Ze391

Ze391. (-01) this is the older 1945 32nd Div. Red Arrow Monument, without a plaque, and it is broken now. It has been moved by the road contractor to the left side of the Cabalisian River within the last 2 or 3 years during the new road and bridge construction.

Ze397

Ze397. (-07) again here is a Google Earth image for your orientation as to where the two 32nd Div. Monuments are.

Ze396

Ze396. (-06) this is an Aug. 2014 image of the Cabalisian River crossing by the Villa Verde Trail. The older 1945 32nd Div. Red Arrow Monument, without a plaque, was sitting on the right river bank and was partially buried in a tilted way by the river sand. It was not broken yet. I was able to follow about 7 km up the Villa Verde Trail at that time and I walked to the point where the Villa Verde trail splits up according to my map.

Ze383

Ze383. (-20) this is a shot across the Malico Village fields; they are between a line of low hills and the foot hills of Mt. Imugan are in back; the GIs called it the Yamashita Ridge. Fog was often present; it is about 1300 meter elevation here.

Ze382. (-19) this is a larger view of the Malico Village fields; they are between a line of low hills and the foot hills of Mt. Imugan at right. This image is from Randy Anderson.

Ze390

Ze390. (-29) this is one of several images of little shops having been developed within the last year, just outside the Malico Village Entrance, along the Villa Verde Trail Road. Here are two new vendors at the right side of the entrance to Malico. We had a noon snack here.

Ze389

Ze389. (-27) this is the entrance road and gate to the Malico Village, the distance from the new road is only about 50 meters. This copy is marked up.

Ze388

Ze388. (-26) this is one of several images of little shops having been developed within the last year, just outside the Malico Village Entrance, along the Villa Verde Trail Road. This is a view coming back from the Malico View Point.

Ze387

Ze387. (-25) this is the new Pangasinan-Nueva Vizcaya Road descending, following the Villa Verde Trail. This section is on the west side of the Caraballo Mountain Spur. This project is like holding a tiger by the tail; they are dealing with this kind of problem at several places already.
