Most people have never heard of Saipan. Here are some rough directions to give you an idea where it is:
Fly west from California for 5 hours. Change planes in Hawaii and continue west for another 7 hours or so. Turn right in Guam and head North for half an hour or more.
You wont be disappointed. Saipan is a beautiful island with a lot to offer. On this web site I welcome you to see my pictures taken around the 14 mile long by 5 mile wide island and decide for yourself.
I decided to make this web site when I tried to find pictures and short descriptions of various places in the world that my wife and I may want to vacation. All I could find were internet businesses trying to sell me something. There is nothing to buy on this site and I'm not trying to sell anything.

Below are some of my miscellaneous videos that didn't seem to fit on any of the other pages.
The video below is about the Boonie Dogs of Saipan which are descendants of American WWII military dogs. In Saipan, the military did not need the big attack dogs but needed the sniffer dogs to find the Japanese hiding in the caves. Since WWII, the once heroic combat dogs mixed together and became what we now call Boonie Dogs. The Boonie Dogs seem to be a mix between Bloodhound, Labrador, Rottweiler, and German Shepard. Do you notice another breed mixed in these dogs? Today their population is out of control and they are literally starving to death on the streets.

from around the 60's to the late 80's we were using these runways for 1/4 mile racing strip. Saipan now has an official 1/4 mile track.

Greetings!
My wife and I lived in Saipan for 11 years. She was the principal of the Saipan SDA School and I was a teacher there. We just relocated to the U.S. Mainland about a year ago. We loved living there and I really enjoyed looking at your beautiful pictures of the place we still consider home.
I came across your website looking for maps that indicate Saipan's location. I wanted to ask if it would be all right if I used your map for a digital book about Saipan that I'm creating for my middle school students.
Thanks for your consideration of my request. You can leave a comment on my own blog in reply or e-mail me at maycocksean@hotmail.com. Thanks again.

Me thinks you might have a little problem with a title search and mortgage on House #3 . That 6 in cannon needa a lot of Hoppe's #9 or WD-40 to get it in shape also :)
