DY-32.JPGThen & Now: the search for Base Camp98 viewsOne of my goals on this trip was to find the location of the 2/9th base camp we had when I arrived in country in July, 1966. The first bit of evidence came when I found a picture online taken several years after we were there, and the person identified the picture as Engineer Hill. But I still didn't know where exactly that was.
