Two years ago, a group of singing herdsmen from Mongolia traveled to Elko, Nevada, for a musical exchange with a group of singing cowboys from the American West. In September, the herdsmen hosted their American counterparts on the Mongolian steppe. Hal Cannon of the Western Folklife Center went along on a road trip to Genghis Khan's ancient capital of Karakorum.Now, I have never been to Mongolia, nor have I been to isolated northeastern Nevada, but I have seen pictures of both, and I'm guessing the arid valleys amidst tall hills and not-so-tall mountains might make the two places similar, minus the grass in Mongolia. I haven't listened to the piece yet, but I thought the Marmot might want to hear it.

Thus I bagged all of mine with a .22 pistol. Now I feel like a cannibal! As a teenager, I found that by whistling, they would stick their heads up out of their burrows to see what was going on.

It is sealed up again and left to cook from the inside out for two hours. This dish is known as Bodok." I knew there was a connection between this site and me. “The head and insides are removed, then the meat is stuffed back inside along with red-hot stones.
