4:40 Original chapel from WW2....just past this (south) is the white memorial for the Marines who died in the attack. Check out corresponding pictures IMG0043IMG0047. There is a monument to the Japanese who died during the attack as well. You can't see this in the vid, but pics IMG0050IMG0055.
4:50 Base Ops. Its where all personnel must process when landing or leaving the island. You can get a Wake Island stamp in your passport here. Unforutnately, as I explained, you must be on official orders to get to Wake Island.
5:045:17 Just further south down the road from base ops....basically the bottom of the horseshoe part of Wake. Some old bunkers here.

7:107:40 Moving up the southern leg of Wake island
7:44 I am zooming in on the gap between Wake and Peale islands. There used to be a bridge connecting the two islands, but it burned down in 2000. No one really knows why the fire started but it's assumed that a cigarette or possibly someone barbequing on the bridge started the fire. All that is left are the rusty supports. See IMG0069, IMG0071, IMG0183 and IMG0207 for the supports. As an interesting side note to the elevated bridge, If you look at IMG0197, you can see what is left of the Japanese built "walking bridge". I believe the elevated bridge was not completed at the time of the Wake Island takeover by the Japanese so the Japanese chose to build a walking bridge between Wake and Peale that could be used at low tide. Parts of it still remain to this day and can be used during low tide. I walked on it myself the day before I took this picture and it is quite an experience.
8:089:25 A newly discovered, American built bunker. Colin's guys had just found this right before I arrived. I was there in Aug 2012, so his guys must have found it June/July 2012.
