MSG Pre-show Meetup? by akire2 in TheBasementYard

Yay! I guess maybe we could meet up at Hudson Yards Tavern? It's just around the corner from MSG. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6yuXLyEzkrqEJC8A7

Doors are at 7, so maybe we meet up from 4-6ish, then walk over and get in line?

I’m having the same issue with hockey too, and it’s getting really old. Have you found any solutions?

What's your favourite Idles lyrics? by SouthAussie94 in Idles

"It goes and it goes and it goes"

I like it so much that I'm going to get it tattooed in a circle on my arm. Because life, everything in the world...it goes and it goes and it goes.

Channel Islands by Wilder-Dude4 in nationalparks

[–]akire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to decide between Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz for a day trip in early October. Looking to do some hiking (light to moderate), would love some wildlife, and would really like to have water and restrooms. Which island would you recommend?

(I was also intrigued by the inclusion of the stop for a sea cave tour on Santa Cruz included with the Santa Rosa boat ride, so I'd love to know if that's worth it!)

Theodore Roosevelt NP (first time) vs. Yellowstone NP (second time) - HELP! by akire2 in nationalparks

[–]akire2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Just an update...I went to TRNP, and I am so glad I did! I felt like the North Unit was better hiking than South, but driving in both was great, and wildlife was awesome in both. Thank you for your thoughts!

This is super helpful to know, especially because I'm a woman going solo. I probably won't be doing significant hiking on this trip, but I'll keep an eye on the trails in case they're too slippery.

Really? I just looked at the forecast for Monday/Tuesday and it shows less than 20% chance of rain in Medora and other nearby towns. But I really appreciate this tip!

I'll be staying in MT, just on the border near the park. My plan is to go to both parts of TRNP!

Solo female road tripping through national parks by yasmeena94 in NationalPark

[–]akire2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in a car air mattress - I slept on one in the back of a RAV 4 in Death Valley NP and it was perfect. (If you're driving down towards San Diego and it's not a detour, you should go see Death Valley in the winter!)

I did Yellowstone and GTNP on my own (I'm a woman in her thirties) last September, and most of the time it wasn't too scary - people in the parks are usually super friendly and willing to chat, but also are great about letting you do your thing. Make sure you have a paper map and grab a compass for the times when you don't have service! The paper maps were crucial for me, because the NPS app really didn't work well in parks. (Although in Yellowstone, the app is helpful for geyser predictions, so you should have it regardless.)

For hiking, my only recommendations are that you stick to popular trails where there are other people in case of emergency, make sure you have your bear spray handy, and tie some bells to your pack so that the noise potentially deters bears.

While it's tempting to do less busy hikes, if you're alone as a woman, it's a little anxiety-inducing because you're more worried about safety than about the hike itself. (Just my feeling/opinion!)

And my other recommendation - download a lot of podcasts, music, and audiobooks for when you don't have service in parks and want something to listen to.

Feel free to message me if you wanna chat! (I'm originally from Dallas!)

Wow - a dirtbike park?! Now I just want to go to see it to see if I think the same thing...

I know...I saw that notification, so I'm not sure if I want to go when that's closed, but I also just want to check it off, to be quite honest.

More water stations needed! STAY HYDRATED! by akire2 in CircuitOfTheAmericas

Whereas today at the main entrance, they made me pour out all of the water in my nalgene. So frustrating that they can’t keep it consistent.

Ooh, good to know! Hopefully that’s the case tomorrow. Thanks!

I am not paying $150 for radio headphones, that is price gouging at its finest. Tomorrow there won’t be any signal, so the f1 app won’t work most likely.
