Urban Exploring

[Ethan]

There is an activity called "Urban Exploring."

I'm not involved with it, but a friend came across the UER site which contained some forums and pictures from locals that do.

This activity is tresspassing in most cases, since all land in the US is owned by somebody, and most of it is somebody other than you.

The upside is these people document landmarks that are generally on their way out, never to be seen again.

This site has photos from the Vault in Norfolk, which was torn down to make way for the Granby Towers condo project. There are some other sites on there as well.

It may be an interesting read to some:

I once explored an abandoned building over by the trash facility in Portsmouth. There were four of us but two stayed in the car. Whatever company was there left in a hurry.

First step in urban exploring:

1.  Leave Hampton Roads

I once explored an underpass in new jersey close to manhattan- I went clubbing and didnt leave enough money to get a hotel room and realised I was too sleepy to drive home to philly, which was a rather stupid idea in retrospect!

My gal pal and I stayed in the car while we "explored" lol.
