Tweed's Cave Rematch

This weekend I finally found Tweed's Cave. You may remember the post a few months back where I attempted to find it but instead got lost in the jungle. Well it turns out that at a certain part on the path there is a tree with a ribbon around it and you follow the ribbons through the jungle. Kind of like the dead marshes in Lord of the Rings; stay on the path, don't follow the lights! I spaced out for a little bit and and got lost in the jungle for a good 10 minutes but thankfully we eventually found a tree with a ribbon and got back home safely.

For those of you that have forgotten George Tweed was a radioman stationed on Guam during WW2. When the Japanese invaded he ran into the jungle with a few other sailors and hid from the Japanese for over two years (the other sailors were caught and executed).

This is a picture of the watering hole he went to to near the cave. After climbing to his hideout I have no idea how he didn't fall and break his leg or something.

Beginning of the hike up the hill. It was a bunch of mossy rocks and eventually it got to a point where there's a rope and you have to climb up the cliff. It definitely looked like if you fell you would probably die but the desire for a blog post overcame my fear of falling and seriously injuring myself.

Tweed's Cave. It's more like two slabs of rock. No idea why they call it a "cave".

View from Tweed's Cave. This is where he would probably sit all day everyday staring out at the ocean looking for American ships.

That's all for now folks!
