She waits for her guy then disappears back down the track.
Well its been a great last two weeks since I rode in at Mae Ho to explore unmapped side tracks, I have found seven settlements and some interesting new link up tracks and loops

For the last 4-5 km back to the 108 this girl is my riding buddy and rides the KSR 110 very well indeed, when we stop here off comes her helmet and she takes her earphones out too.
I don't personally ride and listen to music as I prefer to have all my concentration for the riding

This Lady turns up who I passed about 2 km into the track from the 108, she has followed me all the way down and is going to Pha Daeng Tai at the end of the track, I am not going that far today

I can see this through the trees but don't want to ride any further as it might not be possible to turn around

One track turns to single track

Still a bit of water on this crossing, I wonder if it impedes progress when its been raining heavily

Riding towards the track to Pha Daeng
 
Just 3km north/ south and this would be an amazing link, opening up some great day riding.

The river running east-west will be the valley an presumably steep mountains either side as there's no link north/ south.

It was 5 or 6 years ago when I mapped Huai Bok and all those other villages level with it, there was nothing back then going on further south but now who knows
