Ze052-02 a section of the Ft. Mills (Corregidor Island) 1936 Facility Drawing showing the Abbott Trail road between intersections 91 to 94 via 93. EXO and I walked this road, trail about 10 years ago and I remember the walk distinctly because we surprised 2 men sawing a good size tree and they run when they noticed us. It was also a difficult walk because the trail was grown over bad at many places and note; we did not see anything noteworthy on that trail. Re the sawing of the tree, we were told, it was to repair a structure.
