Wow! There are some really good parts on that truck! If I'm not mistaken, that model has the electronic locking differentials. That seems like quite
a new rig just to abandon. I'll wager not much of it will be left by the time summer rolls around.

the pangueros spoke of motorcycles/speedboats meeting cessnas flying without lights and landing on the deserted beaches at low tide and AT
NIGHT!!! when i asked if there were burning cans of gas or other lights to
define a landing strip for the narco-traffickers, mario replied, "nada, solo GPS!!!"
keep that in mind next time you're camping on a deserted strech of coast and in the middle of the night you hear what you think is an engine.

Reminds me of a few years ago when Bruce Barber and I found a Toyota P/U in a part of the Sierra San Felipe we call Calamity Canyon. We hiked over a
small ridge looking for a outcroping of mica? I had been to a couple years before that. here was the P/u with the radiator missing - everything else
there. Went back about a year ago and most of the frame and body was still there and I think burned if I remember right. No landing field around
here. The strange finds we make in Baja.

Do a search for "resizing photos" and you will find help there.

If a "picture resizing" search doesn't work, or in a pinch, you can email the photo to yourself and Windows will ask if you want to resize the
photo.....usually works.
I've been using software from www.pictureresize.com which is free for thirty days, then costs ten dollars to buy it....pretty cheap, works well.

Resizing
The program that came with my Olympus camera has a resize comand in the Image drop down menu. If your camera came with any software check the help
file for resize.

My Windows XP has Microsoft 'Picture It Express' built in and it is pretty easy to resize a photo once it is in your files. For it you:
Set Pixel width somewhere between 300 and 400. Resolution 150 or less. Image width between 2.5-4.5 inches.
Move your mouse over the image in the file, and the kbs (file size) is shown. Doug requests less than 50.
This one of Camp Gecko last Sunday is at 41.8 kbs...

NIce!? I bet it was stolen and then abandoned.
None the less, baja salvage to the rescue.
