I had the privilege of being one of the hundreds of thousands who completed this road march. I am proud of it. My legs are my biggest prize and they get the best kudos. My legs are Special Forces legs. Thanks to my training at Ft. KNOX, KENTUCKY.
Got the “thrill” of marching over Misery & Agony at Ft. Knox in early 1968, at the start of the Tet Offensive.
Trying to find out how STEEP Agony Hill is/was. Any advice appreciated.
Trying to find these on a map as my memory is a bit foggy after not seeing them in 26 years. I can find on Google Earth the old Disney Barracks and those places, but can’t seem to pinpoint where they are along with the gas chamber. I think that was back towards the old reception barracks near the new HRC. Can anyone help me with map locations for the three hills and the gas chamber?
