BULL WHIP Part 8

Days 3 and 4 of BULL WHIP brought with it some interesting weather, and miserable conditions. Temperatures fluctuated rapidly between 60 and 85 degrees. The sun was relentless when it was out, while the wind BLEW. We also encountered rain, snow, hail and fog.

Clouds rising up from the valley floor, engulfing OP2.

"Waterproofing" a fighting position.



Lt Col filler climbing inside of a garbage bag for warmth. I think he later regretted packing so light. Later that night, he was in radio contact with a B1B Lancer. He was having a hard time hearing them, and explained that he was inside a garbage bag getting hailed on. They laughed and said they were glad we had some ice to go with our drinks. I couldn't help but wonder if it was Butters and Joker up there.
