Yesterday I took one of the most beautiful roads I have ever been on.
The road from Pai to Mae Hong Son was truly breath taking. One of those WOW events where every turn was a different mindblowing view and you just had to say WOW.
So, the famous Hana highway (also one of my favorites) has something like 500 turns from Haiku to Hana. Dig this. The road from Pai to Mae Hong Son has 1864 turns!!!Thats right 1864. And I made all of them! ;^) THere is even a certificate they issue you here in MHS that says you drove the road compeleting all 1864 turns.
It was really a blast being on a bike doing the road although at the end of the day I was beat.
The terrain here in North Eastern Thailand is really amazing. Limestone mountains with jagged peaks covered in jungle foliage. From some of the peaks that the road hits you can see the whole mountain range to Burma. Now that is a whole different world that will have to wait for another trip.
I was truly feeling blessed to be able to be here and witness this. To have the resources to experience this does not pass by me lightly. I have been graced with good fortune and I give my thanks everyday.

Chef,
Thanks for keeping us posted!! You represent bro and share your music with the world! All is well here in the "other paradise". Over 80 degrees today and had a fabulous day skating and jumping. But alas it will never be over 1800 turns. WooHOO! Have som som tum for me. All the best, Kwantis
Brother Jeff,
Wow, you've forced me into the 21st century while your traveling somewhere in the 5th. That's very cool in a weird Twilight Zone sort of way. It sounds like you're having a great, life altering time. I think it's awesome that you'be brought your guitar and amp with you. I can only imagine what it looks like to see you on that cycle with those slung over your shoulders. Be safe and I look forward to hearing of your adventures upon your return!
Peace my brother.
Bill
