At this point, almost everyone gets dropped off at the skiff so they could return to the dive boat and do the afternoon dive. But I and Susan&Brett Hughes stay behind for an extended tour. It will turn out that this extra will be well worth it.

We take a shortcut across the airfield and checked out the two LVTs that we did the drive by during my first trip.

The LVT-A4 armed with a 75mm howitzer, one 50 cal and two 30cal machine guns.

Not in good shape and our smaller van. The jungle is winning.

During my first trip we drove by this Japanese bunker. I ask to stop.

A door

double door. When first door breached, still another door to go through. The longer that the Marines are exposed.

There are a couple of rooms inside and thus more steel doors inside.

We walked at least 100 yards into the jungle and came across a Army Sherman tank.
