Then & Now: the search for Base Camp Our guide pointed out this road leading into our base camp area. Something about that looked awfully familiar. I've attached the picture along with a Google Earth screen print, marked with an "x" to show where the picture was taken. So close, and yet so far. According to my letters home, base camp moved to an area south of Pleiku, probably Enari, in May of 1967.
