Camp Tocca 2006 Reunion

[piesmatt]

Here's my pics from this weekend in Tocca, GA. I don't have too many pics up, due to forgeting my other memory stick. Hopefully Buckeye will post the rest soon. All in all, it was a great weekend. We hiked up Mt Currahee, met with vets from the 506 and 501st, saw a WWII reenactment and watched the Army Ranger training battalion parachute from a Blackhawk and fast rope.

The original sleeping quarters from Aldbourne, England. A horse stable that was disassembled and rebuilt exactly the way it was.

3 miles up, 3 miles down is the "currahee" ??

(i don't know if i've writed right)

No, the mountain is named Mt Currahee, Cherokee for "stand alone." The trail pictured, is a 3 mile trail that gets fairly steep at the third mile. The companies would run the hill at least once a day, sometimes twice on their own. If you watch episode one of the Band of Brothers series, it's in there.
