if they have a classified ad forum?
I am not sure about the status of the El Huerfanito 'airport'... I know there was originally two runways, and they date back to the early 1970's or
before. If a runway is still open, maybe ask a pilot here on Nomad to post an ad for you on Baja Bush Pilots forum... You have to join them to see or
use their forum...
Best of luck on your sale!

Thanks to all for the help and interest. The area used to be known as Nacho"s camp but it's divided into 5 separate camps nowadays. Nacho's part is
now run ½ by 1 son and ½ by another. The airport fell into disrepair years ago (more than 20) and is no longer desired by the camp owners as there
were a couple of mysterious landings during the height of the drug interdiction period by the Mexican Army who eventually dug trenches across the
landing strips just like other airstrips in the area. In fact, just across the highway from the camps is still an army post that is used irregularly
by the Army to review vehicle traffic. The Army also patrols in groups of 10 by pick-up truck around camp. The nearest landing areas are
Puerticitos to the north and Brisas del Mar to the south.
Poster Churro, I'll be in camp about the 7th of Jan. I look forward to meeting you. The $700 is annual and I have never asked for a lease but I bet
you could get one. The area was really remote and difficult to get to in the "old days". Nobody was sure they would make it another year so the lot
rent was always year-to-year. I guess old habits are hard to change.
David K thanks, again, for the extra help. Why is it I'm discovering so many great people just when my time in Baja is coming to an end? I
registered at TalkBaja and I'll try an ad there, too
I have to say that Baja Nomad is a great resource and I've only begun to explore other forums. Thanks to those responsible for its creation and
maintenance.

I pay rent to Nacho Sr's sister-in-law, Maria. Starting from the north there are five camps with Nacho's being the 2nd run by Nacho Jr and Gori, then
our camp, then the owners of the former airport, Josefina and her son Jonny, and finally, Tano's camp. There are youtube videos of Tano's camp. Are
you a neighbor? Thanks for the reply.

I remember first time at 'Nacho's El Huerfanito' (perhaps before it was Nacho's?)... On our trips to Gonzaga by Jeep Wagoneer, in the 60's... there
was a home/ building on a big concrete slab... and several kids... my parents gave candy to. They sold sodas and beer, I guess... perhaps sportfishing
was offered? It was right in front of The Little Orphan Island (El Huerfanito).
See 'Campo Huerfanito' on this 1970 Cliff Cross Map:

Pablo and Nacho have been our good friends for for about 12 years. We have been going to SF for about 25 years. We have never bought anything but the
kids have established themselves and we will probably look for something to base ourselves out of. Retiring end of Dec. 14. Haven't dived the Island
yet but Nacho says there are big Conchs to be had.

His cords are for the airport which is where the Punta Bufeo homes & motel are. Yes, someone told me there have been recent landings. They have a
constant battle to keep the sand drifts off the N-S runway. Punta Bufeo has some now homes.
El Huerfanito is slightly north for the airport by driving along the beach
