Caption: Date: 1968-07 Location: Parsa Description: Wagon with air-inflated tires pulled by bullocks. The tires were unusual on the ox carts, as was the steel frame. Most ox carts had wooden wheels, spokes and frames. The picture was likely taken in Biruwa, the village just east of Biruwa Guthi. Peace Corps Volunteer Bob Nichols is in the cart with his belongings, leaving to return to the United States. The village road is muddy from the monsoon rains.
