I got sent to a new site which is like living in real life IMAX and got a few photos I can share. Closest hospital is 7 hours away on a good day.

I have a boring mundane job. I do travel a lot in the state of WV but I'm never really remote. Good idea for a thread.

I did ordnance clean up on Umnak Island in the Aleutian Islands. Just a handful of people have been there since WWII. I have also worked at other remote areas where it takes days to get there by plane or boat.

I hired our last employee coming off a gig at the South Pole. I'd winter over there.

Its a mine, I'm an electrician by trade. No I do not go underground. I spent the last two years working local building a federal max prison so this is a nice change.

It's beautiful, where is it? And do they mine? What is the living quarters like?
Better than a prison I hate working at a prison, it is just so depressing.

Used to work in BFE WY when I worked oil field, got some great pics that I'll have to dig up. Only one I have uploaded is my night light.

How did you like Guam?

 

[Shifty Powers]

looks like a Gold/Silver mine?

So you are an electrician by trade. So I can presume that is why you are there. To keep those systems running.

That is pretty cool! I presume being contract work, how long are you to be stationed there?

If you like warm & humid, Guam is the place. Average temp. is 81*.
Guam cured me of ever wanting to live in a warm climate year round.

I spent a year on Saipan. I absolutely loved it.

For those that don't know, Saipan is the same island chain.

Gold, it's new construction, probably be here for a few months, maybe more. It's an 18hr trip each way and we are 14/7 shift so it'll get old

I run a performance shop, so suburbia is my abode.

Wanna trade?

I'll trade you for all the twin turbo and supercharged Ford / Mopars you can handle.

Speaking of, let me update my shop thread.
