Hidden Beach

With most of our hikers off island or indisposed, we decide to resume our Sunday sojourn with a short trip down the Xterra trail to Hidden Beach. At 6:15 a.m., Ewok, Spicegirl, Rexplorer, and CC welcome a clear sky and walk down the trail. The trail has recently been "cleared" enough for passage, although the sword grass still makes its marks on our fingers and exposed skin. The trail is a little slippery from the recent storm that has hit Guam and skirted our island with thunder, lightning and pouring rain. The road from Camacho farm to the beach has a few puddles. We are happy to be hiking again.

On the road just before the concrete steps leading down to the beach, some of the trees and bushes have been cleared away for this great view. Some people call the rock "crocodile".

Water is very calm today. Not too much debris on the beach, although more than enough trash is  strewn on the big rock where Ewok and Rexplorer are sitting.

Of course we have to have our snacks before we head back up the trail.

At the Camacho farm, we see several goats and deer inside the compound. Then this little goat wanders out on the road to greet us, curious to see what we have to offer.

It was a short hike, but quite sufficient as a re-start for us.  We are glad to be back to our Sunday schedule.
