While hiking to Hamburger Hill we passed through
several villages in the Ashau Valley. This villager still uses a B-52 bomb crater
as a duck pond. |
In April 1994, thanks to Gerry Schooler of Viet Tour
Expeditions (on the left), I made it to the top of Hamburger Hill. There was still
alot of relics of the battle scattered around. Check out the Diary section for
an account of my travels to this battle site. |

While we were looking around the old Special Forces
Camp at Lang Vei these three guys came out of the weeds with this large dud artillery
round strapped to a pole. It probably came from the NVA guns at Co Roc. They said
they would haul it into Khe Sanh village and get about $50 for the powder inside
and the steel casing. The last I saw of them they were bouncing down Highway 9 in
an ox cart with the round strapped in the back. |

the river from The Rockpile. We walked all around the base of it looking for a way
up to no avail. |
