Thanks. Good links. And I guess I used the wrong word in "hatch". I
know
they
didn't go out the hatch to get to the LEM. I just wondered if the
tunnel to
the
LEM was always unobstructed or if they had to move anything to get to
it.

I believe it was unobstructed.

they had to remove the docking prope before using the tunnel

Docking probe, not prope, but otherwise correct. Note though that the
probe was on the *unpressurized* side of the hatch in the tunnel, so it
didn't pose an obstruction until after that hatch was opened.


Exactly. I assumed the original poster meant between the main crew area and
the hatch, not after the hatch ;-)

But in case I'm wrong, Jeff and Bob(with spelling corrected ;-) are correct.

I'd personally consider the CM's docking probe to be "outside" of the
CM. In other words, I thought your original answer was quite
sufficient. ;-)
