Morning Summit Drive [photos condensed per BN reqs/resolution lowered]


background info:
Spring 2005 -- The Rubicon Owners of CA along with Baja Nomad and Just Runs 4WD Club of San Diego did a Pole Line Run. Before starting the actual trail, we drove up and back down the Summit before camping that evening in Caņon Jaquegel. Here is what our morning looked like on the Summit trail!

Here are some photos...


Here is a portion of our group. That's Nomad 'CG', his son and some kids that went along for the ride. Renay is also in the photo - she is standing next to her Jeep that was stolen last year. Renay attended Graham Macintosh's Summer 2014 presentation in San Diego.


Panning the camera about 180 deg., was this small Corral. I don't remember if there was a Cabin nearby..


Heading back to the edge of the Summit before the descent offered this striking view of the Mexicali desert below.


The Pole Line Road is the trail that angles off towards the right. The canyons beyond that pass offer a full day's worth of rocky fun and 4WD challenges! The Pole Line Road!


The edge of the Sierra Juarez offered grassy fields with pincushion cactii.


Cohabuzo Junction and the Laguna Salada below

Ken, you are using Photobucket, so no need to "lower the resolution" or quality... Just set the upload size to 800 pixels (that is the width of Nomad) and do so with photos from your file at their normal, high-quality file size. It is the size of the photo on Nomad and not the quality or resolution that is asked to be limited to 800 pixels when you use a third party host or your own website for showing photos.

It is when you don't use a photo hosting site and want to have Nomad house the images do they need to be lowered to 250 kb or whatever Doug said... It used to be 49 kb max!

When the image size is reduced from 2500 down to ~750, the quality of the image changes. Its good to know I can go to 800 instead of 750 like I have been reducing in the past.

Photobucket does not have a 750...? Again, when you click Upload, then the gear symbol (upload options) you are selecting one of a few choices for your photo to show. If you don't do anything the photo is at 1,024 pixels wide... and goes off the Nomad page width. Doug asks to limit it to 800, but even the next size down (640) is a nice viewing size... high quality, if that is how you took the photo, just not bigger than the monitor screen!

Thanks David! I always upload the image, then make adjustments after the image is uploaded.

If you have just a Photobucket album for Nomad sharing... or if that is the only use for Photobucket (as In my case, for Nomad and other forums, which mostly all need photos size limited) then doing it the way I showed how in the first post in the Nomad Photo Forum will be LOADS easier!
