Bill Cook's conversations

This road is no longer as smooth as it once was...in 2000, i took it in a 1984 LTD and only got stuck once, (high-centered on a stream crossing) A regular pickup with decent ground clearance will make it, but you're gonna lose some paint on both sides.

vnvetlester said: Hello Bill,Thanks for the comments on my photo's.I was looking at the Hornet and thought about the tour I went on of the Yorktown at Charleston,Sc.They are some big ships.You mentioned the tunnel near Da Nang,you can view it good on google earth.I would like to go and see that myself.Look how much Chu Lai where I was stationed has changed.There are oil refineries and factory's everywhere. Bill Cook replies: Chu Lai has no VN meaning. It's Chinese for Krulak, the general who thought that swamp was a good place for a base. We do business with a shop in Saigon. Excellent product, good price. And liked the food there too.

I also went on 2 or 3 convoys from phu bai to danang and back. I am thinking about in a year or two going back to viet nam on a vacation. Bill Cook replies: These were big, like chimpanzees, not little monkeys. Did the same convoys. Understand Hai Van Pass is now a tunnel. Been to Saigon on business, not yet back to I Corps. Hue is on the bucket list.
