I  planned to do a solo trip to Northern Laos both for my own satisfaction and to get some new GPS tracks. As it turned out a number of other riders rode some of the same routes a week or so before me although I didn’t read their updated reports until after I returned. It seems they had a lot fewer “dramas” than I did and I can only attribute that to the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">“Curse of the Hill Tribe Woman”</span></span>.

This would save riding time and distance so I decided to find it and GPS it.........]]></description>

Traveling alone and mapping some roads with my GPS I ran into an old friend from Cambodia.  We spent an interesting night in this remote place....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2004 David Unkovich was commissioned by the Laos Tourist office to visit "out of the way" places in Laos and create specific maps for those provinces.  I was invited along and we had an exciting 6 weeks traveling the hard to reach areas of Laos.

I made a DVD of that trip with photos set to music.  Although you won't get to hear any music, all the photos are available for view on Smugmug.  We photographed some amazing events and people.  Have a look for yourself here........]]></description>
