Howdy Mr. Canfield;
Yep, that's right. The road between My Tho and Dong Tam was TL 25. See map at http://www.nexus.net/~911gfx/vietnam/maps/nc48-07/nc48_07f.html . Sometimes my platoon, 3rd Plt., B Co., 2nd Bn. (Mech), 47th Inf. Rgt., would be assigned to convoy escort duty. We would accompany the trucks from Saigon down QL 4, take road 256 down to Ap Quai, then to Dong Tam on TL 25. On the way back, however, when we didn't have any trucks to guard, we would take TL 25 almost all the way into My Tho and then head north on a dirt road to rejoin QL 4. So, I must have passed right by Camp Viking a few times. Sorry, I don't have any photos of the place. We spent most of our time up in Long An Province.
