hi all,
i took these pictures today of two different gas stations. the hand pump one was empty, but i saw another just like it clear up in the mountains that someone was filling a scooter with. you will have to look at all the pictures to find the ones of gas pumps. ha
the second one was a bit more modern, but in a kinda hard place to get at and you had to avoid the livestock.
btw, these are in the mountains an hour and a half north of chiang mai thailand. darlene and i are on a month vacation in asia. singapore, thailand and bali and then back to singapore again and home.
had an awesome day doing a 4x4 back trails of the mountains on horrible trails in a beat up old toyota 4x4 suv. it crept and groaned and squeeked but made it everywhere. we spent hours in first and second gear. we went from sea level to about 5000 feet.
the highlight of the day was a long trail drive to a hill people village that tourists dont go to. we never saw another tourist on the trail, at the village or on the return route a different way. we visited a school of young kids and passed out cookies to them. it was so cool to see how appreciative they were.
we really have it good.
i also posted a picture of the coolest decorated bus i have seen in asia.
