I visited both Tinian and Peleliu this past spring on a tour. I wonder how much of each island will be off limits in the future.

That's pretty cool to see those old runways reclaimed from the over growth. Reminds me of the old run ways on Matagorda Island.

I'm heading to Palau for a few months this summer. Might see about checking out this old air strip.
