Ze409. Work is going on many places along the whole road project but this is a sample picture of workers on the new Pangasinan-Nueva Vizcaya Road which follows the old Villa Verde Trail down along the North-South Ridge which runs parallel east and next to the Ambayoan River. This picture was shot on the 13th of June 2019.

Ze408. This is a sample picture of the tough Filipino workers, at a work camp, who can put up with hardship and very poor living condition on a job like this one, the new Pangasinan-Nueva Vizcaya Road which follows the old Villa Verde Trail down along the North-South Ridge which runs parallel east and next to the Ambayoan River. This picture was shot on the 13th of June 2019.

Ze407. This is a Google Earth about the end walk in this album. It is marked up to give the big picture and it is one of 8 images (in the album) with geographic data as we walk down the Vila Verde Trail along the North-South Ridge which runs parallel east and next to the Ambayoan River. We did this on the 13th of June 2019.

Ze406. This is a section on an 1:50000 map and shows the original Post WWII Villa Verde Trail tracks. It is marked up to give the big picture and it is one of 8 images (in the album) with geographic data as we walk down the Vila Verde Trail along the North-South Ridge which runs parallel east and next to the Ambayoan River.

Ze405. This is one of 15 images (in the album); we are passing the area of ridgeline 633, as we walk down the Vila Verde Trail along the North-South Ridge which runs parallel east and next to the Ambayoan River. We did this on the 13th of June 2019. Here we get glimpse back to Hill 1053 and in the very distance are the Salacsac Passes.

Ze400. (-10) this is my speculation that the plaque of the original monument was put on this new monument. This is the SW corner of the San Nicolas Plaza which has this newer Villa Verde 32nd Div. Monument and it has a plaque.

Ze399

Z399. (-09) this is my speculation that the plaque of the original monument was put on this new monument, I do know the wording is exactly the same as it is recorded in the 32nd Div. web pages.

Ze398

Ze398. (-08) this is the SW corner of the San Nicolas Plaza which has a newer Villa Verde 32nd Div. Monument and it has a plaque. I know that the old monument is recorded on the 32nd Div. web pages but the new one is not.

Ze403

Ze403. (-13) our van looks like it went thru some rough spots but it and we made is safely down the Villa Verde Trail from Malico. For safety we had the van follow us walkers. And we seen some impressive vistas and have a better appreciation of what the GIs and their Filipino comrades had to endure.

Ze402. (-12) this is really a very unique fact; the San Nicolas High School, even today has the name: Red Arrow High School. To me that means that the people of this town had a very, very close relationship with 32nd Div. in WWII. I asked about 10 people, grownups and students that it was named after the nickname of the 32nd Div. nobody knew.
