With much trepidation, I agreed to try a ‘medium’ rated Boonie Stomp. Whew, this one was just as beautiful but so much easier. Wonder if John carrying all the water helped!? The hike was along the coastline from Gun Beach to Tanguisson Beach along the base of Puntan dos Amantes (Two Lover’s Point):
We passed Nikko Hotel’s Latte park:
At one end of Gun Beach, we saw the Japanese 20 cm coastal defense gun and this photo includes Dave Lotz, the organizer of the stomps, a 30+ year resident of Guam, writer of several Guam guidebooks and let me tell you, the man knows his stuff:
John and Logan with resort row along Tumon Bay in the background:
On the hike, we saw bright BLUE starfish (on my wish-list: underwater camera), a baby coconut crab and beautiful flowers:
It was a another great way to spend a Saturday morning and again, we met some really nice people. In fact, I got to meet the man from the other of the two Guam-based blogs that I enjoy reading. His blog, Tales of Brave Ulysses, is about a lot of different subjects and is fun to read. I don’t agree with everything he writes, but he is very witty, intellectual and will make you think.
Next Saturday’s hike: Rated Difficult ~ wish me luck.
Displaced Beachbums 
Hi there! This post came up in my daily blog searches for “Guam” and was a nice read. Was born and raised there, myself, and you’ve reminded me of my youthful days spent playing in the jungles. The forests of Seattle are wonderful, too, but not quite the same.
Hope you get that underwater camera soon and that you eventually get to venture off the well-beaten boonie paths — there are many treasures to be discovered 😉

So all these photos are tempted me and making me rethink that “it’s too far to fly”. Maybe when the kiddo gets a little older but before you set sail on another adventure. The house looks large but I forgot you are on the AF Base. Blog looks good . . . what is FG going to drink during a typhoon? Some people always provide a good laugh! Take care and go buy FG some snorkel gear!
