EP3: 'Please, Lord, Give Me Milk !'
apskip:
I noted the camel(singular, not plural since I saw only one) crossing over the rail line behind the rail car. It does raise an interesting question of how camels are available where the rail line is since there is no evidence I have found of any around Ouagadougou or Kaya. There are several possibilities:
1. There is somewhere between Ouagadougou and Kaya that has camels.
2. The rail line has been extended north to a place that has camels.
3. Since there are over 15000 camels in the country, a stray camel being sighted along the existing rail line is no particular big deal and the real camel action is still in Gorom-Gorom.
It should not surprise you that I believe option #3 is much more probable than the other 2 options. My rationale is that the Sahel-like conditions that we see in the screencaps involving camels are best found in the Sahel.

Someone is leading this camel, the blondes I think and I'll try to get a better screenshot later

Where do we think the leading of the camels takes place in the episode? Before/After RB -- if it's before the blondes are behind because they are leading them as the storm is coming.

I have found a railroad leading out of Kaya, though it only shows at a very low resolution on this software I am trying to follow it.

ok i have followed that railway line and it goes all the way to the Niger border pretty much, bar about 3 miles. I can post screen shots however it only shows if I am at a 6 mile scale. Could be a few pictures.
I think this is up to date information i have just (last week)tracked my brother through Kenya via GPS
