Further along the 1229 I try out this single track

I leave the bike and walk down for a bit then decide to turn back as I would have difficulty getting the bike out by myself if its a dead end

I try out the other end off the 2031 and its now double track with a nice mess right here

Around this stream the track seems to disappear and it looks like the stream bed is the track according to the ESRI, but it doesnt look rideable, its too hot to walk it today

On the way back to the 2031 I catch up with this guy

Now on another track and these two tell me I can get back to Chiang Mai this way

I am never alone today and its great scenery again

IMG_0662_zps029762b8.jpg

Lots of dead ends for crop access but one that turned to single track at N18.70928 E099.27728 had me wondering if it did cross over and return to Chiang Mai

I was surprised at how many people had their accommodation out along these tracks considering the short distance from the 2031 and a village, here I am given water

I like the no smoking sign

Now on my last new track and even after emerging from the gloomy woods I keep on finding signs of people living here
