    Thumbs up 'Mysterious" Viet Nam Memorial near Gunnison

    Tried searching but didn't see anything so apologies if this is a repost:

    http://www.military.com/video/operat...2805626482001/

    This video was taken by some dirt bike riders along the continental divide, who stumble upon a Vietnam memorial in the woods.

    As usual the government is non committal ....evidently hunters and possibly some vets must be aware of it as there are numerous 7.62x51 and 30.06 rounds and coins on the ledges between the stones. Park rangers apparently work to keep it off maps.

    If you had anything to do with this,

    Thank you for the post. Should never be posted on a map and should be left as a "word of mouth" memorial with the humble solitude presumably intended.

    There is a link that shows the location in the OPs link.

    I think I just found my first expedition with the LC.

    Best way to get in to see me at the shop is to call or email Shannon and make an appointment.

    It really is not some sort of government cover up and it is on the USFS land use map. Many people in the area know about it, it was a grass roots effort and there is a story with it that i can not remember but i am sure if you ever find your self in the town of Sargents, go into the dinner or general store and they will tell you about it. It is a beautiful memorial with a beautiful view and if you dirt bike some great trails that lead up to it. Tmleadr you may want to go up there in the fall so you can see the liberty bell the aspen trees make near by.
