Hermit's hideout Santa Rita, Guam
By GreatJake and Niselena on 10-Nov-07. Waypoint GC17ABN

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Not there

We looked for at least a half hour and couldn't find it. GPS was right on the money. Not sure if it's still here. If it is here it's either high in a tree or underground in the sand.

Happened to stop by this beach the other day so lilmissmuffet could take some pictures. Took a look for the cache and it is definitely missing.

Hate to see this one go, since it's one of Guam's oldest, I'll see if I can get down there and replace it this weekend!

Lots of coconut crabs and hermit

Very interesting area. So many little crabs in shells running around. Thanks for allowing us to visit this historic site.

Beautiful site. Took a little time to crawl around, but finally found the cache. TFTC!

Found it this time. Looked for it 2 years ago without a gps without any luck. Left a Seychelle Rupee, took Guam huggy.

Found my first took the Norway coin and left 3 coins it took me 10 min

Loved this! Looked in and out, over and under. Took us a good 20 min, but we found it! Your guards seem to be on leave, though...Only one hermit crab to be seen.

Picked up The Travel Slug TB and dropped off Dread Pirate Rackham. TFTH!

decided to go caching for lunch tftc!!!!

Nice Cache

very interesting cave...nice view of the ocean....found with our grandchildren...Robbie and Clay.

#130 and a very interesting one. Wow, those Japanese pill poxes are amazing! Thanks for taking us to a very cool place. Dropped 3 TBs...

MAN, this one took FOREVER to find!! Great hiding spot, I checked every other place in this area and passed it twice. Out "treasure hunting" with my 3-year old, she loved this one. Her first TB find. Very neat area I otherwise would have never known was there. TFTC Took some TB's, traded a knick-knack, and SL. Great day.

found this fella while my Bride & Sailor-Daughter explored the nearby caves/Bunkers Dropped of a couple of TBs, one of which honors thoes that serve under the surface....Thanks for the hunt & fun FIGS - SL

After four trys of finding a cache we finally found one! This is a great find. Defintely for the novice geocacher.

By far my fav gc ever! Great location! Found w my BGCBFL Dead Money! This one will be hard to beat;). TFTC!!!

Played hookie from work...awesome day in Guam to go geocaching!!

TFTC

nice cache

Having a fun time in Guam and caching TFTC

logging tb's

Found this one after pulling into port on our way home to San Diego. Very cool area to check out. It was a little creepy searching around at night, but I was very happy to find a cache in Guam. TFTC!!! I did not see the geocoin in the cache.

Great hide, but the army of hermit crabs were on leave. The cache was unguarded, but still took us about 10 minutes of hunting to find. GPS was jumping around a lot under the tree cover and so we had to use our caching experience to ID the hiding location. TNLN.
TFTC!

Great area for a cache....loved the site. Had to distract a muggle while the rest of the family looked through the loot! We love to trade and came prepared, the items left for trading were horrible (a broken shell, a leaf and a hair tie) we left some goodies and hope to find some more fun swag items soon.

The army must have bee on maneuvers, Nice hide, had to avoid muggles.

Great little hiding spot! Really cool being able to check out historic sites along cache routes! Thanks! We swapped a pokimon hologram toy with a friendly smell good frog! The kids had a lot of fun finding it and had a friend EdnSteph help em out!

took a couple trips to find this one for me, cant look too long while kids are in the car Container looked a little beat up tho, I guess those Hermit crabs are trying to get in on the action of geocaching too!

TFTC TNLN SL

Great find! Ouch!!!

Found it with Blygoat and Maga'haga (only Faith because Lacee had to study). Beautiful day and 2 elderly muggles at the entrance...lady muggle sketching and man muggle playing his Brass instrument. That was pretty neat...they know how to enjoy the natural beauty! So, Faith and I got the hint from Blygoat. We start to search in one area and came up empty handed. Faith searches another area and jackpot, comes up with the cache! Thanks for bringing us here. SL

Was with Wandahfoh and Maga'haga when we found this cache today. It's still in good condition!

Found with wandahfoh and blygoat before heading down to Spanish steps. Never been to this area before. Tried to find it without the GPS. Thanks blygoat for pointing out which one was not the big one. Maga'haga may be interested in taking over your 2 caches here. TFTC. TNLN. Geocoin seems to be missing.

TFTC!

You were right there are a lot of hermits hiding out. Went with a small group for the first time and one of the kids I was with this was his first find.

At 0859 on 2010/03/08 Guam time. Neat place, thousands of crabs!

NICE HIDE JOB. IT TOOK US A MINUTE BUT WE GOT IT WITHOUT THE ENCRYPTED CLUE. WE FOUND THAT WHEN WE GOT BACK....

[Hi, found it for our very first geocache! Our kids had a ball tracking it down. Signed the log but there was a little squabbling between the kids over who was going to write what so it's a little messy... Didn't take or leave any fun stuff in the container.] Thought for sure it would be in the old cave/pillbox; obviously didn't find it there but we really enjoyed poking around, peering out the windows and stomping around the clearing on the other side. Just had to watch out for spiderwebs... [Thanks so much for an easy and fun find!]

Quick PNG great clue, my daughter found it right away. Took duck and left button. Not sure if i was supposed to take duck, if not will return.

Found this with SannnRox (Team Duck Hunters), Blonde Ninja & Frannie (Team Cheesebaconcupcakes). We had just finished attending the Craig Morgan concert on base (AWESOME CONCERT despite the fact it was rained out), when we figured, lets find a CACHE! Arrived at our creepy destination and set out to find the cache. I pointed in the direction where I thought a cache could be hidden when Blonde Ninja darts off and finds it in no time. It was super dark with hermit crabs everywhere. We took some pictures before taking off on our Geomobile.

On another note, Congratulations to SannnRox on her 100th find!

TNLN,

Sherbear

**************wooohooo my 100th find!!!**********************


Hermits hideout is exactly RIGHT! Found this one tonight with sherbear, blonde ninja, and a new caching friend fran (haha when we're together we're cheesebaconcupcakes!!). I knew that my 100th find was coming up and was working on Geofreqman's Treed wanting that one to be my 100...but there was a concert on base tonight...and SINCE we were in the areaaaaaaa..... how could i resist?? Besides, don't count your caches, make your caches count, right?

By the way the concert was AWESOME, totally enjoyed myself even though it was out on the lawn and got rained out. I had a blast, but I digress. Anyways, I'd seen on the map where this one was and we pull in. I work on this base so was kinda saving the two on base for a rainy day (and it DID rain tonight, hehe). And I've never actually been to this beach before (the popular ones are on the other side) so it was a win/win!

So we park and get out of the car and its pitch black but the four of us start walkin to wherever "Boldy" (sherbear's cacheberry) takes us! We get within a few feet of where GZ should be and sher reads the clue. Hrmmmm....we had to think about this one, because there are two options.

We (and by we, I mean ME) are super freaked out at all the shuffling we hear under all the debris washed up on the shore, its the hermit crabs!! I hate spiders and ANYthing that reminds me of them will go in the same book!! So instead of someone being "muggle" patrol, we end up having one person on "hermit" patrol. Those suckers were FAST!

I say out loud what I thought the clue meant, we look, but no luck, but we do spot a crab in a hole. Are you the guardian, buddy? Then I start to think, darn, could it be muggled? Not wanted to give up so easily, Blonde ninja starts walking in another direction and Sher shares with us what HER interpretation of the clue is. Blonde ninja looks up. "nuh-uh. no way. not happening. not going there" a minute goes by and we're slowly looking in all obvious places on our way over to where she is. All of the sudden..."guys I think this is it." Yup, sherbear was right! and blonde ninja found it! YAY!! haha...so much for NOT GOING THERE, we tease her!

cool swag, didn't notice the Rocks, Paper, Scissors geo coin, no one's logged that they'd taken it I befittingly wanted to take that one up to Jan-Ken-Pon!

Fun find for the kids. Lots to explore. Left a geoGem. Didn't see the other coin. The kids traded toys. SL TFTC

Those little hermit crabs are so darn cute.

This cache is right down the road from where 10-b and I are building houses. I left a little blood (should have brought my hard hat) but not too bad. Left a coin. TFTC.

Nice find. Took the "Sub"way to get here and enjoyed the visit. Wish I had more time.

I found it with the help of themadhalfling. CITO

Found it with NedWade and Mitch. This has to be one of the coolest locations I have seen yet. The area is beautiful. I wish I could have shared it with my girl. Bring yours. It's worth it.

A great find with a great view! This one took us a few mins because the trees had our GPSs jumping everywhere. Used my geosenses and finally made the grab. TFTC!!

TFTH! Been here 8 mos ago with an exceptional island guide - history buff - had no idea a cache was sooooo close...

Found the Cash thanks for View.
