Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden at the Latte stone site on Tinian called Taga House. Taga House is located in a maintained park near the dock area of San Jose Village. Taga House is located about 50 feet from the road and is easy to find.

The cache is a 35 mm film canister with a green geocache label on it. Inside the canister are a log sheet and some worn Roman coins. This is a tourist spot, but is usually fairly quiet, as is most of the rest of Tinian. The only time you have to be careful of muggles is when a tourist bus is nearby or during one of the local celebrations.

Latte stones are stone pillars that the natives of the Mariana Islands, Chamorros, used to build their houses on top of. A Latte set usually consisted of between 8 to 14 stone staff stones with cap stones in two parallel rows.

Taga House was the largest set of Latte stones used by the Chamorros in the Mariana Islands.
