Description
View of several camels both standing and sitting on the ground. Taken in Mongolia, exact location unknown. Charles Thayer headed a party of fourteen Americans who traveled to Mongolia on a vacation in the summer of 1963, probably in June. They arrived at Ulan Bator and during the trip visited the Gobi Desert as well as the steppes of Mongolia and the site of the ancient capital of Karakorum. Thayer states the group travelled through the provinces more than 1000 kilometers by bus and jeep and another 600 kilometers by air.
