In the Shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
They were on the beach, 6km from their target. It was obvious that if they fought their way through the dense forest it would take them all day to reach their destination.
An alternative was to use the seashore. The tide had gone out, leaving a flat expanse of sand and dark volcanic rock. High tide was marked by a line of weathered driftwood tree trunks, massive and bleached white by the sun. Above that was a densely forested low cliff or bank, with the treeline down at the high tide mark.
They had maps, but only prewar ones. Still, it seemed like their choice of route would be either completely through the forest, along the beach where they would still be out of sight to their destination until the last 2000 metres or so. Or some combination of the two.
