DY-32d.JPGThen & Now: the search for Base Camp99 viewsUnfortunately, when we got there, we found it was a restricted area (we couldn't even stop for pictures), so the attached picture is the best I could come with. Oh, how I would have liked to have been able to walk around that hill once more.

DY-32e.JPGThen & Now: the search for Base Camp99 viewsOur guide pointed out this road leading into our base camp area. Something about that looked awfully familiar. I've attached the picture along with a Google Earth screen print, marked with an "x" to show where the picture was taken. So close, and yet so far.
According to my letters home, base camp moved to an area south of Pleiku, probably Enari, in May of 1967.

LZ_Lois_-_Inside_FB.JPGLZ Lois - Internal View of the FB 99 viewsI don't have many pictures of LZ Lois since I went on R&R to Hawaii a couple of weeks after leaving LZ St George and didn't have film until then. Spent very little time there since I went on a hip shoot to LZ Marie and then they called us back and moved the Brigade over the mountains to LZ Radcliffe and then on to LZ Tuffy.
