Those minefields were still there in the late 80's. I went outside of our vehicle one day and walked a little ways down the trail to take a leak. In the process washed the dirt off an M-14 mine. Good thing it didn't go off as i was "exposed"; maybe i'd be called shorty now if it had.... ::
There were still no civilians in the area I was in last tour. But lots of pheasants, and the pigs as well. Seldom saw the deer, they seemed very shy. I was north of Huachon with a ROK Division Recon Battalion. One hour by dirt road to pavement, then another hour on pavement to the nearest US installation at Camp Page. Great duty. Nobody messed with you. Learned a lot that tour. I actually think I'd go back.
