| | | Three stages of my life, you could say. Growing up in the "suburb" of Kansas City that was literally a couple blocks from the "hood" me and the homie would travel as far as our bikes and elementary school legs would take us. Exploring drains, railroad cars, backyards, etc. We kinda shelved the trespassing stuff when we got chased out of some guys three row vineyard as he waved what we still swear was a shotgun. Fast forward to 2010 when I started working at Lansing Correctional Facility - built in 1859. I used to volunteer for security check overtime on night shift which took me allover the grounds, basements, old warehouses, the farms, etc. I got to see some absolutely awesome, and pretty friggin creepy, places. The old territorial jailhouse is still standing and is a cool place I can say I have spent a lot of time in. A while back the girl and I got into watching Explore With Us and then Explore With Josh (and now everyone else) on YouTube. We've been going out and checking out some cool places and have since gotten my little brother and his girlfriend in on it as well. New camera will be here Friday and I'll be able to start sharing some with you.

| | | like most, it started from when I was much younger and never knew that "urban exploring" was a thing I spent a lot of time in the woods around my childhood home, deeper into the woods was actually remnants of an abandoned coal mine facility. Which considered of a warehouse, mine cart tracks and random stuff I would find. Farther up in the woods there was also a tiny junkyard filled with old abandoned cars, even a semi before. I would spend hours up there finding new things and exploring. I practically grew up there when I was a little child, I should make it up there sometime again but it always seems to be a sad visit And it just processed, Just this feeling of adventure and thrill you find when you find a place. All the things that might be in there, the history, the smell, the look, Everything. I always hated how I feel that there is nothing new to discover, how we have everything documented, labeled and found. Having this as a hobby just gives me a sense that i'm discovering new things that others cant see, it makes me feel like I have something others don't, a experience in aspects that have long been over, and i'm thankful for that to some extent

| | | When I was younger, my family and I would go to the Fort Worden bunkers near Port Townsend almost every year during spring break, and that got me really interested in exploring abandoned places. I remember climbing the ladders,running through the empty hallways, and exploring the underground rooms there. Each year I went back I'd find new things and buildings that I didn't notice before. Then in middle school, I think, there was a house that got abandoned in the woods near my neighborhood. That was sort of like my first actual exploration. The house had books, dishes, and many things left behind, and there were plants growing all over. It was eventually demolished and now a new house got built there. I still regret that I didn't visit it more while it was still around. I eventually came to know that there was a community for urban exploration, but I didn't really start going to places until I graduated from high school last year (since I was so busy).
