Zg649. This picture is the Sinalang Cove Beach from my exploration trip on the 10th Dec. 2023. We noticed 2 structures and a boat and I believed that on our future planed trip to Carabao Island we will check this out. We knew from history that the US Army had structures for maintenance personnel here and structures for water storage or settling.
On the 9th Jan. 2024 we did make a landing here. About 4 dogs greeted us and did their duty and tried to alert their master. It took repeated “Tao Po” until a male person came thru a fence and he turned out to be not too friendly. He was not in uniform and there was no sign as to Military property or no trespassing signs. But all he managed to say, he is a Marine Sergeant, that this beach is restricted that we have to leave immediately and that he has to contact his Commanding Officer. He was not interested as to who we were or to treat us as fellow human residents of the Philippines. Well, that what we did and now I’m really glad that John Moffitt had the plan to attack this project by going down-river from near the Kaybiang Tunnel or we would have been very much disappointed about finding the Fort Frank Waterdam.
