Its a hot dusty day with very dry tracks to ride on, I thought yesterday the weather might be on the change but its back to normal today

Around the back of the Huay Luek reservoir and no water to be seen here, todays tracks were all new for me and I would like to ride here when its full to see how far it covers

Even out on one of these small tracks there were about five homes built close together

The terrain changes very quickly today, one moment I am slowly negotiating a very rocky track then its out through the fields on dirt
