| Figure B20. Kashgar. The CMG-3ESP sitting on one of three piers in
the Kashgar vault. We later covered the sensor with an insulated box, although
the temperature in the vault is fairly constant. The wire in the left center going
up is the GPS cable which gets to the surface though an air vent.

| Figure B21. Kashgar. Grossly underexposed picture of the DAS and HDD at
the other side of the vault. Sorry about that.
| |
| Figue D8. Kashgar. The remaining pictures were taken on a day of tourism in
the old part of Kashgar. This is the Idrah mosque, built in 1442. The sign in the entrance
to the mosque notes that, among other behavior, "shouting and breaking wind" are forbidden.

| Figue D9. Kashgar. Typical architecture.
| |
| Figue D10. Kashgar. More architecture in the market.
| |
| Figue D12. Kashgar. Having tea in one of the restaurants with the chief of the
Kashgar observatory.
| |
| Figue D13. Kashgar. The fabric section of one of the big market places. The red
in this picture is real and is due to the covering over the shops.
| |
| Figue D14. Kashgar. Entrance to one of the main markets; apparently a converted mosque.
| |
| Figue D15. Kashgar. Dressmakers. They made a dress for me (for my daughter Gretchen) from
Uzbek silk in about 6 hours.
