This was taken in 2012. I bungee corded a handheld camera to the front of my 2004 Honda Shadow Aero and rode from my house on Andersen AFB to Tarague Beach and back.
This is crazy nostalgic. I went to Andersen Elementary 12 years ago. I was a 2nd grader. Seeing that street next to the school is crazy as I am 21 now and left just after 3rd grade. I lived at the base of palau loop(street), but I see all the housing has been dug up which is kind of unfortunate. It's so sad, but Guam was the highlight of my childhood, I am thankful for this video. My only regret is forgetting some of the names of everyone I met on the island. One of these days I will go back.
@@BHinsPOL Oh wow, I can't believe I didn't realize that was the street you turned in on. I always walked down the other turn into Palau Loop a little further down the road next to the school with friends. Looking near the beginning of the video before your first left turn, makes complete sense though. Wish I could have stayed longer, I want to see Guam evolve from 09' haha. I moved to Florida and have been since.
So many memories of Guam. The Wash out theater, Burger Barn, Hafa Day Market, The Navy base and o much more. I have a small velvet calendar of Guam and Talafofo Falls is the first thing you see. :)
Tarague is the best beach on Guam. I went there often and I had the place entirely to myself. Peaceful as much as it is beautiful. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for posting this. I made many trips to that beach. I was at "Marbolo" before my wife and son came over. I was there at AAFB from feb 74' to Dec 77. This was great! I'm retired now ,old and grey, but it brought back so many memories. Thanks again for posting this!!!
Just wow! Thanks! Such memories. Brings me back to being stationed there in the Air Force 1992 at the 644th Combat Communications Squadron. My chief was Chief Mainville. I remember atop the palm trees large fruit bats would hang out. What a wonderful place/assignment. everyone took care of each other
my wife and I lived in the house on the corner at the end of carolines Ave from 03-05.... thanks for posting this, I miss it terribly... hopefully will make it back once before I die...
I was stationed at Anderson back in the late 60's. Tarague was my favorite hangout. The commercial airline crews used to come down and play volleyball It is a beautiful place.
We were stationed on Anderson 1964-1968. Riding the base shuttle bus was really fun. Lots of terror. In the 1960s Guam was still a paradise /c no commercial flights into the island.
I lived on Hibiscus Lane in Lower Capehart in 1966 to 68 as a young teenager. What a great place. Many, many fond memories. Friends were Laurie Hillman, David Ellis, and many more.
Thanks for posting this video. Our family had 2 beautiful Guam assignments 1997-2003 then 2009-2013. I tried to see our home or our car, since we were there during your filming, on Gardenia Lane but you turned left at Marianas (I think that was the name) 10 years total on Guam wasn’t enough for us 🇬🇺🇺🇸 Thanks again 🙂
Thanks for the memories. It was great to see Guam as I remember it from 1956-1959 when my Dad was stationed at NAS Agana. Going to Tarague was a special treat for us because Tumon was our beach....just a quick drive down from the back gate at NAS. The scenery, once you leave the housing is just as I remember the island. Watching some other videos, my God h as Guam grown. I wish you would have spent a little more time on the beach. There used to to be the hulk of a Japanese transport ship hanging on the reef, as your face the beach it would be to your far left. And we never had to worry about snakes, there were none. Thanks again. BTW, what bike were you riding when you did the video?
Lived there from 1968 to 1975 during Vietnam war. My most cherished memories in my younger years are of Guam and Anderson AFB, such a beautiful paradise I haven’t been back sure want to though. Looks like the jungle has been pushed back from the base quite a ways and the beach is a lot nicer with nice paved roads thank you for sharing we that have lived there appreciate that video
It’s so weird seeing all these houses. Right now, most of the houses on base are vacant, while others seen in this video have been demolished. The houses by the golf course going down the road to the left are so weird to see.
@@BHinsPOL The demolished houses are being replaced with a modern version, and it’s almost completed (186 units). I’m not too sure why most of the houses are vacant, I’m guessing they’re going to demolish those next.
Thank you for this video. My wife and I were stationed there early 70's, Your drive back from the beach crosses Midway Drive, we lived just around the corner from the intersection you drove through at 1511A Midway Drive. Another item is the drive to the beach brought back memories from when my wife's parents came to visit us. They had flown all night and my mother in law said she had never seen the ocean. I thought about the view from the road to Tarague where the ocean first comes into view thru the cut. We took them to the beach and she saw the ocean from that view point, very touching moment.. I thank you again.
@@BHinsPOL I’m in 1239B Palau loop It looks different now not as many trees as on the video and the house right next to mine is the last one on the street. The new homes that are getting built start there.
My parents natives of Guam, our Dad was in the Air Force and we lived on AAFB Guam in the 60's, lived on (3) different ares on base not sure if the names of the areas are still the same. Then we moved out then & exit back gate down to Rte 15 heading to Mangilao right across from Price Elementary School large property below GTA telephone authority owned before by GovGuam, below where my grandparents owned before the Agriculture. I didn't realized how much property the Military took from the people in Anderson, prime property ...
Brian H / 🌴 we loved also living on base but my Dad was medical discharged and had to move out of the base & into the village in Mangilao. But we had still benefits with medical, commissary, base exchange, flying Mac & getting on base anywhere we went off & on island using the privileges loved being a 🇺🇸✈️USAF ✨dependent 🤗 back then 👍🏼

My family was stationed at Anderson in the mid 1960s. It was amazing. My first love, Dutch Merryman was.
Tarague is the best beach on Guam. I went there often and I had the place entirely to myself. Peaceful as much as it is beautiful. Thanks for the video!
I loved my 4 years on Guam!
We lived in Royal Palms housing.... now torn down. It was great. I was only 7-8 years old when there, but I loved it.
Where was Royal Palms housing?
Me too 1968 to 1970. Officers club pool. The best

I left there in April '13 and have missed it every day since.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there are no more fruit bats there because of the brown tree snake.
Brings back memories. That road down is very familiar. Thanks for posting.

I remember that hill being steep and long. At least in my 1979 Datsun 210 wagon. I still miss that boonie car. And the Typhoon parties.

Nice! Ya, we were there from ‘09-‘13 and loved every minute of it.
Man i loved going to that beach great memories
I left in 2013 and have missed it every day since then.
I hated going around that long winding road. My stepfather drove extremely fast. I loved the beach.
Those roads are great on a motorcycle.

We loved it there and miss it every day! The bike was a Honda Shadow 750 and the camera was bungee corded just below the headlight.

They named the cut Sanders Slope.
@@BHinsPOL I saw the sign in you video. Many changes since we left.
Is the big totem pole still there on the side of the road?
I seem to remember some kind of a totem pole somewhere, but can remember specifically where it is.
It hasn't changed in 50 years
I've only been gone for 4 years, but I miss it tremendously!
............and Thank You for the video. (I hope that you weren't a Pilot.) :P
Haha! Not a pilot.
Brings back 40 year old memories 😊
We left in 2013. I miss it every day!
Great video, I had to watch it a couple of times to make sure I had it right your house is right next to the one I’m currently living in.
We were in 1237A Palau Loop.
@@BHinsPOL I’m in 1239B Palau loop
It looks different now not as many trees as on the video and the house right next to mine is the last one on the street. The new homes that are getting built start there.

I was stationed there from 87-88.Always enjoyed Tarague beach.
@1:37 hey look its the gate that NEVER worked.
I feel strangely patriotic after watching this video.
Welcome to Guam enjoy the beaches, sightseeing and food.
Thanks, but I was stationed there 2009-2013.
@@BHinsPOL have you visit the sister island hopping or tuna fishing.
@@O-ShinSpringsWater we did visit Saipan while we were there, and I didn't catch any tuna, but I did catch a nice Mahi.
