Description
Interior view looking toward the open top of a Mongolian tent or yurt, exact location not given. Includes two unidentified Mongolians who appear to be waiting to assist with a dinner gathering for the Charles Thayer tourist group. 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.
