Crossing the river again in Ban Papae
About 100 metres after the waypoint for the Wat the surface turns to paved and stays so back to the 3010.

DSCF2220.jpg

Along the 3010 I can see the Wat through the trees
DSCF2221.jpg


DSCF2222.jpg

Each time I ride the 3010 there is more of it paved and today was no exception with a new stretch that was dirt two months ago
DSCF2223.jpg


DSCF2224.jpg

Now on the dirt track that runs past the hot springs and will bring me out on the 108 about 2 km from town

The dam along the river, I guess here is where water is diverted through a pipe to power the hydropower plant on the 108
