2009 - #001 - 203k - I am standing in the
saddle connecting Battery Crofton to the island, the wall is at
the bottom. The foot bridge to Battery Crofton is just below me
2009 - #002 - 225k - One comes up these
steps, under that foot bridge and then steps into the entrance to
Battery Koehler
2009 - #003 - 233k - Right is the entrance
to Battery Koehler and left is the foot bridge to Battery
Crofton. One comes up that ravine under that foot bridge
2009 - #004 - 385k - The entrance to Battery
Crofton from the foot bridge. The wall is right at bottom
2009 - #005 - 226k - As I climbed onto the
saddle I noticed this hole; it is just a few feet from where one
enters Battery Koehler coming up from the wall
2009 - #006 - 263k - Apparently steps went
over this hole onto the Battery Koehler tunnel
2009 - #007 - 464k - Now looking down the
calm slip, opposite of the 'Wall' and Desalination Plant ravine
2009 - #008 - 213k - Then I entered the
Battery Keohler entrance. Right is where I came from, the bridge.
More digging has been done here

the bridge meets this tunnel there is renewed digging. (For the
Yamashita Gold- he,he,he). They never learn
2009 - #011 - 224k - The left room
diggings.; I think they were trying to connect to the tunnel

Koehler from the north; it shows war damge. The last 5 images I
took from that entrance
2009 - #013 - 216k - More war damage at

shell killed many scouts while they were waiting for shots
