Priest’s Pools

Priest Pools is a hike in southern Guam.  The Pigua River cascades along terraces of basalt lava as it heads toward the ocean.  The water was cool and somewhat clear.  Back when the Spanish first arrived on the island in the 1500s, the priests would bathe in the cool fresh water.  The river meanders in the typical volcanic hills and tall sword grass found throughout the south.  On our hike today, it was a bit muggy and overcast making our arrival at the river a big relief.  While in the pools, the clouds broke open pouring down buckets of water on us and the hills around us.  The falls gained volume and our concern for hiking out on the slippery rocks grew.  Luckily, we made it back safely with no injuries.

    If this is your situation then you should try raised garden beds instead.

    If you plan the timing of your plantings properly, you will have space for every vegetable you want, spring, summer, fall and
    winter. Ensure you use the correct petrol to oil ratio and
    have some pre-mixed fuel ready made up rather than have to mix the fuel after each empty
    tank.
