De nada my friends!
It really is easy... but you have to know what a place looks like or match up the land with the topo maps...
Remember, I do requests! Where in Baja would you like a quick link to see it from space?

Hmmm... Well, there is a Bahia Santa Marina in the Baja Almanac (note the 'n') at the south end of Mag Bay. Puerto Chale and Puerto Datil are on the
shore... Isla Creciente is the barrier island that seperates it from the Pacific...
Here it is: Bahia Santa Marina

If you scroll down to the bottom of the "Layers" in GoogleEarth, you find 4 layers DG Coverage 2005, DG Coverage 2004, DG Coverage 2003 and DG
Coverage 2002. If you turn these on one at a time, you can see when they got pictures of various areas - These are the Digital Globe images. - Go to
your place and then turn these layers on and see if DG made these images and when. A lot of GoogleEarth images are not Digital Globe images though
and I don't know how to get history on them. I can timeline the one of my place by what's in the driveway etc. This is in Google Earth, not Google
Maps but suspect both using same satellite data.

A request for San Bartolo was received... it has been added to the 'Along Hwy. 1' section... Unfortunately, there isn't high resolution images in this
part of Baja... so a real close zoom in isn't yet possible.

Yes! I am working on another story and this would sure help.
Think about water as you play with the possible route.
Thanks |
Popotla page 1 D6 (where the new truck road will come out from Tecate
Neji page 2 M4/5 South and east of Tecate.
Not being a smart ass--you have always know the answers to everything I have asked you in the past and I assumed that you would know these.
Sorry!
I really do not know how much work this is so if it is unreasonable just let me know. To me it seems like you just wave a magic wand and it is there.

Okay Bernie, I knew Popotla but not the rest... Let's see how I can help!
Unfortunately, the resolutution is not good beginning just south of Rosarito.
Here is Popotla (not very sharp) from Fox Studios to the point where you can see way south to Cantamar... this is also added to the list 'Along Hwy.
1': Popotla area
Okay, here is a zoom out where you can see Popotla in the lower left corner and the land going inland towards Neji...
Popotla and area northeast, high view
Stand by for more...
Okay, in this view you can see Rodriguez Reservoir in the top left corner... and the land any trail would traverse between the two points... You can
easily see Arroyo Las Palmas which is the main 'river' into Rodriguez... Neji is east northeast of Valle las Palmas on Hwy. 3.
Arroyo las Palmas
Here is further along Arroyo las Palmas, the likely route of any trail to Neji...
Arroyo las Palmas II
Here is the area between Valle las Palmas and Canon el Alamo... If you have any place names for this trail, it may help pinpoint the route...
Southeast from Valle las Palmas
Stand by for more...
Las Parras and El Alamo Canyons... west southwest of Neji...
El Alamo Canyon
Best zoom in, but not clear of Neji (?):Neji, south of El Hongo

Thank you David
Your response jogged my memory and I now remember an old road that winds east and north from Cantamar up toward Rodriguez Dam and Valle de las Palmas.
That will work with some other stuff I have for my new book.
Again, Thanks

Fantastic David!!!
Thank you so much for your efforts here !! These shots are awesome.......Great stuff!!
Could you find El Chorro near Agua Caliente for me? And by "Agua Caliente Hot Springs" would you be meaning Santa Rita Hotsprings near San Jorge, or
the Hotsprings at El Chorro.
A shot of Canon de la Zorro would be KEWL too

This is what I meant is what I typed: "Agua Caliente Hot Spring (off Valle Chico)". Almost every hot spring in Mexico is called Agua Caliente, so it
is important to add some other reference point to the name.
Valle Chico is the valley southwest of San Felipe at the foot of the Sierra San Pedro Martir. The north end of Valle Chico is Diablo Dry Lake and the
south end is Arroyo Matomi.
El Chorro is just west of the town of Agua Caliente which is just southwest of Santiago in Baja California Sur.
Santa Rita and San Jorge are just west of Santiago....
I will do my best to add these sites to the list, stay tuned!

Hi Marie-Rose, just scroll up this page and see the post be BajaRescue... He linked the image to Todos Santos just fine... You can zoom in or out and
scroll around with your mouse from all the images.
By the way, Sunrise Cafe in Vista has new owners who are keeping things pretty much the same as when you where there.

San Jorge & Agua Caliente (near Santiago)
Okay Frizkie, in this image are both arroyos (San Jorge on the top and Agua Caliente on the bottom) where they exit the sierra. On the right, between
them, is Mesa Cerralvo.
This is an area without high resolution, so a zoom in to show much more detail isn't happening here. The town of Agua Caliente is near the lower, left
edge of the mesa.
San Jorge & Agua Caliente (near Santiago)
I also added Santiago to the list, as it is easy to pinpoint even without high resolution because of the airstrip just west of town and the riverbed
curve...
Santiago
SEE NEWEST LINKS on main list for Santiago and Agua Caliente!
