Nothing is more appreciated to those of "Children of the Sand" who lived and grew under the brilliant night stars and the blazing sun than to be taken to a place of peace for all mankind.

As the "Ship of the Desert" has in recorded history carried all of history, then so be it that we choose to see the Camel as our transport to another place upon our leaving this earthly life. When a Camel gets to an age where the time has come for the Camel to go, is it not right that the aged, dark skinned Camel, carry our beloved family to an oasis in peace.

Thus we have chosen the "Black Camel" as our observance of a great event. The passing on one of all to a better place. Considered the most significant of events, should not we be honored by the trip upon this faithful beast of burden to both his and our last resting place? The light the Black Camel goes to with grace and dignity is only right, for he carries our most valuable passenger. One of us that has made the last trip and the Black Camel is taking us home.

Everyone is encouraged to send in information and pictures to the editor to help us update the Black Camel Page.
