Hopefully these pups will survive playing out there

A bit of a wet track in places







Last year I found this steep track that went up into the hills but I turned back on the 250 when it went to single track on the cliff, now on the 150 I want to explore to see where it goes

Its been widened since I was last here but the surface is too steep and rutted to ride up, even walking up and down was dodgy

A pity as last time up here a few of the locals were riding through on their Waves











Now at the Huai Lan Reservoir and I have never seen it this low before, I expect to see it like this in april not november





Now at Huai Pha Rai Reservoir

Very low here too

Doi Dorn Reservoir is about 1 metre below capacity, I guess this one gets the run off from the hills and overflows into Huai Lan.
Has there not been much rain this year?

A few weeks ago I was over at the Doi Saket reservoir.. At what is essentially the end of the rainy season.. It was as low as I remember seeing in deep dry season..

I havent checked annual rainfall etc but it felt subjectively like a dry year and those water sources looked really low..
