DY-31c.JPGThen and Now116 viewsNext, I went on Google Earth to look at that location. In this screen print, you can find the same notch. I then used the mileage feature on Google Earth to measure the exact distance from that location back to the intersection where Hwy 19 and Hwy 14 split. I showed that picture to our driver so he could measure the distance on the odometer. Again, it's not a dramatic comparison, but the topography is the same. I
had a lot of fun just preparing for the trip.

DY-32.JPGThen & Now: the search for Base Camp116 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.
