the sisters hug seem a little suspicious to me.
they don't look like big on hugging. maybe it's "well, we did out best" hug and they out or think that they are out.

I didn't realize that was a local in the red  :lol:! See one of the sisters has a blue backpack where Rachel's has some orange in it but I'll be damned if I cant find a picture  :lol:
I'm just saying there appears to be another team still milking along with Lorena and in a previous shot we saw the other sister behind Jason.

Is it an elim? TBC? what are you all thinking?

I think that is the camel handler and the wrist thing is a camel leash. (Now there is a sentence I'll prob never type again! :lol3: )

I think the sisters hugging might be before the storm but what do I know? You think they are instructed to take a taxi to the pitstop?
If thats a sister in green she is looking for shelter while Lorena braves out the storm and cont to milk.
We see Shana & Jen too with the camels when the storm is coming so  ...
Teams arrive in Ouga -- Naba Koom -- get a clue --do a dance with the locals -- spend the night in a perhaps one of those mud huts? Take a train to somewhere Bukina Faso -- do detours and Roadblocks but what the heck is the detour? leading camels? I'm so confused.

The text in that first picture (post 115)  is different and it has last names.  This does not look like CBS footage?! :o

puddin, here is what I'm thinking:

1. It is likely to be a TBC in spite of what TAR Asia indicates and MICHAEL D wants. The structure of the AR12 indicates that there has to be one before Taiwan and there will not be a more contiguous place than in Africa.

2. It certainly looks like my prediction that railroad travel will not be involved is wrong. That means that such travel will be on the morning of July 14(which is not a national holiday in Burkina Faso despite its French heritage). Where do they go? there are not many choices, although there may be intermediate places that I don't know about. The major choices are:

a. Kaya to the north of Ouagadougou
b. Koudougou about 150 km west of Ouagadougou
c. Bobo-Dioulasso about 300 km west of Ouagadougou

The Mossi people lived throughout the whole region, so here is a link to information about them: Mossi People

Time?

My eyes say 1217pm, which is consistent with taking a train trip starting in the morning from Ouagadougou.

The census of camels in Burkina Faso indicates 15, 263 in the country. My ongoing research into where camels are most prevelant keeps pointing to Gorom-Gorom in northern Burkina Faso. If you want to see several photos of this, consult
Blog of Burkina Faso and Elsewhere and look for the Jan. 19, 2007 and Dec. 29, 2006 entries.

How could teams get to Gorom-Gorom from Kaya, the end of the railroad line?

Here's some new Lonely Planet information on road travel within Burkina Faso:
Buses and vans are called cars in Burkina Faso, and they run with admirable frequency from Ghana, Niger, Togo and Mali. Bush taxis and minibuses also do the same inter-country trips but you may find you have to get out at the borders, cross, and pick up another one on the other side. Minibuses are often 25% cheaper than the Peugeot 504 bush taxis. Driving your own car in and out of the country is fairly easy, and generally speaking the roads are in fairly good condition.

Gorom-Gorom is about 150 road miles from Kaya. Once teams reach Gorom-Gorom, the inevitable question is what next? The answer is that Gorom-Gorom is about 200 miles by road from Niamey, Niger. It is a somewhat greater distance from Bamako, Mali. No other major airport is within reach except of course returning to Ouagadougou, which I consider unlikely.

Train to O or train leaving O for somewhere else??????

Nope. I pointed out earlier in this thread that the Na Ka Boom statue is at the Railroad station. That is likely to be the destination in the clue that teams receive in Amsterdam as they leave the pitstop. Peach's information on the paucity of where the railroad goes in the best of times and how it is mostly out of business is certain to be accurate, so there will be no train rides for AR12 teams in my estimation.

Sorry, must have train ride since we have shot of Nathan (red tank top) looking outof train as it arrives somewhere; also kids running along side train as it arrives somewhere; and african child on train (cutey)

While I have the floor, more observations:

Departure of Jason and Lorena in Amsterdam and it is still dark; taxi ride of Nathan and Jenny in the dark; departure of Donald and Nicholas is in daylight and must be after 5:34AM (sunrise on July 13)  Do they have time to catch plane to CDG and connecting flight to our favorite African nation? AF plane leaves at 10:55AM and arrives in O at 4:35pm.  Sunset is at 6:35PM

Seems teams must go directly to Ouagadougou and not do task in the Netherlands or France before flying to BF.

Upon arrival looks like the sun is setting.  Then we have drummer in the dark (reversed shot with ANP...on pant leg)  Lorena with sisters behind her wiggling with the beat; also there with Grandpa.  All at night; upon arrival go somewhere to see local cultural event ?  Next morning go to train station to buy ticket (Jennifer?)

Train to who knows where.  Early morning.  Perhaps early morning shot of sisters in cab is on way to railroad station from overnight somewhere.  Sunrise at 5:49AM

Train comes into Ouagadougou station.  Shot from train arriving somewhere else, very rural looking, kids running along beside train (train yards in O. so no running)  Nathan looking out of train as it arrives in new location.

Camels.  Crossing RR spur.  Roadblock.  Milking camel.  Detour?  Something to do with leading the camels to water? or something else?  Lorena milking "Please Lord, give me Milk" title quote.  Jennifer milking.

Clever CBS editors:  good closeup of watch on Jason's arm is magled by CBS just as it comes into focus; face showing digital time is wiped out by added glare onto face of watch.

Nathan and Jenny.  Jenny pumps arm into the air as she reads clue and screems: 'BINGO"  Reading clue to pit stop or to next clue location?  Really acts like they are first, but their clothing does not match.  Both have on long sleeve shirts and Jenny has her green windbreaker.  If this was at end of roadblock or detour it would be midday and HOT.

In on-air CBS promo: no shots of Azaria/Henedeka; Kynt/Vyxsin; or TK/Rachel.  Mean anything?

ap,

I was replying to mushpants who kept saying he had solid information about the end of the race. My reply to him was a joke and not intended to be taken seriously. I have no information.
