Default Cua Viet River
Made many trips from Cua Viet to Dong Ha to Quang Tri. Also went down Perfume river, pretty darn good map, better than the one we had on the PBR, couldn't hardly read that one. I remember VC blew up the railroad bridge in Dong Ha, a couple of times, can't really remember the dates any more, had just left to escort an LCM back down to the coast when it went up
