Total distance 76 km
Photos last to first again
A double portion of chicken tikka botti and three chapatis 150 Baht at Bismillah.
I get back to the paved surface very close to the Buddah statue
The temperature is back to normal now and I was sweating this afternoon
Looking up at the ridgeline that I was on just before
Beautiful along here, this can be rode in the wet if need be as its all this surface for the rest of the journey
Lovely views from on the ridgeline with loads of fun tracks down there
A track that wasn't on the map leads me back to the locked gate at Pha Daeng, two years ago on the KLX 250 I saw this from inside the mine but as I was being chased after by security I was riding as fast as I could to avoid being escorted out and didn't have time to check this track out
Where I was looking down from a short while ago
More mud than I really want but I know further along its the quick drying tracks that I like
With a water crossing
Its muddy in places
Now to ride a track past the mine
I was told the mining was complete but something is still going on, perhaps its to obtain the topsoil
I try riding back on the other side of the track and the bike gets stuck so I have to push it out whilst revving it as well
I was completely unprepared for that and nearly came off
Looking down at the one being filled in
I ride to the very top and its looking good with lots of trees planted up here
Once they have completely finished I hope the entire area is going to look like this
No security here now so I can ride around at will
Now to the Pha Daeng mine to see how it looks
The renewable energy supply
The refuse burning electricity station is also nearly complete, one of the office guys came out to talk with me about it and said in about one month it will be finished.
They have a problem with a dust filter at the moment and he advised me not to stay there too long outside, it was settling on my skin and getting in my eyes, not very pleasant
To look at this track you wouldn't think it had rained recently
The Buddah statue SE of town that I found last year is almost complete now
