Battery Arizona
A new thread, there is certainly a connection between Hawaii and the Philippines in WWII and even in other times. Karl is in Hawaii for one year and that is why we start this new thread.
Battery Arizona walk 8th April 2020
I was not able to enter Battery Arizona but that was not on my plan and I did not bring flash lights. The place is secured anyhow. But to me these are very interesting to walk on the remnants of WWII. Here are two URLs that offer images from history and from inside the tunnel, click here and click here:

I have uploaded 104 pictures of my walk into this Photobucket album. If you are going to look at it, I recommend you click on “slideshow” right away and perhaps even expand the image (that is a choice). The bad thing about the new Photobucket, they still don’t show my image descriptions, here is the URL:
