Searchlight No. 2 2018-07-07
On the 7th July 2018 I made a walk on Corregidor from Bottomside to Searchlight No.2. This album is only about the searchlight condition on that date at the height of strong rainy period.
As usual I cut straight down from the North Shore Road and that approach took me across the searchlight shelter. In other words I used a left hook. Previous times I ended up making a right hook and then had to descend into the searchlight area by the searchlight control structure. That might have been more difficult this time due the underbrush.
The searchlight track where the end over the cliff has fallen down was completely grown over and I did not dare going even near the cliff there. Also I failed to have a closer look at the two tunnels this time.
The 14 picture of this Searchlight #2 visit are uploaded into this Photobucket album:

Note from Karl:
PictureZ105, Z109, Z110 and Z116 will not open on my PC screen. I then added the URLs for the IGM thumb for those four (4) pictures. When I click those IMG thumb icon, it opens but only partially. When I clicked on the arrow for the next image and clicked back the whole picture showed.
Would some of you please give a feed back as to what you experiences.

Z108. Before I climbed down into the search light station I shot this picture of the searchlight control structure, at least that is what we think it is.
