Me too. Mostly Chu Lai South to Quang Nai (sp). area. Took awhile, but we caught a rogue Marine that was killing water buffalo along the route. He said he had no idea how long it took a farmer to purchase one. Just thought they were an ugly animal and need to die. Even in the Corps, we had a few fruit cakes.Sgt USMC

Re: polish29 1966 Hwy 1 between Hue and Dong Ha.
I don't know what the hill was call back then, but its known as Kha Bao Ton Thien, which means that it is designated now as a game reserve. Has a elevation 1,173 if this is the one?
Back then it was near the Ho Chi Minh trail.
A couple of clicks south of that was the famous battle of hill 881, that took place in May of 1967, where Marine losses totaled 155 dead and 425 wounded after capturing the hill.
