A recent C-17 arrival with my Satcom work center on a plateaued cinder cone. |
Pan-Am Beach. |
A machine to make aggregate out of lava rock. |
The aggregate (fine and coarse) is used for construction. |
Headed up Cross Hill then down to Georgetown. |
The peak of Cross Hill on a rainy day. |
Views of Georgetown. |
The guns of Fort Bedford overlooking Georgetown. |
Long Beach with a radar installation to the right. |
Guns were placed here during WWII. |
The guns are from the battleship HMS Hood. There are seats and rotating handles on each side to adjust the azimuth and elevation. |
Another interesting read. |
These old muzzle-loading cannons were used during WWI. |
They weigh 6 1/2 tons each and were used on WWI battleships. |
Cross Hill in the background. |
Another view of Cross Hill shows the two range markers to enter Georgetown Harbor. |
Another interesting day exploring. |
