Even Uncle Bruce came along! (Mom's fictional brother for the evening)

We really did hate Phil. He was a boring, annoying, sexist man.

Damn, Swedish girls. Strong, warrior birthing genes.

Uncle Bruce and his hot ride. Hi five to my relative for a day!

Anders - careful, she'd tear you apart!

Camera's 'party mode' in full effect!

The classic face flower angle.

Flowers for the ladies on Valentines Day!

Anders, you are truly a Valentine's Miracle Boy!

Kris had size 15(?) shoes and lamented not easily finding stilettos.

7-Eleven - The 24 hour beacon of Asian convenience.

The goodbye photo - traveler's have alot of them.

DENGUE FEVER! You have nothing on Ninja's Mosquito-Air-Grab!

An Ode to Chiang Rai's Teepee Bar's Toilet. Damp.

OK, I laughed for many minutes. Who calls their water "Yellow Surprise"?

The beginning of the Northern Scooter Loop!

My hot ride, fresh helmet and Thailand guid book! Ho!

Oddly enough, upon exploration they were not huts, just solid bails of hay.

125cc's between you legs - quasi-macho. It WAS manual transmission though. Stud.

River view from my first destination - Tha Ton!

My hut. Just kidding - I was big pimping down the road.

A local hill exploration...

...revealed some odd tombs...

...and a path to the town's temple.

Big Red, don't get jealous of Black Bullet. It's a totally different relationship.

It's always fun to fin strange paths...

...that lead you back to the right path. (In general)

Finally time to chill and finish reading "Freakonomics" - GREAT BOOK!

My balcony in the am. I was sick and I couldn't sleep...

...so took some sexy pictures,

My room was literally 'on the river'.

The road to Mae Salong was one awesome ride!

Always a reassuring sign...

You see a mountain hut - I see someone's future office :)

One of many 'chill huts' - free for you to relax in.

Anyone for 'Black Chicken'? Strangely delicious. (Emphasis on 'strange')

From river view to mountin view balcony. God bless Thailand.

Oh I think I have this under control...

...one of the many store front homes...

...oh shit, I think I still have it under control.

The morning market - no sign of the 'team'.

So a solo mission to the peak is in order...

The sun begins to rise above the norther thai mountains...

...the local Nagas witness yet another sunrise.

The gold begins to shimmer in the early light.
