Take a vehicle north from Plekeu on 14 , I don't remember the name of the village but you turn left on , I think it was 512, right in the middle of this village.
512 will take you to dak To.
Actually they were building another Dak To,
Dak To 1 and Dak To 2. Dak to 1 was a special forces camp
Dak to 2 was where the 69th armor, 4th inf. and 173 was .
Dak To 2 has a landing strip for C-130s. You can just barelly see 875 and they'r are no roads to it.
The road was dirt in front of Dak To , but because the VC would mine it every night they had it blacktoped before I left for another adventure.
I remember one night in Oct 67 when we were getting hit really hard, Mortors, rockets, testing our perimiter several locations. I ran down the hill in fromt of a 60 position where this lone guy was. I jumped in his fox hole with him, (Scared the shit out of him) and said Hows it going, got a light? He said what the hell are you doing here, I told him, Just visiting. I fired all 21 of my clips that night, (mostly at nothin) Then walked back up the hill, Never did get his name.
