My favourite curry in Mae Sariang, the Indian chicken curry at Sawaddee 100 Baht

So these are the culprits ruining all of our dirt tracks

Then its a narrow singletrack for a while

Now I know where I am and theres definitely a way through as I have rode it before

A bit of time wasted going back to try out various ways but eventually I ride on an unmapped track which joins up where I finished before
IMG_1403.jpg
This was it, from here to where I turned around before coming from the other way is the missing section

According to the gps I should have a right turn coming up very soon

They ask me where I am going, I say Mae Sariang and they wave me on, a good sign

Off to explore this track that is on the gps map, I tried it from the other end and couldn't find a way through so lets try again

It was certainly cold up in the hills today, I saw a sign for a waterfall and at a junction these two pointed me in the right direction

A free roadside carwash

That looks evil but no rain on the dirt tracks today and that was all that mattered

What I did notice as I rode north was the amount of tracks going off to my right that the esri map also showed, theres still a lot to explore out there

It was sunny here to start with then got a bit cloudy and windier, as I rode further along the 108 the more it looked like I was going to get soaked.
The 1270 was wet for a couple of km from the 108 and again a bit further on but I stayed dry
