Pierce, Having an enjoyable time following your walks. It is a misconception that cameras are inanimate objects. They can be friends who take us for walks. Thanks for the effort in posting them. When you get to Day 2, can you put it on a fresh thread, which will assist in giving the series prominence.

29 March 2016 Welcome to "phibco", who writes: "Hi, grew up in Boston with an old friend (Chief Frank Margiotto) telling me stories of 1939-1941 on the rock. He served at Monkey Point tunnel on the Rock. He was captured but never gave any details on his captivity; he was repatriated in a coal mine prison camp in Fukuoka Japan. He's long passed but I often think about him. I've never seen any info on the Monkey Point Navy Intercept Tunnel or have any idea about the facility. Is there anything available?" Answer: Phibco, there are numerous mentions of the naval intercept tunnel sprinkled through our website, including an article by Don Abbott and Field Notes by John Moffitt. Others can be found if you google variations of Station Cast Tunnel Afirm Corregidor. Here's an example. We also have two articles by Capt. Duane Whitlock, U.S.N. (Ret'd), one called "Station C - Corregidor As I Remember It" and the other "The Silent war Against The Japanese Navy". - Registrar

Came across a website today that values websites according to the number of unique visitors and page views daily, extrapolating these figures to potential earnings per day if advertising was present on the site, and then to the value of the site. Of course, this made me somewhat depressed.
