After we left Dalat, headed back to Saigon, we stopped 8-10mi. out of town at Prenn Falls. This is one of several falls in the area. You pay a small fee to enter, and it has a bit of a theme park atmosphere to it. As you enter, there are several psuedo thatched roof structures selling drinks, food, and souveniers.
I escorted convoys from Cam Ranh Bay, through Phan Rang, and up the climb to Dalat. There was a Special Forces camp and an aviation outfit on a small airstrip near here that we hauled fuel to. I don't remember seeing any of the falls from the road back then. Always thought this was some beautiful country. It was deceiving, though. We made contact with Charlie up here sometimes.
In FEB67 did a small operation about 30mi. from here around a place called Bao Lac with the 101st. It was also an area of some dramatic waterfalls.

Phu Quoc is a mountainous island that's covered in rain forest. The whole interior is government property and a preserve. Not too many of these in Nam. During the war there was a POW camp run by the ARVN's on the island, so it saw virtually no fighting in it's interior. It's one of the few places you can go on a hike in the jungle and have a good chance of spotting monkeys and other wildlife. Also, not having to worry about left behind booby traps or ordinance. We were hoping to spot some monkeys on this short jaunt from the car. Didn't see any, but it was a beautiful spot none the less.
