    I looked around for another entrance and I think I found it.10 yards or so from the two blocks.

    Right where that red circle is.It's just a tiny opening at the base of the concrete wall.
    I believe they added lots of dirt around the bunker and it covered where the main entrance used to be.

    That opening is tiny, maybe 15 inches or so tall.
    Completely filled with dirt and with some thick vegetation in front.


    No wonder I missed it the first time.

    I got as close as I could be couldn't crawl inside.I wasn't sure what was inside anyway so I used the tripod again to take pictures inside without going in.

    I had the camera on timer mode and couldn't aim it so I got poor pictures.But still I was able get a glimpse of the inside.

    That's what you see from the outside, just a wall.And on the right bottom corner you can see that the ground is now just 20 inches or so from the ceiling.

    Wall in front, wall on the right ... so I took a picture of the left side.

    It looks like you have more room inside once you crawl a few feet.And what looks like a door on the left.
    Could be the main entrance of the bunker. :dunno:

    It turns left, going right towards the center of that large hill where the two blocks are located.

    No graffitis on the walls, so it was probably not visited very often.
    The paint on the concrete still looks brand new ...

    So now I can either climb down the ladder, or crawl down that tiny hole to get inside.
    And I don't like either solutions. :):

    Especially since I have to find a way to climb up that block in order to access the ladder inside.

    Well I would say it would be easier to go down through the small hole .
