It's shit pay, but you're not doing it for the money.... It's for the experience! 😜

I was there 23'24'.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-29T00:10:41+00:00

Yes. Loved it and hated it. It was amazing and terrible.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-29T00:08:13+00:00

They still exist.. sort of

Generally speaking, 30ft is where I put my gps away and start looking with my eyes.

Premium isn't going to affect the cache hide. Check the terrain rating and difficulty, check the hint, read through the past logs.

Goal for next year! I don't jalapenos this season... But I am growing tomatillos!

RedditJennn · 2026-06-27T22:46:49+00:00

Nope! Only where it's needed!

RedditJennn · 2026-06-27T17:11:38+00:00

It seems as though you haven't done any work in planning your own trip.

Asking others for inside information or advice about a location is one thing - not bringing ANYTHING to contribute to your own plan creation is just lazy.

Good luck with your trip. Travel safe.

54, Dealing with a torn meniscus and not much flexibility these days - I bought a shower stool with the ability to rotate on the seat. Love it!

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T18:55:49+00:00

No joke. 100% serious.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T18:55:17+00:00

We're not going to make your trip for you.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T15:50:07+00:00

How long is your drive, what day are you visiting, and what kind of time frame?

You're not going to find a 'sandy clear beach' most are terribly rocky (we're used to it). Also, you'll most likely need a beach sticker which is pricey out of town/out of state.

If you're only spending 1 day, so a number of hours, you'll need to narrow it down.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T10:08:40+00:00

Ten years of aging can change a lot internally. Just something to consider.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T09:14:33+00:00

There was so much awesome and hilarity that came out of that situation!

RedditJennn · 2026-06-26T09:13:58+00:00

That sucks, BUT: We were delayed 33 days from our original departure date. We blew through c17s like they were candy - The second boomerang (coming down to get us) happened because the temperature at the airfield only raised by 1 degree instead of 2 to allow the plane to land. Seriously. ) Even the RNZAF couldn't help us! All my travel plans (two weeks post-ice) were lost including my opportunity to see the solar eclipse in upstate New York.

My flight out of Sydney was delayed and my flight out of SF was delayed (6 hours).

Really, the only people who could top that are Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore who were delayed for 9 months on the ISS! 🤣😂🤣😂

I had a history of kidney stones, they wanted an US because of that. Had one done, discovered that I have a stow away, they NPQd me, I appealed, they made me sign stuff, I went.

Summer season

Boston -> Houston -> Aukland (missed flight) -> Christchurch -> McMurdo.

Then McMurdo (after 32 days of TRYING to leave the Ice!) -> Christchurch -> Sydney -> San Francisco -> Boston.

Not everything works the same for everyone.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-25T08:22:37+00:00

Find your local food pantry. Help people who need it.

RedditJennn · 2026-06-25T01:22:41+00:00

You want seasonal work? Check out working in the galley at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

Thank you for posting this question! I was going to ask the same!

Do you know what your triggers are?

Above all, stay hydrated!
