@MrKoolDom Thanks MrKoolDom. The Allies walked across Saipan at arms length trying to find the last Japanese holdouts but still missed many.

Hello - where is Stuey? Did you ever venture into the cave complex around Hill 500, I think that overlooks Aslito Airfield?

@Chester2929 Stewie took the day off, he sure would have loved that adventure though. That would be great to explore Hill 500 although many of the larger Japanese tunnels were sealed shut with bulldozers during and after the battle.

Why do I feel the need to shoot the trees overhead?

@lurch1972 Thanks. I think the jungles around Mt. Tapochao are the most beautiful in Saipan.
