...to southeast Arizona [mostly photographs]

[rocker59]

 one would want to limit the number of photos in an article.

Why?

Photos are one thing we never have enough of here at Wild Guzzi.

The more, the better...

YES! more entertaining than much of what goes on here!

How do you type the sound of a rim-shot?  Funny JL!

Ouch…  But, I agree with your other point; I’d sure like to see much more posting of photographs, too--but, avoid too much posting of unscaled images.  All of mine have been cropped and scaled and are actually fairly small files (even if there are an awful lot of them).

I obviously said that poorly; no poke at your essay was intended.
The concern was a thousand image post or two hour gopro film of some guy's world tour would get tediouos.
~ wait til my September post... you'll see what I mean.  ::)

FWIW, here is a pick of the southern end of Alamogordo.  Not a tiny town, but not huge by any means.  Behind me are the newer hotels and restaurants in town (Fairfield, Hampton, Holiday Inn, Chili's, Applebees, etc, etc).

Sorry I could not post pics of where I was at White Sands today.  You can look up HELSTF on the net (High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility).

Hi Daniel,

Great photos, as always!

Curious as to which mapping software you use. I've tried a few, but haven't been happy with the way they display or print.

Thanks,
Eric

Curious as to which mapping software you use.

For my purpose, Microsoft Streets and Trips (for North America) and Microsoft AutoRoute (for Europe) work perfectly (the programs are identical; only the area covered differs).  I can load directly from spreadsheets and have good control over how the points appear and it is really easy to add additional points.  Unfortunately, neither of those programs is now available.  You can find them new-in-box on eBay, but the prices are now crazy.

There's a free online routine (GPS Visualizer) that is coming along nicely, and might become my standard eventually.  The author allows you to put your points on a choice of quite a few map types (Google, USGS, World Topo, etc.)  It will also allow you to import from spreadsheets (or several other formats).  http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input

This map was made using GPS Visualizer (since neither MS product covers this area).  I put the points on a National Geographic map (one of several that are offered).


The MS programs let you highlight whole states (or countries) and has flexibility that nothing else offers.



When I eventually upgrade to a new computer and operating system, I'll need to decide what the best approach will be.

As always I find your travels thoroughly captivating.  It seems most people on two wheels to live for roads with one turn/corner after the other. Me on the other hand find the vast open area's you travel to be very inviting riding.  Riding and seeing ahead such a distance is very different than most of the riding back here in the east.
Thanks for taking the time.
