I really regret not doing more to try to save Old King Coal. I wish I had lead a big local campaign to save the place. Like the whole "Save Greystone" thing - I wish I had at least attempted to make something like that happen. I think about that a lot.

I'm regretting not doing this UE thing sooner. I've been using Bing Maps Bird's-Eye view and it's a bit out of date. I've found some real gems over 100 years old that sadly no longer exist. I find something that looks cool and visit in person (or double-check with Google maps) and there is nothing but grass left. It's damn depressing.

And another place I should have explored and never made the opportunity.

I never even knew it was abandoned until this year, I had only seen it from Route 1 and thought it was a cool building. Sad day.

What kind of building is that? some sort of power plant?

I wish I had discovered urban exploring sooner. I used to live in downtown Atlanta and could of seen a lot more. Especially before they "revitalized" the city. Other then that I don't have any regrets with my explores. I love exploring and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Leaving it too late to explore this place. RIP.

Well I was in Cyprus once and didn't take advantage of that by visiting Varosha. That's hardly a regret though, just something that would have been sick to see in person.

What I regret most is not taking enough pictures and documenting my explorations. Specifically in cases such as this one place I found in the woods. It was an abandoned house, and it wasn't so much the house itself but what was behind it. In the backyard (if you could call it that) there was a collection of rusted old busses, cars, military trucks and, I shit you not, a helicopter with army markings. It was definitely the coolest place I have ever found on my own. I snapped a few pictures and marked the location on my phone. Unfortunately shortly after my phone got destroyed, and I was too dumb to write the location anywhere else. I've since been unable to ever find the spot again to document it properly.

Anything that was demolished in the blink of an eye without getting a chance to set foot inside. Worse yet, the ones I have on my list, with some free time to go out, but end up saying, 'nah next time.'

I missed to climb and explore alot of buildings because I was too young.

My city had alot of abandoned train buildings that used to repair, service and store old trains. My brother is 10 years older than me and he was lucky enough to go on top of all these buildings and inside.

All of these buildings have been either demolished but most of them are refurbished and in use for businesses.

In a word... none!

Been putting off this one location for quite a while. Drove by it the other day, and they were installing 'NO TRESPASSING' signs. Makes it that much tougher to explore.

A year ago I was dumb enough to try and check out a live construction site with three buddies of mine. We weren't being loud and we weren't disrupting any of the tools or the finished work, but the security saw us on the surveillance cameras and they had to escort us out.
Even though it was a bummer to be caught, it was obvious that we would since it was still being built and wasn't abandoned.
I talked to the security guard on the way out (have to say they were really nice about the situation) and found out he also liked to explore abandoned places/caves/mines. We had a nice 5 minute talk till we parted ways.

I was there for about 6 hours on the 28th of August, one of my top 5 explores ever. Friends I was visiting let me know it had been demolished just 2 weeks later, so sad, I was hoping to go again next time I'm in Boston.

One of the places that I frequently explore how the northeast gave me a chance un see one of the only buildings I have not gotten the chance to explore on campus. However with it being close to the Halloween time and knowing what goes on during this time I chose to step away from the only shot I have had yet to see this building and back away from a lit exit sign(one of the very few I have seen on the entire property) and away from a door inside of a mechanical tunnel that bypassed the usual barricade that blocks the main tunnel system and would have allowed possible access to the small amount of this infamous place that I have yet to catalogue. That chance is now gone since the water has been pumped from the area they were working and the Halloween attraction is days from being in full swing. I wish I would have just went forward instead of letting my paranoid UE partner talk me away from the door. I won't let this stop me from trying to see the campus in it's entirety but its definitely a regret!

Posted by Jwiz it's entirety but its definitely a regret!

Can't you just see it again when that's over?

Posted by enirus Can't you just see it again when that's over?

That entrance has now been sealed. It was open for a brief period because the had hoses coming out and a water pump clearing the tunnels under one of the buildings where they use partial tunnels in the attraction. And I am aware of alarms in two buildings and wouldn't test that door again if it wasn't already cracked to allow the water hoses

That Ninj and I couldn't get our scheduled to mesh when he was in town, I would have loved to take him to Danvers State


Also I always wanted to watch session 9 inside danvers, but at the time the technology to do so was pretty expensive. and smart phones wernt a thing yet..

Being able to to be inside a beautiful hundred year old school as an extra in a movie shoot when I was way too young to be into UE. But my feelings are not so much regret as much they are anger, because my stupid city tore it down to build a Shopper's Drug Mart of all things. Breaks my heart.

Here's the school:

This weekend I saw an asylum I had wanted to see for so long.

However, nowadays the few buildings left unconverted into housing are little more than shells, stripped back to bare brick and with no floors at all.

I wish I had seen this place in it's heyday, when it was all still left. Asylums in the UK aren't too well known for being exceptionally beautiful places however this place is the most beautiful damn asylum I have ever seen.

We arrived outside when it was still dark, and coupled with the pouring rain that morning made it seem exceptionally creepy. Excuse the crap photo, as it was raining so hard I didn't fancy getting my already slightly broken camera wet.
