Got "good" (i.e. politically connected) guide. Went to old haunts, Cu Chi (PAVN tourist trap now) Tay Ninh (found old hooch!)

An Loc and Loc Ninh are very "tired" Reminded me of Southern US towns that died when bypasssed by the Interstate.

Cau Dai temple is still beautiful.

Went up past FSB St. Barbara (we used to launch out of there a lot) to FSB Illingsworth. Friends died there in a huge USARV FUBAR. All grown over now.

Tried to get up into Cambod, but KKK still too active. Found a few places "near" the border where we used to operate. Even found a tree where we had hidden a PRC-25 antenna real high and buried the cable. We would connect to it of we needed to comm, but could usually comm through "Edmund" (radio repeater on top of Nui Ba Den (We named it after Edmund Hillary.

Ah. Good old Noi Ba Den (Old Virgin Mountain). I don't know I'd want to climb it. I am sure there is a lot of unexploded ordnance.
