Zf173. A Navy Ship in Subic Bay, the 10th of June 2021. This is the first U.S. Navy ship I have seen in Subic Bay since my return to the Philippines on the 21st of Nov. 2020. I assume, because of the pandemic of the COVID 19 from Red China, no Navy ships have visited. […]

Zf176. I checked the www and found this image in the Naval Task Force 71 Facebook page. Apparently the USNS Pecos T-AO 197 was operating with, supplying the TF-71 on the 8th of June 2021 in this greater neighborhood. The guard at the commercial circle (in the first picture) told me that the USNS Pecos […]

Zf164. The Rocky, Monolith Peak or Peaks of Mount Balakibok. This peak or these peaks are prominent visible from just about anywhere in Olongapo. The Kalaklan Ridge leads to the peaks and a road and power lines to the Dizon Mine run along the ridge. The power lines are gone now and the road is […]

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.

Zf168

Zf168. A view down-river the Matain River Valley and we have the grand Subic Bay Vista. On this side, several times, did I have this view or the Kalaklan Ridge across the valley.

Zf167

Zf167. My track in the Matain River Valley to the Dizon Mine Pass zoomed in. In the valley the trail was a pretty good trail, easy to follow. But near my goal the tracks became many and were confusing. There was much animal activity (tracks or disturbed soil, grounds) on top, under the pass but […]

Zf166. This Google Earth image gives the big picture how my walk and views relate to the bigger geographic area. I think pictures without subscriptions are not very interesting most of the time.
