22 July - The Guns of Sokez

After Sunday lunch Jaxon and Scott went for some Father/Son bonding up on Sokez Ridge. There are three big gun emplacements left there by the Japanese after WW2.

 

 Spectacular to look at, even 60 years after the fact.

 

 Pretty glad I wasn't part of the team carrying this up Sokez Ridge.

 

 Jaxon 'needed' to have a look down in the ammunition bunker. His 'need' evaporated in a few short steps once the tunnel got dark.....

 

 The view from the top of Sokez Ridge. Now you can see why I was glad to not have to carry those big guns up all this way.

 

Parts of Pohnpei seem nearly pre-historic, like these massive leaves.
