The DMZ

This one day trip consisted of many empty fields requiring ample amounts of imagination to picture them in their war time states. The Tunnels on the other hand were very reminiscent of what life underground with the B-52s constantly over head must have been like. Hundreds of craters still remain from what was once a desolate moonscape created by the dropping of thousands of bombs in an attempt to stem the flow of supplies to the South.
