| | | Well, no trespassing signs on an abandoned building means someone cares about it to a certain extent. However, don't let them turn you away! If you are in rural texas or even urban parts of Texas, yes people own guns. There are also castle laws in Texas. If you are exploring buildings on the side of the road, I'm sure you would be fine. If you had to trek 2 miles into someones land that they personally live on I would be worried. And the factory thing, it depends if its rural or urban once again. If it's a rural area, it may just be unknown to most people but there is certainly a possibility that someone lives onsite. In an urban area like Dallas or Houston, I would be inclined to believe it wasn't abandoned if it didn't have any grafitti, broken windows, boards, power etc. Good luck in texas! Pear

| | | I don't know if there is a clear answer for this. Texas is big, with the size of Texas you do not only have drastic environmental differences but also differences in the people that inhabit these areas. I'm primarily a rural explorer, so I can't speak to the cities so much. Small towns and country side is my favorite. Rural South Texas is different in my opinion than rural West or East Texas. I have no experiences in the Northern region. I know here a lot the Coastal areas there is still a lot of damage from the Hurricane we had last season. There are still areas that are sensitive to looting and these communities are, in my mind, not the place to explore right now. People are still picking up pieces of thier houses, they do not want people, innocent as it might be, wandering around taking pics. Being from Europe, you might want to be sure to prepare for our weather. It is getting hot here. But this also greatly depends on what area of Texas you are going to. Snakes, and a crap load of stinging bugs that are mean as hell are starting to move around. Lots of rural Texas also is the home for stray dogs. But I worry more about domesticated dogs. They are territorial, strays run away, domesticated ones chase you, or at least me, back to your car. I've even had my car circled by dogs biting my tires and bumpers. Swung an umbrella out the window at one of them, there is now a dog walking around with my umbrella.
Yeah, exploring in Texas, prepare for everything. You might die, but don't let that stop you. Drive around from small town to small town and you will see a LOT of stuff. Don't die.

| | | Posted by 2Xplorations Now lets hear those heroic man-eating hog fighting / narrow escape stories!
| My friends and I used to engage in what we called “hoggin”, but there were no actual hogs involved. Let’s just say I won’t be running for office. Ever. In my younger days spent at our ranch, there were a couple times hunters ended up in a tree because of a protective momma hog. They normally carried a good size side arm for those instances, not advised for exploring. I do have friends that hunt hogs with dogs and knives. I think they are crazy. Those hogs have a lot of power and weight, while not naturally aggressive, I would not want tussle with one. Only time I've taken a knife to one is cubing out for sausage. lol
