Yes, with the taller tires the speedometer is spot on. I guess they make the speedometer read slightly fast to help you not get a ticket!
Stock tires have a fast speedometer but accurate odometer. 1" taller tires have an accurate speedometer but a slow odometer.
You have put a lot of work into this road guide. My only critique would be to use your original photos rather than the "color enhanced" versions. Baja
is a beautiful place just as it is. No need to portray a technicolor version.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.
Thanks... my camera does not show the colors well on Nomad, at least to me... until I enhance them. Not all of the ones above have been. The last two,
on the sand dune, for example: The first one is regular and the second enhanced. The sky looks truer to me in the second one?
In the guide, it won't be these Photobucket enhanced ones, but a photo sharpening tool that is in Word. However, unless it is an online only guide,
when printed the photos are in black & white.
The fat tire bicycle couple from Canada that I met at Mission San Luis Gonzaga have completed their Baja journey and are taking the ferry to Mazatlan.
Here is a YouTube video clip they produced from La Paz:
I just edited the first page by adding a revised road log from San Ignacio to San Juanico. I will work on the maps to change any of the notes I may
have had that need it.
Because this route is very popular and often in question, I added the new road log to the Road Conditions forum, as well.
It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it, right?
Enthralled would be an understatement.
This is the next best thing to actually being there.
Wonderful writing/reporting. Un mil gracias...
Welcome to Nomad, I am so happy you enjoy my work... Almost hate to call it work! I am in the process of writing the road guide now. It always helps
to post here when I get home to help organize the photos and visualize how it may look or be changed to look better.
I hope you look at TRIPS 1-5 also posted in 2017, if you are interested in those areas, too. Obviously, when this is all in guidebook format it will
be far easier to use!
Thank you for taking time to comment! I look forward to your trip reports here, too!
I received a u2u asking about Mission Guadalupe. So, bumping this trip report up for that Nomad to find it. He asked for the mission GPS. While there
are wall and foundation ruins all over the hillside, this was the mission church location:
Lat: 26.918549
Lon: -112.406078
Bookmarked this thread. There are several months worth of travel for me in just this one trip.
Glad you can utilize it!
Baja is a land full of adventure and these Baja Bound research trips offer just a tiny taste of the variety of places that exist with plenty more to
discover!
The new Atlas will make exploring more fun and someday the Road Guide will help to...
Here on Nomad, the Photobucket images are no longer sized to fit the page and have watermarks, but not where I also shared the trip report on Tacoma
World... odd?? I have been paying to prevent that.
Here is the trip report, as it should appear: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2017-baja-expedition-6-s...
