Hi, my brother and I know about the sinkhole! We lived on Guam in the early 70s, I was 11 years old in 1971 when we lived in Tamuning in a neighborhood called Perezville, named after the developer. It sat near the old Guam Memorial hospital, and we used to walk from our house down to Tumon Bay to go swimming. The Hilton was recently completed not long after we arrived, and the hospital sat above the hotel on the cliff. There were few hotels there, and it was the beginning of Tumon's development as a tourist destination for Japanese newlyweds. As to the sinkhole, my brother and I discovered it not long after we moved to Tamuning from Dededo, exploring our new neighborhood. I dont remember it being fenced in then, but I'm sure alot has changed there in the past 50+ years. I also ride mountain bikes and motorcycle, I got my moto start there riding minibikes around the neighborhood and in a nearby stone quarry. Thanks for posting the video! Ride on!
A few years back a boonie dog had fallen into the pit and miraculously survived the fall. It was in the hole a few days before being rescued by the Guam Fire Department. ..
@@tayloredstory8241 your channel content is on point and hitting it off brutha! Someday, I hope to do the same ☹️. Actually, hope to meet you sometime over a beer?
Hey David! I've been enjoying your channel! I'd love to meet up some time. I actually don't drink 😂 ... but would be happy to meet you for a coffee anytime.
theres a total of 4 BOMB holes in that area, this just one of them the other three are well hidden. the military bombed those areas because the japanese had hidden caves dug out in the area.im not even sure why this video is called sinkhole. it looks like a sink hole but we locals know its not. LOL
It is a quarry my coworker was just telling me that a couple days ago while talking a out the Hawaiian rock and Smith bridge quarries. He told me his father told him that it's a quarry as he was a dump truck driver back when the quarry was still in use.🤙🏾
There was two quarries there in Tamuning, one on each side of the street across from the elementary school and adjacent to the old Perezville neighborhood where my family and I lived in the early 70s. Also a huge Banyan tree near the school.
If you chill there for awhile quietly you'll see deer and pigs walk around the bottom or go there after a big storm or typhoon it will be full of water with multiple waterfalls along the lip of the hole
Yeah deer are rare in comparison to the wild pig sightings. When I did see them it was usually towards the evening or early mornings, while I waited for the rest of my rugby mates to show before our trainers attempted to murder us by making us do sprints with weighted vest up the steepest grass hills that the Hilton could provide! Lol
Wow interesting the problem with the locals they have to work to live on the Island and so they don't know of some interesting things that appear in the midst of the exoticness of the island
1. Why isn't it completely sealed off to the public? Oh,I forgot, GVB is waiting for someone to fall in to help increase visitor numbers, my bad for even questioning. 2. It's definitely gonna be exhilarating and exciting to be staying at Hilton during the next major earthquake. Who needs Disneyland? 3. Unfortunately, Dusit Thani and Outrigger have sinkholes under them as well, ask any Marine Biologist on Guam. 😮
It's not a Sinkhole. I use to live in the doctor's housing in Tamuning in 1970 and myself and many others found this one day while looking for coconut crab. It use to have Japanese human remains and a tank from WW2. Now it's in some senator's name for finding it. Sad.
Hi, we lived there in Tamuning in the new Perezville neighborhood about the same time. I seem to recall someone had a rope hanging diwn to the bittom to climb in and out.
Hi Bro, take care in that place maybe there are many alligator or snakes there in big sink hole. Fullywatched. New friend Bro. I will wait for my change friend.
thats been there since the forever... first time i been there was in 1986 LOL you should be careful walking over it though they found people who fell in and died from broken neck in there few times.... the top portion still coroded too can collapse... but yeah im local and i know about that place when i was like 5. some people believe its a bomb hole and not a sink hole. because that area was bombed during world war 2 there are other hole just up ahead near the cliffline to possibly confirm that theory.
Someone else mentioned the idea that it might be a bomb hole. I’ll have to look into it a bit more to find out. It seems like an odd shape for a bomb hole. I’ll have to walk the coastline and find the others.
In all my almost 50 years of living on Guam, I never knew or saw that sinkhole. Wow, thanks for the vid
Haha glad I could show you something new :)
According to UOG biologists Dusit Thani and Outrigger have sinkholes under them as well. But Nothing to worry about until theres a earth quake. 😮

Nice! Thanks for sharing, full support and stay safe!
LOL'ed at the last Karen, great video, keep it up
I figured a Karen was gonna pop up behind me and push me in the sinkhole lol
@@tayloredstory8241 You didn't stick around long enough, apparently. 😏
Thanks for sharing this, much alofa’s.
Hafa Adai, Luaao!
Wow~ I was curious every day, but the entrance was blocked, so I thought I'd be in trouble if I went in. Thank you for the video.
Got my attention....need to check this one out👍🏾🤙🏾
It’s a cool spot and it only takes about 2 minutes to walk there from the park
please be careful & respectful around things hidden inside the jungle, glad you came out safe & sound! 😁🙏🏽
taotaomona will get you if you dont. there have been people foound dead in those holes. which are more than 1.
Nice find
Thanks... somebody told me about it a while back and I just now got around to checking it out
Oo ima go there
Grew up on Island and would have never known about this if it wasnt for you. Thanks! Watch out for Karen
I'm hoping to come back to the island soon. I never saw this when I was living there (2000-2003).
Its definitely worth checking out. Plus, its only a 5 minute walk from the park parking lot
Hardly a secret, Devil's Punchbowl
Hi Dave. Are you the same Dave Lotz that authored "The Best Tracks on Guam."
If so, I love your work!
@@tayloredstory8241 yes I am. Thanks for the video on the Devil's Punchbowl. At one time there was a sign there.
There is an even bigger hole across the main road... but it might just look like a quarry.

Maybe it is a lava tube? Guam was SO much prettier when there was NO tourist district. Just beautiful villages, jungle and military bases.
If you chill there for awhile quietly you'll see deer and pigs walk around the bottom or go there after a big storm or typhoon it will be full of water with multiple waterfalls along the lip of the hole
I've been watching for deer but still haven't seen one. I've seen plenty of pigs... about ran one over with my car lol
Yeah deer are rare in comparison to the wild pig sightings.

A friend I knew from the beach fell into that hole and died 15 years ago...be careful!
Someone told me about that guy on Facebook. It’s a sad story 😢
Shout out my new friend
Just checked. The gate is locked now..

What?? I never even knew that was there this whole time 😱 I used to work out and swim at the Hilton too!
"Karen! Karen was here!" I died 🤣
Its kind of in a weird spot... There really isn't any other reason to go into that area. I saw "Karen" on the tree and I couldn't resist 😂

If you go to other side of the road you will see a massive hole there
Is Guam bike friendly
Just don’t be an idiot, too much people get hit these days

This is not a sinkhole. It is a former quarry, as there are several around the island
What is it?
Devil's cave 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Devils punch ball
Uh... I’m only knowing bout this sink hole now 🙃
haha several people have mentioned they didn't know it existed.
