Didn't find any of the camels on our trip. I did think this was an interesting bit of history.
Tomorrow I will show you several animals we did find. Posted by Picasa

    Those poor camels must have had a hard life. Interesting story.

    I can't decide if this is hilarious (camels in Nevada) or sad (abandoned camels in Nevada), but a great bit of history.

    We still have camels roaming in Australia's deserts too, for the same reasons. I saw a few...
