OK I was there and early in 1969 we were working area off hill 55 at liberty bridge. also running patrols in to arizona territory.

then we moved on too hill 37 and ran patrols to the base of charlie ridge. alot of rice paddies and bobby traps.

last move for me was to the hwy 1- namo bridge area, this is where we went on the operation into elephant valley. we worked the bridge, the village of ap kim lien (adjacent to ESSO storage tanks. on hwy 1 which leads to hai van pass.

hope this helps. question, did you ever meet "doc gann" ? He was doc in late 69-early 70
