| Passing through the "gate way" to Tarague Beach on Anderson Air Force Base for the first time
will always be remembered. As you drove through the high plateau terrain toward the north shore of Guam
through the break in the cliffs and then the breathtaking view at the edge of the cliffs. Rota, Guam’s
nearest neighboring island about 40 miles north, could be seen on clear days. Looking down from the "gate way" of Tarague Beach. Looking to the left, towards the Phillipine Sea, from the "gate way" of Tarague Beach. Looking to the right, towards the Pacific Ocean, from the "gate way" of Tarague Beach |

| Walking along Tarague Beach was allowed up to a point and then signs would warn of dangers or
restricted areas. Another good photo opportunity at Tarague Beach. Helms is pictured on the right, his buddies name has been forgotten over the years. The 4th picture courtesy of Robert Flemming AE2 VW-1 1957-1958 |

| Tarague Beach was protected by a reef several hundred yards off shore, this helped keep the
waters crystal clear and provided easy swimming. Hochstein is at the top of the pyramid, Helms is pictured on
the left. Hochstein is pictured on the left, the name of the other man has been forgotten. The clarity of the warm waters around Guam can easily be seen in this picture. Snorkeling along the edges of the various reefs was a favorite past time. The abundance of wildly colorful tropical fishes, sea shells and reefs were truly amazing. Hochstein is pictured on the left Helms is on the right. This picture of Helms in the waters of Tarague Beach illustrate the clarity of the water around Guam. |
