No cache

Rock but no cache

Found with kennydmalone. Bring a flashlight for this hike, as there are great caves at the end. Cliffline also beautiful. Latte stones to see (don't touch).

Found en route to Pagat Cave, a little tough, perhaps had fallen from where it was supposed to be. Or perhaps I was just not looking in the right spots...always an option.

Forgot to bring a flashlight and had to navigate Pagat Cave by camera flash. I have to say, not a bad way to see the thing, especially if you don't know what you're in for it really is a surprise.

Cliff jumping afterwards thanks to some local folk's advice. Probably never had a better caching experience.

Found on the way to Pagat, opportunity to introduce 3 new people to our fun sport

First time at Pagat Cave, so I thought I'd find a few caches while I'm out. TNLNSL --Deadmoney

Took some friends to Pagat today and grabbed this on the way out. SL TFTC

Found it but didn't bring a pen so we couldn't sign the log.

Cache has been replaced with a new waterproof container. Its good to go.

long hike and lots of boonie bees

found this one but everything was wet inside. We put in a new piece of paper but the cache container just isnt waterproof enough. Would have replaced it but left our containers back in the car.

another one to my list! Muahahahhaha

Fun spot, couldn't sign, because the log was wet. Dropped baby colt.

Wasn't expecting to go caching today, just thought I was taking a friend and his family leaving the island down to Pagat Cave. When we're hiking in he asks "hey I wanna try that geocaching thing you guys do.". I stare blankly at him wondering if he's serious or being patronizing.

As a matter of fact, I tell him, we're pretty close to one RIGHT NOW. He's shocked "NO WAY!" And I tell him where the general area is and his wife actually is the one who finds it!

We go through the damp contents and dry them up a bit before replacing them. The log was an unrecognizable wad by now, and ravaging through my backpack yeilded no replacement *drat*.

Other than that, the cache was in decent shape for the next bunch of cachers to find.

The hike was faster than I remembered (could be cuz of the high volume of locals making the trek before it becomes off limits) and we had time to make it out to the cliffside.

Overall nice coming back here with new people, I hope I converted them to the game.

Found it! Couldn't sign the log because it was too wet. I'll bring a new log the next time i go there.

TFTC!

Found this guy on a boonie stomp this weekend... drop a coin in it to move along. TFTC!

Yes a well known Guam tree too bad there were no fruits, only tons of Mosquitos to eat us up and leave Braille marks all over us !

Easy cache to find once you get to GZ. Found this one on the hike to Pagat Cave with the Duck Hunters (SannnRox, 671Stargazer, Hubbbb, Ari, and Jennie). Fun and exhausting day!

TFTC!

Super fun (and yes, exhausting) day hiking with stargazer, hubbb, j-nug, sherbear and another non-caching (but soon caching convert) friend Ari. I knew we were hiking down to the cave this weekend so I just loaded all caches in the area into Carmen (our trustee GPS) that morning. Unfortunately I had not read anything on the description or anything so decided to just "wing it." As we parked and collected ourselves for the hike down, I grabbed Carmen and turned her on. We were too busy laughing and cracking jokes along the way that we didn't hear Carmen beep that we were approaching Mission Impossible #4. Oh well, we'll get it on the way back up.

A little more laughs and giggles later we Carmen beeps that we are approaching this one. Stargazer is on PAGAT CAVE mode and "uhm, guys" everybody grinds to a halt. "there's a cache in there" *pointing* Hubbb: "oh I didn't know where's caching, okay" and dives right in .

Carmen zeroes out in the middle of the grass and we look around for obvious places to hide a cache (remember I hadn't read the description or logs). Stargazer walks up to the tree and "FOUND IT" woohoo!

We showed ari what it was and kind of told her all about it, and she seemed interested and wants to come with us out again. I love converting "muggles" into cachers!

Nice to hit this one quick and we're off to the caves!!!

Nice hide. We saw the tree in a moment and signed this Hike N Grab. This was our 2nd find on this trail as we worked our way down to the cave.

Found this one really easily. Second of our 3 finds today on this trail. TFTH

First cache of the day, and thought Jim-son rhodesisland was trying to kill this old lady with that climb out...figured he thought that he had an inheritance coming in my will...boy, is he in for a surprise. Well, at least he didn't drag me all the way down to the Pagat Cave. Been there, done that. When I was young and springy. Of course, that was pre-geocaching days.

First of the day w/ mama_rhodes on her next to last day of caching while here.
1/2 way to Pagat Cave and we were pretty wiped out. So looking forward to Saturday when the Boonie Stompers are leading a hike all the way to PC, then I can get that one too!

The log was damp but serviceable; the baggie was worn out, so we replaced the baggie.

BTW, this area needs SERIOUS CITO! I think it will be our next CITO event!

TFTC! L-general swag, T-KC

Out for a hike today with Anyankachan, her husband, son and friend. I brought along a couple of coworkers who have never geocached before. Had a wonderful hike and great conversation with Anyankachan. I previously logged this cache so I let Randi find it which she did in short order. I grabbed the Norway geocoin to bring to the CITO event this weekend. We headed down to Pagat Cave to enjoy some swimming and for me to get the cache. Kudo's to Anyankachan who is quite the model cacher as she brought plenty of garbage bags to CITO the area. She must have collected 25 pounds of garbage between the cave and this cache. Great example Randi for those that were new to caching. They asked me if all cachers were this friendly and considerate of the area they cache in.

thanks jimp59! today was a great day to hang with JB & friends! we took our time and really enjoyed the hike. i am probably going to host a cito here....seeing how it is one of my most favorite places on guam.

Another I forgot to log. Drove the 4x4 down close to this tree.

Found this one as we were taking my mom around geocaching. We haven't gotten Pagat Cave yet but will try next time.

Found this one today on our way to a full day of caching. My son and I ran the whole way down and up while the wife and other two children stayed in the air conditioning. TFTC

Another good cache by jimp59. A good hike ( or run) down to this cache and back up ( for those that do make this cache into a PNG). It does seem that the amount of the trash on this trail continues to inrease. It is a shame!!! TNLN. TFTC.

Thanks for bringing us here. We(jaredbodine and I) came with Blygoat in the 4x4. It made our hike into a PnG. hee,hee,hee! It was awesome...jared found the cache just where it should be with the hint provided. But, it didn't smell at all! BTW, this is my 500th cache! HipHipHooray! TFTC SL

FTF with Blygoat. What a shame what people do with their garbage. Enjoyed the drive down to this one. The family is coming to visit next week and will probably bring them to get the caches in the area.TFTC TNLN

****Shared FTF with Jet Blast!**** Drove the truck all the way to the cache making this a nice PNG. While waiting for our GPS's to settle down, we both spotted the cache location at exactly the same time and headed straight for this easy hide. TFTC-SL TNLN
