Hello every one, I jave read some interesting things about old Planet Gurp, Some of them good and some sad times, but Gurp was the best place I ever got stationed. I was in HHD, and HHC 299, i was in Gurp twice from Nov 1983 until May 1985 and right back in Oct 1987 til Jul-1991, I just had to say I miss those wurst with curry salt and fries !! Take care Goepping Family, you will always be in my heart !!! |

The good ole Yak Shak.....i miss it too. I was only a young child when we were in Gurp, but I have a lot of memories. I remember walking from post to downtown to go shopping and stopping by the yak shak for lunch. That was great! |

YES!! The Yak Shack!! That little hole in the wall I used to goto outside of the main gate with my collection of change for a currywurst, fries and a coke when I ran out of cash for the burger bar (E3 pay didn't go too far in the late 80s). Simple, yet good times!! |

Yes, I remember the YAK Shack too. The wurst and gummies. I can honestly say that since Gurp, I have been back to Germany 2 more times and I have yet to find any place that sells wurst like the YAK Shack (if at all). |

Does anyone remember the proprietor of the Yak Shack's name? It was Stereo. And his Brother's name was Hi-Fi.And his sister's name was Reel to Reel. I'm sorry, I couldn't help my self. That was one of the more memorable expediences of my time on the Planet. Those were the best Pomme Frites on the entire face of the Earth, I do declare. |

Served at Göppingen 87-88, and fondly remember the Yak Shack after an evening hanging out at The Red Ox, shooting pool. "Eine wurst und Pomme Frits, mit eine bier, bitte.". Nice nitecap. 
I guess that's all gone now, along with we GI's. Thanks, Göppingen, for your hospitality, and putting up with our antics for so long. |

I also remember the Yak Shack all the little kids from the housing area would come and get candy and chips. I would give out spare change and that would make their day. What a wonderful time in my life only 18 I was a kid myself. |
