Gadao’s Cave Inarajan, Guam
By Storm104 on 12-Feb-07. Waypoint GC10XT8

Found the cave with some noobs. Could not take picture because my Iphone died in the cave. All I was left with was my docomo crap phone. Cave was cool but writing seemed fake. I was nervous about the no trespass signs but no one stopped us. Giant bee hive near cave! Watch out. Tftc.

Just to let all future cachers know, although there are some "no trespassing" signs in nearby areas on the way to this cache, there is a PUBLIC ACCESS path that leads to the shoreline. Such access to "historic public beaches and sites" is required by local law.

The turn from the main road is marked for Gadao's Cave, but nothing after that is marked. I parked a bit farther away than necessary, and while I was getting out my backpack, a van pulled up and asked if I knew where the cave was. Well, I knew where it *was*, but not necessarily how to get there (I didn't have the cache details). I kept walking down all the roads that didn't say "private property" and it worked out great. On the way back from the cave, I passed a big group of people: the van had found the right place (and parked closer than me!). TFTC.

Awesome! Thanks for bringing us here, my new fav! Lots of TB pics w/ancient dichotomy...

What a great spot that I would not have found without this cache ! e-mail to the CO is in the works.

My first day to myself since coming back to the island a few months ago, and I wanted to grab the island's only earthcache! Almost impossible to find, if not for the GPS and some guesswork, I never would have found it. Only afterwords did I notice that the CO included directions! Even after finding the cave, I crawled around for several minutes before finally spotting the pictographs. This is so awesome! The rocks and caves are great enough, and the bonus of the rock art is just phenomenal. Thanks so much for putting this here to mark this great spot! Find #706, TFTC!

Found with Yufen. Almost missed it but happen to see a sign and turned around. Met "Chris" (Christine) on the side road who offered to take us to the cave and show us exactly how to get there. Be careful on the way to GZ saw a huge bee/wasp nest near the rocks. Stayed clear and had no issues. What an amazing place - TFTeC!

went out for a couple of caches tonight. was just about dark when i got to the cave. awesome spot. no muggles or trash in the area. directions helped very much.

Cool little cave but i was thinking much bigger but really neat back there around the cave. As a tourist it wasnt to easy for me to find the road but with a little help from a few very nice locals i was able to find the road and this cool find. Thanks very much and i love how beautiful this island is!!! The little travel bug i have with me paid a visit but im still looking for a nice home for him here in Guam.

There was a "Keep Out" sign guarding the road to the shore from the directions. I ignored that and proceeded on. Glad I did. TFTC!

My first earthcache! Team Duck Hunters made a return appearance to Gadao's Cave. This time, I was able to join them. TFTC!

Awesome! TFTC!

Team Duck Hunters

Found this today with 671stargazer, iJosh, rocket671, jaron, and will.he.is. The hike was actually not very long at all, it went by faster than I planned. iJosh was the only one who'd actually been here before. I think the adventure was more on getting there than actually THERE! Have some real cool stories and as usual its ALWAYS fun with the Duck Hunters!

very nice... its a natural sauna

nice hike to find this cache w/ kkwms & mamarhodes. amazing and very nice that nobody has messed with the pictographs.

Thanks for bringing us here. I hadn't been here before. It's pretty impressive. We met the owner of the land here while we were walking to the cave. We had a great talk with him.

Had been here years ago when my youngest daughter was in the 5th grade. Her class did a field trip. She is now 24 so it was a long time ago. I enjoyed seeing the pictographs again.

Great cache! I'm amazed at the drawings done so many years ago and how well preserved they are!! I went with rhodesisland & book_freak so the picture will come when I get it! ^-^

I have wanted to do this cache for a long time now, and have finaly got it. Thank you so much for bringing me to this location.

Our group was the following people: Segnsnowowl, Kindercacher, Geo~bug, Carriboo, and SkippySue. We were showing my mom around the island and hadn't been to this cave yet. It's amazing that these drawing have stayed visable for so long. Thank you for bringing us here.

Had to bring IslandWave here before she leaves island to learn a little bit about the Ancient Chamorro Chief! book_freak enjoyed it too!

Girls, remember to send a private email with the name of the mineral used to create the drawings to the cache's owner!

Such a great cache! Thanks for Guam's first, but hopefully soon to not be only, Earthcache!

Also our first earchcache!
Lilmsmuffet and I had been there years ago when book_freak couldn't even read yet and I had been there once before when I was a teen. So thanks for bringing us back! We're thinking of bringing our Girl Scout troop down here next year.

Found this one with a couple of my buddies, no clue at all what the drawings are made from

This was an awesome cache with a great view. Not too sure about how the drawings were made though.

Had an amazing time with friends at this cache! And some amazing pictures! Will post when my battery is charged!!

It looks like chalk, but was more durable paint pigment.
How do I email you the picture of the family?

After spending the night at a nearby beach for a youth campout, jaredbodine, mrs. jaredbodine and I decided to try to find this based on the coordinates that we downloaded into our new Garmin the night before. We had found the cave okay and the first thing we noticed were the awesome ancient drawings on the wall. Without realizing that this was an earth cache, we spent about an hour looking for a traditional cache. A good learning experience for novices like us. I will take mrs. blygoat back and post some pictures shortly.
