I think I found it based on one of the readers directions....Off the beaten path up a hill with a mountain behind it and there it was///well all I could see was the front gate and it was locked Dont forget about the POL Pumping station that once existed on the side of a hill heading back from Seoul...closed in the early 90s taken over by the ROK Army then abandoned. Yes left turn from Stanley and go about 8 miles and its on the left...you wont see it I visited Camp Page today too....Still nothing has been done to this camp...what a waste of a great camp....I say reopen the beotch While in Chuncheon I found another war memorial today....On the banks of the river not far from Page...Well done status again...artillery piece that looked like the took a 105mm and covered with bronze///too cool except it was only for the Koreans...all Korean Soldiers and everything in Hangul.....but they did continue to reference 6-27-1950. All the Soldiers had American weapons and artillery but I am thinking at this point in the war they had not had time to be given American gear yet...just a thought Also there was a small car ferry there/// a barge and a small boat//// Thought about taking the plunge but I kept imagining the storyline Ferry overturns in the river with one American on board....no survivors yea each day if I dont water mine I have to soon get rid of my plants too
