经过一天的爬山涉水, 上山下坡,我们的第一个晚上是扎营在 DUMP 66(海拔470米).DUMP 66 是位於一小河道旁边平整的地面,一幅战时的供给基地.

士兵Bert Kienzle 在他的日记中记录到:"1942年9月16 日日军不断进攻并占领了IORIBAIWA, 上午10点30分,接到命令,2小时之内撤离出IORIBAIWA 南部的营地DUMP 44。我们撤退到IMITA 山以南建立一个营地称为" 66 " . 这是一个很令人厌倦的一天,小道的双方向都挤满了前方撤退的先头部队以及运送人员来回携带供给和伤员到安全地方.傍晚的暴雨致使携带运送人员不能回到营地. 9月17日,我们用24小时建立了简单帐篷,厕所和医院的营地称DUMP 66, 继续日常供给给前沿兵力."
