| | | I'll put Madison's hat in the ring. I know for sure of at least two locations that are certainly abandoned and accessible, well as one storm drain that I've seen for myself, and two others that someone reliable told me were accessible. I can confirm the accessibility of one steam tunnel network, though it is heavily alarmed and the average police response time for said tunnels is under five minutes. I also have leads on:
- one more storm drain
- Two abandoned buildings that may or may not be abandoned by the time this meetup happens
- One abandoned building that may or may not be accessible.
- One massive industrial location that is semi-abandoned, but neither I nor any other explorer I've talked to has found a way into yet- though we do have some ideas.
- Several construction cranes and a few rooftops, though the cranes are, of course, temporary.
- The streets and foundations of a neighborhood that was abandoned partway through construction and was reclaimed by the forest
- Several collapsed barns and farms surrounding the city.
There's enough here for at least half a day's worth of exploring, maybe even a full day (much more if that massive industrial complex pans out). I can easily rent a campfire pit right by the lake so we could have a cookout/campfire if the weather is nice- though the park does not allow overnight camping, and there's not enough room for guests in my single-room apartment, so people would have to find their own lodging and food. But still, we could meet in Madison for lunch, go see a few abandonments and call it a day- or do much more, if the larger drains and industrial complex pan out (though it's not a guarantee). We could also make it a weekend-long, multi-city thing: start in Madison one day, drive about 1.5 hours to Milwaukee or Rockford and see more stuff there the next day, maybe stop at other places along the way (like the GM plant in Janesville, if it's still standing).

| This is exactly the sort of thing I was requesting. Thanks a TON for your time Aran! I am thinking we could the "both" thing. As in a pre-dawn start in MadTown, then a late afternoon departure to a 2nd location for perhaps camping. Overnight explores from the camp site, and/or pre-dawn.... Posted by relux I'm interested in Milwaukee.
| If relux can put together a similar MKE location list, I can check on current status of each, and we could call that our 2nd location. I again offer my place up to meet, shack, drink, whatever. Fireplace on the patio. 2 couches, 4 empty bedrooms, one with a queen, one with a twin, the other 2 literally empty. Bring your own bedding in case you are stuck with the floor of an empty room. If this turns into a blowout, I can also open up the camper in the driveway. This is a perfect start! All we need now is a date, then we can post up on the event planner to finalize the deets on explore locations and accommodations. I can do weekends of: 9/29, 10/13, 11/10 or 24, 12/8. We know anything in Oct and later can be unpredictable. Oct-Dec could be 70's, or <>0 with 18" of snow. I personally am not afraid of weather. I have tent camped below 0 in a blizzard before, and regularly winter camp. So - 2 semi-solid locations, with potential accommodations, a wide range of dates. If those seriously interested would throw some dates out, we can advance this to the event planner. So stoked!!!!

| 9/29, 10/27, 11/10, and 12/8 work for me. How do people feel about 9/29? A month away is probably long enough for people who work weekends to ask off work, and the weather will still be nice by then- plus, it gives enough time for the flooding here in Madison to be long gone. If Mr Bitey handles things on the Milwaukee end, I can handle things on the Madison end if 9/29 works for everyone else.
