Thanks much. Those were great to see.

Seeing the camp like that makes one feel like a relic from a bygone era.:(

I am wondering if they are still there now. I passed by on B13 this summer and there was no signage or anything. I didn't catch the turn off, but it was the first time I had looked for it in a long time.

I did go climbing at Bichl though (known as Heilbrunn to the locals) and walked the Brauneck-Benediktenwand trail. Had a nice Apfelstuedel at the Toelzerhaus too.

Damn I miss that place...

...

I think the sign was gone in 2005 when I visited. I missed the turnoff a couple times. It was strange to see everything grown over and falling apart, but I think the most disheartening thing was Flint Kaserne turned into a shopping mall. Seems a bit disrespectful.

It is sad what they have done to the place and I miss those days of walking through history on the way to the teamroom. But I also miss the people and the area that surrounded that history. Iam glad that I got the chance to be stationed there and experience southern Bavaria.

It was sad that the US Army/US Government gave it up. They really didn't have to... Well, I believe they could have found a way to keep it at least...

As to disrespectful... Not sure what the Germans could have done with it, especially now that they are venturing out into international military deployments.

The Junkerschule has bad vibes for the Germans and everyone loves to remind them of "those days", even if most of those turds are dead.

CONCUR.

The very best assignment (1982 - 1985) in my 29 years of AFS. I miss the beautiful mountains, forests, villages and homes. It was picture book perfect, an enchanting time of my life. Prior to my last assignment in Germany (1998), my wife and I drove down to Bad Tolz and visited the sights. It broke my heart to see the condition of the Kaserne.

At one time, the beauty was beyond belief and that day it was home to a traveling circus and several elephants.

I hate looking at the new pictures of my adopted home kaserne, I just prefer to remember the way it was.

Roger that ! After I'm done having all those Reutbergs and Augustiners for you Gentlemen I might apply for a membership with the local AA group (if there is such a thing in Bavaria...;) ).

Just came back from a skiing trip to the Ötztal. Reminded me of the days at Brauneck when some of you had the ski training and I was tagging along...
