to post photos they first need to be uploaded to a server once that is done that copy the link for each photos and drop in in your post.

I use https://imgur.com/

You can post them directly from a computer, just must click edit, then choose resize/pixel size, resize the largest of the 2 numbers (in height or width to 800 pixels), choose save as you exit each pic, (copy and paste them each into a folder (that you will create new, rename the folder ("Resized pics"). Then you can post those directly without using a hosting site (by choosing the paperclip above, go to that folder (resized pics), check the ones 1 at a time to add, upload the list, then revisit the paperclip and add them to the post. (There you can choose full sized -they will be an acceptable 800 max pixels in size, or tiny thumbnails).

Sizing is the key...anything on your phone is going to be really large in pixel size (and will be rejected by most websites). It sounds complicated above but it really goes fast to edit pics...just use the Microsoft paint program to edit.

Thanks for posting. I always find it interesting to see what tracks look like after they close. Some decay a lot faster than others. Anytime I find myself in an area with a now defunct track, I try to at least drive by and take a look.

I had a love/hate relationship with Atco. Never had any luck there, but I always looked forward to going.
