Sunrise over Tailside from Monkey Pt.	2d Day, Sunday, 20 Feb. 2005: Using a CFI jeepney hired by CDSG, we got off where the road enters the airfield. Crossing the field a little diagonal to the right, and then through the brush we promptly hit Road Junction 11 and proceeded to North Point. After looking over the gun position we searched for the machine gun emplacement further down and found what we believed it must be. Only one concrete wall (2 feet high), east, was left, the rest had disappeared to the beach about 30 feet below. The USN Intercept tunnel was next.  First we looked at the entrances and the air shaft on the north side of the road. Then we hooked around from the west, milled around by the main entrance, looked at all the mast stumps, the racket ball wall, the BBQ place and continued around to the east until we got back to the road. Exiting that way we came across one more machine gun position as indicated on the map, but it was destroyed. About 250 yards further west on the road, on the south side, is a large rectangle concrete slab but trees are growing on it everywhere. It is right adjacent to the road. I think it must have had a USN connection because out of it are two of the same type of antenna masts sticking out of the concrete base socket are part of it. Battery Maxwell Keys was our next goal and we looked it over thoroughly and took our pics. It was explained to me the chain link type wire at the entrances were part of the camouflage. My landmark for finding the battery is to find the concrete steps to the Scout Barracks go about a 150 yards east on the road and penetrate south. Denver Tunnel was our next goal. We entered the South Rd just left of the Philippine Heroes Memorial entrance to a point where I now picked two large trees as landmark. The CDSG hit it right away, actually it was Ron, we entered and explored it, took pics and than penetrated straight south to the beach to find the next goal. -The next goal was the east balloon hangar. We found it actually easier to go back on the road about 150 yards west from Denver Tunnel and go down a road which becomes a creek washout path about halfway down. It ends at the deepest penetration of the bay just west of Cavalry Pt. About 150 yards west from here on the Beach, which may the deepest penetration or the most southern point ,one goes up a small ravine about 120 yards and " Bingo", there it is. Note: Poor folks are living here and actually collect plastic bottles and other plastic trash to sell it. On the way back to lunch we stopped briefly at Road Junction 43 and Ron showed Tony and I the entrance to the RJ 43 Tunnel. I judged easy to enter but didn't; it will be done  another time. We also looked at the air shaft. Afternoon: The Engineering Tunnel was our first task and Ron took us right to it. Only two of us went inside. The main tunnel is lined.  CDSG says locomotives could drive right into it. I didn't measure but I judge it to be about 50 paces long. About 15 feet from the end a lateral tunnel was dug to the right / west and is about 30 feet long, not lined and connects the main tunnel with a parallel tunnel. The parallel tunnel and the lateral are not lined and are smaller in height and width. Some places are wet and muddy. The parallel may have been open also towards the Engineering Ravine. The next job we tackled wrong. There is a large Ordnance Warehouse on the trolley line, in the Engineers Ravine, but now we know, it is located about 100 yards east of the Engineering Tunnel. Right east of it is a massive destroyed trolley bridge over a ravine and maybe 100 feet east of it is the path that workers take from  the Engineering Ravine to the Row-Houses. What we did wrong was we walked a lot deeper into the Engineering Ravine then cut left up to the trolley line and then doubled back east a long, long way. But we found it that way and came down the way I described how one should go up. When we were down we were able to get some cold sodas in cans from a little Sari Sari store there. We waited for the CFI secretary to open the CFI storeroom in the old cold stores building. CDSG wanted to pow wow about the picture project for the museum and ascertain how bad the replaced pics were. We were surprised how big and deep the old cold storage building goes into the hill and in how good shape it was inside. We went up to  Battery Way  and s checked out thoroughly the duck-walk tunnel and a large culvert nearby under the Hospital road. We found a frame / chassis for an AA machine gun at the other end of the culvert, on the surface. The hotel event department apparently built a sturdy wooden ladder out from the other end of the duck-walk tunnel. Also I noticed the long, but smaller, lateral tunnel running to the right, in a right angle from the end of the duck-walk tunnel.  Tony looked over Battery Way in detail and took many pics. Finally we looked at the Communication place right next to  Battery Way, right side. Steps lead down to it. On the way back we stooped at the double steps Magazine which CDSG said was for a single 3 in AA gun which they showed me on the map. This is located to the left side of the road going down from Middleside. Last year Paul Whitman showed it to us and I noted one tree with the # I-92 (south-side) and a meter size concrete cube on the other side as landmarks. Our Hawkeye member "Tony" soon spotted the tell tale sign of the key-hole concrete base for the gun as indicated on the map. The powder-can defense position at the south entrance is still there,  as is the air shaft. NOW it was Miller Time for me, the CDSG folks prepared to go to Battery Grubbs for sunset - judging by Tony's pics they were rewarded.
