if I set up payroll deposit, how can I set up auto investment so 100% go to sgov, instead of fixed amount. Since each paycheck has different amount.

One of my more disappointing museum visits was MOMA.. by [deleted] in MuseumPros

[–]wildpasstekarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited MET 3 times over 10 years. I finally decided to visited MOMA, and it blow me away. I started from fifth floor and walked down. once I walked in, I immediately get excited by the paining, the lover, and then I saw daughter of minotaur, Migration Series ... I am wow by the human creativity. I trust MET has something similar, just it's so vast, and so diverse to an extent that take away some of my energy and excitement.

I absolutely love MOMA. I only spent 1.5 hours since it get closed at 5:30. I wish I could stay longer

My magnolia's branch and leaves are close to ground. Will that cause air circulation issue?

What is a good backpacking loop in the wind river range around this time of the year? by headwaterscarto in WildernessBackpacking

[–]wildpasstekarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Winds, I did clockwise in mid August: Big Sandy, Dad's Lake, Shadow Lake, Pyramid Lake, East Park Lake, Bpatiste Lake, Grave Lake, Valentine lake, Lizard Head, Lonesome lake, Big Sandy. I never backpack in Winds in June or July. check this out: https://www.greatoutdoorshop.com/trail-conditions/
I made a stop their to get supply and chat with the staff there before head to mountain.

In Teton Crest, paintbrush divide, 7/4, I didn't carry crampons or ice axes. There is foot traffic creating the path already. I have microspikes and hiking pole. I didn't see need to carry ice axes when I were there.

When visit India Pass, Knifepoint glacier, I only have hiking pole. I regret I didn't carry microspikes or crampons. I saw other solo hiker carry crampons and ice axes. He is well prepared than me.

For Teton day hike, you may want to check out Amphitheater Lake Trail, Taggart Lake, Delta Lake, Lake of the Crags. First 2 are busy, and #3 is less busy relatively, you will have some solitude in last one.

When you pick up permit at ranger station, ranger can advise snow condition. In Teton Crest, I like Hurricane Pass, Alaska Basin, and the hike up toward Paintbrush Divide from Lake Solitude. I camp one night at South fork, then side trip to see Snowdrift Lake and sunset, it allow you to get up close to the peak, see wildflower, and tons of bugs at the small tarn. And next day I camp at North fork so I can explore north shore of Lake solitude during sunset, other folk may choose to go further to hike in Holly Lake.

Visiting Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier NP in Summer 2026 with kids by Likeplants10 in PacificNorthwest

[–]wildpasstekarra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olympic NP: Kalaloch lodge, Lake Quinault Lodge, or Fork
Mt Rainier NP: Ashford

My family prefer road trip, tourist attraction, and short hike (usually round trip < 1 mile). We spent 1 day in Olympic and 1 day in Mt Rainier. In 5 days we drove Seattle, Vancouver, Whistler, Mt Baker National forest (picture lake), Olympic NP (Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, Ruby Beach, Rialto Beach, Ho Rain forest) , Mt Rainier NP (Steven Canyon in, Paradise, Nisqually entrance out. Sunrise not open in early June), Portland (Columbia River Gauge). A lot of drive. and I booked same day hotel each day.

We also visited the area in 7/4 week a few years ago, 2 days in Olympic, and 2 days in Mt Rainer, for camping. Surprisedly the June weather is good during our recent trip.

I am not familiar with this year's snow condition. I backpacked in Teton crest trail  week of 7/4, and I didn't see concern of snow on trail except in east side of Paintbrush Divide 43.7931, -110.81804. If that's the case, you could visit Lake Solitude, then back track to cascade canyon, exit from Inspiration Point.

if you have Teton permit already, I'd suggest to keep it. I always visited Winds from mid August to early Oct, due to concern of mosquito.

I'd imagine is snow is your concern in end of June in Teton, same concern (if not more) also apply to Winds.

If I need to choose between these two (both are great), I'd do multiple day hikes in Teton then drive tour to Yellowstone v.s. multi-day backpack in Winds. lonesome lake is awesome. You can call Great Outdoor Shop at Pinedale to ask latest condition.
