What a day! I didn't get as far as I wished due to all the climbing that my poor bike and my body had to withstand today. I cycled a little over 73km and ascended 1638m. I am sitting at an elevation at almost 650m and I hope it stays around there until I hit the Sinakharin Reservoir. Tomorrow I will cross it. I figure I have like 50km to reach it.
Some highs for today... The national park checkpoint guard gave me three bottles of water. He spoke lots of Thai which I didn't understand but I think it had to do with the huge hill I encountered shortly after leaving him. Its also raining as I type this. Hopefully it cools everything down just a bit.
I am also camping for tonight so free accommodation once again! Got to love that.
Trip totals = 869km and 7833m for elevation climbed. I'm almost climbing over Everest!

Well tomorrow I head east. The trip will mostly trend east and a bit north to east and lots south to the coast. I really don't think I will be getting out of the mountains tomorrow but I will take it one day at a time for now. I am now off to find some food for a growling stomach and hopefully some breakfast so I can be off super early.
