From the Love Land of yesterday's post we took the cable ride for about 5 minutes over the falls (posts to come soon) and then from the other side walked about 10 minutes on a trail like above to come to the below lean too which was probably just made to protect from rain.
Yokoi Shoichi was the Japanese soldier who stayed hidden in Guam many years after the war was over. I remember the news when he finally came out or was found. This resort area is now made for tourists to visit his hideout.
Above the entrance to the cave and below the sign that won't let us crawl into it. I asked the lady at the gate when we left, why the sign and she said it was for their protection and because it might cave in on us.
Very near the cave was this little stream where he could have gotten fish. On the walk there were many taro potatoes and bananas so he wouldn't starve in all those years. Also when we think of how we got to the cave. Miles of pavement...several miles of rocky road...cable ride down the valley to the other side of the stream and falls...up another trail to the trail to the cave. So many years ago with none of the convenient transportation and trails, it would have been very easy to never be found.
