EP12: "Oh My God, The Teletubbies Go To War."
hakushu8:
Well, I drove around S. Guam yesterday without a camera, so no pics, sorry. Anyways, I enjoyed it, because it was only my second time driving around that place. I only stayed in the main roads: Rt.4 - Cross Island Rd., and Rt.17 which goes through the mountain ranges. I didn't really had enough time to explore the side roads, which would lead to places closer to the bottom of the mountain ranges and could also provide a view quite similar to the one the Chas were in. But most of those side roads go to private properties, (ranches, etc.) and I said, I really didn't have time to explore all of them.
So if you guys were to ask me where the Cha's confessional could have been, here are my picks:
* Country Club of the Pacific - a golf course in Yona. I didn't get to go in, but I saw the same mountain contour that was in the background of the Cha's confessional. An aerial image here.
* Talofofo Falls Park - accessed via Inarajan. Now I'm just guessing for this one. I didn't get to go in. (Expensive fee for a few minutes of perusing... no thank you! ;D) I'm not sure if the same mountain contour is present in there, but yeah, just putting this here. An aerial image of the falls.
* War in the Pacific National Historical Park - also known as Asan Beach Park in Asan, Guam. I lucked out with this one. See, I was only supposed to explore the southeastern part of Guam. But I went through Rt.17, and I didn't know it connected S.E and S.W Guam. :lol: So from Rt.17, I got to Rt.1 - Marine Corps. Drive, heading back home north. I glanced to the left, and I think I saw the same mountain contour (well, it's not really a mountain here) as in the Cha's confessional. I should have had stopped by and really check it out, but I didn't, and I think it was really something worthy to check out. Anyways, I think I could do it on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, here's a link to a picture of the rock, I think. Asan Beach Park rock?
Sorry I couldn't post the pics directly here. Copyright issues.

Thank you SO much for doing all that--I was thinking about you today cause I wanted to go too!
Great info--we can start to play with that this week.
Don't worry about the pics--I'm learning about that too! :lol:
Is that Mt Finansata mentioned above a possibility in your mind?

HER personal link actually ;D After posting that I decided to edit my signature so I could shamelessly pimp out my pictures. Sorry for the confusion :-[

I'm unsure but I think it was sunny. I was sick that day because of the intermittent rainfall earlier that week; same as in Hong Kong and Macau!. Oh, and it was also my finals, so I guess stress was a factor. [/rantdom]
I don't know about Mt. Finansanta, peach. If you look at the picture headcrusher has provided, there's a back mountain and a front mountain. Yeah, the area is quite mountainous, and I don't think there's any place in that area that is similar to the one found in the Cha's confessional picture, wherein the mountain has that slope going down to a flat area.

Both...sorta. Student pilot, amateur photographer (better than being an amateur pilot and a student photographer I guess)
One thing that's bugging me about Mt. Finansanta. The hiking site I found that picture at says it's a 6 hour, difficult, hike to the summit. Would TPTB really set up a pit stop in rough terrain like that??
