Out along the 3002 to explore some new roads that I have not rode on before and I found a few today

I ride very close to the Moei river this morning

That dog is being sensible hiding under there on this hot day

Sand is being dredged from the Moei

Sadly one useful ingredient is missing

A complete lack of H2O makes for a very uninteresting waterfall

I wonder how long before that tree falls over

Whilst riding along the 3047 I notice a road going up in the hills where only dirt tracks are showing on the ESRI

Its numbered as the 5026 on the km marker and strangely the GPS also has this number but only shows it as a dirt track

Its one awesome twisty well surfaced road that I am wondering where it will emerge.
The GPS shows loads of tracks out here all joined up but all dirt so I have no way of knowing which way this one goes until after I have rode it

This is just brilliant and theres loads of dirt tracks going off of it on both sides, a lot of exploring to do here just outside of Mae Sot

After 6 km of fun I need to slow down a bit as at N16.56.498 E098.35.749 the surface turns to unpaved and stays like that for 2.6 km until N16.57.584 E098.35.173 then its a paved surface back home.
One of the side tracks off of the unpaved bit was a good asphalt surface and that will be one of tomorrows projects

Shame to hear you won't make Kanchanaburi this year Colin, but on the other hand, great that we can get more mapping done in the Mae Saraiang region, will try get down there.
