1968. Looking West. The yellow notes pretty much tell the story. You might say we lived on the edge. I remember the night of TET 68 and manning the M60 on the fence to the right. Right beside the rest of you. Feb 68. Dragon Mountain is in view in top right corner beyond the dump smoke. (Bob Young Photo)
















1969. Dragon Mountain is located at the Northeast corner of Camp Enari. It could be seen from a great distance by the air crews and was a major navigation reference point. (Mike McCarthy Photo)
