Thanks for 'taking us along'... very cool photos of some of the 'Best of Baja', for sure! Mision San Luis Gonzaga, Agua Verde, Mulege, Scammon's Lagoon, Cataviña, Coco's Corner, Calamajue Canyon, San Ignacio... GREAT!

Nice!

We once 'found' Ensenada San Basilio while looking for San Nicholas. It was before we had the Baja Almanac. Magical place.

Coco and many others call it Valle Encantada (enchanted valley) - it's the narrow canyon (Calamajue) with colorful slate. The running water (some of it warm) and the many birds make it truly an enchanted place. Zoom in on the track and you'll find the spring. It has a recent mining claim next to it (you know, the white concrete blocks with names and numbers)

Thanks much... great photo's and appears all had a great time .. .

The first location for the next mission north of San Borja proved unfit because
the water was so mineralized it prevented agriculture.
After 7 months, the mission was moved.

No, didn't see the mine... but I have seen the runway on Google Earth and in an old copy of Airports of Baja. The Camino Real heads northwest from there and through a canyon to the valley on the other side (just south of Coco's). You can see an old mine road grade leading towards Laguna Chapala from there, too.

I usually take one road in and then the other one out (actually, there is a variation of the south road, I sometimes take).

Pristine? Are you kidding? Too many sailors. They love to hide their trash behind the dunes. I haven't found a single remote beach in Baja, that does not have trash from the sailing community.

The bay is still beautiful though. Stunning at night.

how do I post more than one image in one post?

San Basilio at night

if you do it on your own server then you have to post pics one by one as far as I understand

photobucket is free - pretty easy to learn - and then once you get the image code - you can post as many as you like at one time

bear in mind - it took me 2 years - with everyone heres help - to master this technique (I jest NOT). but now I got it down



and you will get it down too.

Kinderleicht

YES! I often post photos here from my web site (VivaBaja.com).

You use this icon (from the group just above where you type here):
to insert photos, or add the tags to the photo url yourself. Tags are [img] and [/img] on each side of the image url (no spaces).


Here's an example... (Mision Santa Maria, 2007)




















So, take the image url:

http://vivabaja.com/msm/page7_files/mailedD26.jpg

and add tags to both sides, there is a space added on purpose here to show you:

[img] http://vivabaja.com/msm/page7_files/mailedD26.jpg[/img]

remove the space and you get....

OK, let me try my newly acquired skills

over the years I have given all borrego skulls I had found to Coco - unfortunately they were all stolen when he had to leave for his hospital visits
this one I will keep for myself



when was the last time you have you taken your kid for a sunday ride?



when they are in season, they are a delicious find: wild passion fruit



tents are for wimps - nothing beats a "bed" right under the stars



looks like it works! - thanks guys for your assistance
