There was a rather "Comical" event where a SOG Recon Team ran across a similar cache!! When they sent the message that they had "Bicycles", they had overlooked the "Code-Words" of that day and the Command thought that they had some VERY HIGH ranking Officers of the NVA!!!
I believe that it was from CCS and the "Bicycle" that they brought back became a Compound Fixture!!!
