Sounds like we've walked common ground. Humped to Stinson many times, but never got on Dottie. I didn realize that a road to Stinson was built in '71. Thou I know one exists now as one of our guys has been back several times and shared pictures.
I'm on my way now through Iowa to attend our Company reunion in Minneapolis. I've reconnected with a number of guys I served with and have found the bonds we formed still remain.
I've seen a number of your posts and wondered what part of Iowa you are in. I'm from the IL Quad Cities.

We stay at an RV park in Grimes during the summer, which is a suburb on the north west side of Des Moines.
The road to Stinson was built starting in March of '71 I believe. Not sure when it was completed as I moved from company RTO to battalion RTO in May of '71.
I was in Basic with a guy who ended up in the 1/52. His name was Arlin Stratman who was from Nebraska.
