    The weir location is not really the Danasan area but close enough. I've got to have a name for this place and Danasan is easy enough to remember and say and only across one ridge line.

    Here are a couple pics on the way to the weir.

    Along one of the roads I use heading west was a newly pushed short road to the top of hill. I had to blast up it and this fellow was up there drilling a water well (I guess). He was OK with the Husky stopping over for the view. I'll check back on his progress later.

    Its impossible not to go by this ECO park along the way. Always a cool place to spend a little time. That 08 Husky just fits so well here...

    Little grub at the park. These guys get a lot of mileage from the fat of the land here. Like the banana leaf. Its used from bike mud flaps, to over peoples heads for protection, to the food table.

    Here's s few static shots of the Husky sitting on Hiway 101 on the way down into the valley. This is a landslide area and it looks like another landslide can happen again at any time so time was short there.

    The weir. Looks like manual operation of one gate... Maybe someday I'll be on hand when it needs operation :) 100_0458.JPG

    The name on that headstone looking sign on the right is the actual name of this area where the weir is at. See why I can't use the actual name? 100_0467.JPG

    After crossing the river, I headed on west just verifying where this road went and a look at the area. Lots and lots of rugged mountain type roads there. 100_0469.JPG

    That's Negros Island in the background. My Kodak Playsport just does not generate a good shot of distant images.

    This is back down at the base of the valley just starting to climb out of the valley. 100_0466.JPG
