LZ_Tuffy_-_Jarisch_and_Medley.JPGLZ Tuffy - 197087 viewsClean up time. (L to R: Eugene "George" Jarisch and Mike Medley). When those of us in the advance party (that didn't find the punji stakes) out of the 4 slicks that made it, we were stranded in the clouds without commo, in the mud inundated with 50 gallon drums of persistent CS. Each morning, a dink from the group on the overlooking ridgeline would come up the draw and let off a clip trying to get us to fire back to locate our 60s. It was only fitting that the three-holer (top left in photo) was placed in that shitty location. I was hesitant to use it since it was on the draw and left one's backside facing the dinks on the opposing ridgeline.

Pleiku_Street_Scene.JPGPleiku series87 viewsLooking down the street in Pleiku. Notice the girl in the Ao Dai (dress). As she saw me starting to take the picture, she covered her face. I think this has something to do with the belief that the picture would take their soul. {Webmaster: Yes...this happened a lot}
