For historical correctness I would like to correctly identify the dirt road which went by Firebase Bastone and continued toward the Ashau Valley where the intense firefight occured. It was known as road 547. NVA coming down the Ho Chi Minh trail would make a left turn into Vietnam entering road 547. It was big enough for the NVA to move tanks trucks and other military supplies and ammunition into the Ashau Valley which until the 101st arrived was their safe haven.
It is an established fact that some of the most intense fighting of the Vietnam war was fought in the Ashau Valley. If you need a reference, read the description of Operation Delaware in the Republic of Vietnam.
