george, how was san francisquito to coast to trinidad to santa marta? Its been a few years and Im thinking about 1 more time. What was time left from san fran to time arrived in san ignacio? just wondering how many people I can bring through and how many to send around. What a great trip you pulled off and some beautiful photos, thanks!

San Francisquito to San Ignacio is 8-10 hours, depending on stops, getting lost, and all that....longer with more riders :lol:

Beautiful photos of the Bill Nichols Trail and more! Central Baja is the greatest!

Barry A. - 11-28-2010 at 12:44 PM

I'm confused. Where is this trail you guys rode? (Yeah, Baja, I know) but exactly from where to where?

(I thought the "Bill Nichol's trail" was east/west from S. of Puertecitos to Mex 1 north of Catavina)

Where does San Francisquito to San Ignacio fit in?

So confusing!!!

Beautiful pics and narritive, guys.

There are lots of photos on that forum link... they are huge and takes awhile for my old PC to open them... The Bill Nichols Trail is from south of Puertecitos west to El Marmol, also to L.A. Bay north of the paved road, etc. Then there is another that Kacey Smith published in her first guidebook that goes south form El Barril to San Ignacio... it uses some of the El Camino Real beyond La Trinidad to Santa Marta. There are also photos of the Pacific Coast where Mike and Don-Kay are right now... Lot's to see.

The Trinidad Rt. is almost a jeep trail--very ruff jeep trail in wash
For 3 of us it took a long March day we were on the trail 1st light and in San Ignacio just before dark---it's so ruff and not as changing as it use to be I'm not sure i want to ride it any more

photos are too large to load quickly. would have liked to glance at photos, but were taking too long to load. but the first few looked nice :bounce:

suggest you save versions of photos that are optimized for web (i.e. smaller files)

David K - 11-28-2010 at 10:17 PM

Right... it is very helpful that before you upload photos from your PC to Photobucket.com that you pre-select a size for viewing them... (click on the options link first)

No bigger than 800 pixels (15" screen) or the size called 'Large' is nice for viewing... just a bit smaller than 800 pixels.

ArvadaGeorge - 11-29-2010 at 03:25 AM

It's up to day 9 now.
sorry about the large photos; but photos are what Adventure Rider is about

Photobucket photos

ArvadaGeorge - 12-8-2010 at 05:23 PM

I like the big photos and they are easier to posts in multiples from photo bucket. Can everone see them.

David K - 12-8-2010 at 06:03 PM

You can multi-post George, but you also can pre-size them to 800 pixels wide or less when you upload to Photobucket from your PC... per Baja Nomad photo posting request.

Below where you see this:

"Upload to Photobucket"
is this:

"Customize your upload options" (in blue text)

Click that!

Then see this, pick one (800 or less):

100x75
160x120
320x240 (Medium)
640x480 (Large)
*800x600 (15" monitor)
1024x768 (17" monitor)
1280x960
1600x1200
2048x1536
2592x1944
3648x2736
4000x3000

Roger that!

For some unexplained reason, some of the folks don't want a larger image but there's no real reason to confine these photos to the smaller size.....this forum handles them as easily as Adv...:tumble:

Yes George, like that! The photos look awesome and we old PC folks don't have to slide off to the right to read the caption or see the entire photo!

Do you insist on Black and White as well?


Just sayin'...........:light:

BTW, I read the "request"...it requests those sizes for "hosted images"...not for all posted images....and I hardly blame him since it requires his server space to host them...

David K - 12-10-2010 at 08:33 AM

No the Nomad hosted images must be less than 50 KB otherwise they won't show up. The hot linked photos are to be 800 pixels or less to fit on a 15" standard computer screen without distorting the frame.

It is really easy to upload to Photobucket with the photos automatically sized... and not irritate the host here or all those with 15" monitors...

Below where you see this:

"Upload to Photobucket"
is this:

"Customize your upload options" (in blue text)

Click that!

Then see this, pick one (800 or less):

100x75
160x120

2592x1944
