From left to right are Tom Stone, we served together on the USS Coucal 1975-77, Carlito Pickering a long retired air dale Sailor who has retired earlier and has lived longer in Subic Bat then me, we are good friends, Charlie Moser and I.

Zf687. From left to right are, Bill Loudermilk, Karl Welteke, Rick Storment and Charlie Moser. Rick is 20 years younger than me. He served both with Bill Loudermilk and me as a Seaman or as a young Petty Officer; he was a Gang-Ho Sailor then and now! Again, I don’t remember where, maybe at Rick’s […]

Zf165. After I reached the pass, I followed a trail up the ridge to the left and followed the road down to the Dizon Mine but it was so grown over that I could not go further without a bolo or machete. Only once was I able to get a glance of the Dizon Mine, […]

Zf172. Total elevation gain for this walk, hike was 527 meter, not bad for this 79 year young stud and it is hot here, especially this month!

Zf171

Zf171. Here is the toilet station, the throne lying outside, though. I assume it was used in the early 90s as an observation point to watch for the Mt. Pinatubo Lahar rushing down the Marella River.

Zf170

Zf170. This is the Dizon Mine Pass area zoomed in. I remembered a road that went up the ridge to the left and that was the trail I first came across and I followed it up. It did have an end and there was a small toilet. I assume it was used as a lookout […]

Zf169

Zf169. This is the actual Dizon Mine Pass, looking toward the mine direction. The Dizon Mine road veers immediately to the right and runs down just parallel under the ridge line, on the Dizon Mine side.
