In 1976 I was there when typhoon Pamala went through. All those green trees you see here were gone in one day. The island was totally brown as the foliage was stripped completely off the island. That was amazing, the tropical foliage is programmed to regrow very fast. In one month there were new shoots on all the trees were growing again. We had no power for over 3 months and I used a Honda generator for the refrigerator. I see the wooden electric poles were replaced with steel poles as wood cannot handle 140 mph winds.
Thanks for the short history. I was born and live in The Netherlands and I was already asking myself why the street poles looked so thick and strong, they looked like concrete poles for me.
I’ve been looking for a good “drive around the island” video like this. Thank you! Listening to the radio along with the scenery made me miss the island and the beautiful things like seeing the ocean every morning while driving to school. Now that I am away and have to drive 1 1/2 hours to get to the beach makes me realize how much I took for granted growing up.
This means a lot to see this video. I was stationed at NAVcams WESTPAC from 1976-1977, and have had a desire to see the island again someday. This is like going on a trip in itself just to ride along although I sit in Wisconsin at 0 degrees presently. Thank you for posting this. It takes me back to my younger days down memory lane. Hafa Adai!
Thanks for sharing this video. I haven't been back to Guam in 30 years. It was great seeing all those places again. Brought me back to some great times. :)
I wish I can say the same. I was there 1982, 83. I remember a country dance place called The Hitching Post (I think that was the name. Way more down, a place where hard rock was played but damn I don't remember the name. Then there was motel row but you would turn left on a certain road to get to it. Both the other places would be on the right if this came from the Naval station.
Thank you for sharing us this video! Amazing for me that Guam is truly with USA looking !! High standards on most structures and roads, etc. Hope one day I can visit it !
Great video, I remember being there with the Marines in 1983 and in 2003.The Island has so much history. Thank you for showing some of what Guam has to offer.
Looks to me like your plan is thorough. God Bless Guam endeavors should it ever come time. I look forward to seeing the final resolution-represent. My gratitude!
Man the memories. Especially driving by Cabras power plant. As you turned I wanted to get a good look at the old USO club later the Merchant Seamans Club. The old Merchant Seaman club was further on down by Charlie dock. used to take launch boat to my ship.watching the drive to the base now. Man that place has changed a lot. I should consider retiring there. I can use the VA there and base shopping with my service connection.
HAFA ADAI! Ya' ho ham yo Guahan. It's been so many years that I have not visited beautiful and warm Guam. I used to live in Agat down southern part of this island. Si yu'us maase.
Honestly they could make a freeway or an expressway if they want to, but I believe the big problem of not doing it is probably due to most of the material of roads mixture they use to make is from coral sand and not regular sand, since Guam as an island doesn’t have regular sand. Another major problem is that it would cost loads of money for them to import overseas sand so that’s probably why they generally use coral sand and other mixtures since it’s cheaper. Costs less, but also super dangerous since the road can easily become oily when it gets wet which is why you generally see reduced speed limits mainly labeled as “35mph”
The major highways on Guam still needs to be worked on certain route areas, I left in 2014 & bc of our weather there really hurts the roads. If Guam can sweep the roads quarterly the place will look fresher. Out here it’s the same in Calif some highway roads are terrible, the freeways are maintain bc it’s Federal Highways just back to back on peak hours ...
I dont remember any of it,all this is new,,wd lived in Sina hana for 4 mos then we moved on base.the speed limit was 45 on the roads and most of them were 2 lane you had to be cateful when rained as the coral got slick when wet.
There is no body on the street's,They should do more to invite travelers from different parts of the world and Africa in order to grow the nation and the economy not just depending on the US.

This gave an old sailor some much-needed peace and relaxation. I will be traveling to that beautiful place real soon.

A beautiful island that I will never be able to visit. I'm an old pensioner. But I really liked this video. Thanks for sharing. like

Greetings from the beauiful Island of Guam, as we say "Hafa Adai". Thank you for sharing this video.
I was there in the early 70's. What a change !
I was in Guam for 5yrs , I really want to go back & visit ❤️

This vid got me through a depressive night in the desert. Thank you!

Mahalo for this awesome video. It’s like I’m actually there.
Thank you for sharing your video..., I sure do miss our Island home.
Wow,nice video and nice view👍
I like it!
Make Guam statehood already!
Yeah, the Republic of Guam all the way.
Free Guam 🇬🇺✊
No motorway/freeway/expressway in Guam? For a developed island like Guam, that's surprising.
nope the most we have is a 6 lane road that only gets up to 35mph crazy😂 in some of the more rural big roads people go 50-60 anyways so
@@nathanielfernandez5397 Tahiti and Barbados have good dual carriageways/expressways. That's pretty impressive for small island nations.

It just looks like any other US city.
Nice video, on clearer days you can see Rota from the Nimitz hill lookout👍🏾
Nice drive. Thanks
Nice video.
I was planed to visit Guam this spring with my family again. But due to COVID-19, all in vain. :(
That visitors center was not around when I was there. Holy smokes. By the Naval base. Beautiful.
Where on the timer????

Just back from Guam last week. Memories....
Guam has the last Kmart.
Yep ! Out here in Cali it’s closed down, still around in WA State but few stores ...
風景美麗的..........
每年度假的地方，可惜疫情，期待重返😍
Guam Is quite literally Florida in the Pacific

No Philippines so dirty
More road trips please!

Ai adai I miss home.
Guam should open up for travel for African investors they spend more money then most of the nation's they are giving visa free.
I dont remember any of it,all this is new,,wd lived in Sina hana for 4 mos then we moved on base.the speed limit was 45 on the roads and most of them were 2 lane you had to be cateful when rained as the coral got slick when wet.
Oh! you have an accurate memory! 🤗
kim make more video clips, thx
Those 10 that didnt like have probably never been there.
Where is the Naval Mag???

Are you going to big navy
And today is March 11 2024
Wanna know why 6 people disliked this? Lol
Because they’ve never been to Guam and don’t get it…
@@lungha9827 No freeway in Guam. That's why.
