Willard McCarty, listmaster extraordinaire, suggested readers here would
like to have the URL for the Silk Road camel caravan that I mentioned
here earlier. It's http://silkroad.turk.net/OverView.html, and the e-mail
address is silkroad@turk.net.
The last English-language journal entry posted is dated last September,
although last June they reported they had over a year to go. Perhaps
they're still out there, but their communications technology has let
them down. This is a UNESCO-sponsored venture, so I assume they have
adequate support and can be retrieved if they get into serious trouble.
Or perhaps there were more entries and I didn't look far enough -- no
time right now.
In the "wonders and dangers of the web" department: I first found this
site when researching 1930s American radio, looking for any information
on a program called Camel Caravan. The persistent problem of being
sidetracked by fascinating things you find when you're looking for
something else seems particularly acute on the web.
