Hey Gang,

I'm loving the 2016 wrap up posts and looking forward to seeing all the others to come.

For me, 2016 was more productive than 2015 with more locations visited than any other year. No tickets, no arrests and no (serious) injuries.

I started my year as always by exploring a drain, I made my annual visit to Detroit in May, did a day in Buffalo NY and my annual visit to the Poorhouse, made a return visit to that place with that stained glass dome, hit some places that were fully intact and many that were not, I told a great story about how an explorer made an unexpected friend, I might have seen a ghost, I pretended to see a ghost and I made sure the selfie and crew shot game was strong - even getting my daughter involved.

In total I visited 101 abandoned/vacant places, I had a shit load of laughs with my partner RiddimRyder and I got out with a few other great people, meeting them for the first time, or bumping into others unexpectedly.

I've tried to keep these in order but they're not - I hope you all had a great year with little to no regrets and lots of great times.

Thanks for looking and so sorry for the pic heavy post!!


Here's to an amazing year past and an better year to come!

Good stuff man. Looks like a rather productive year!

Amazing locations and photos as normal. Here's hoping we meet up next year

Personal favourite #15 from the out of order randoms...what a headfuck that is.

I'm so envious of you guys who can squeeze in so many outings in a year. I really appreciate the variety apparent in your shots.

I've been curious since I saw the photos on Flickr: Where did that game show set touch you to make you hate it so much?

Thanks mate, #15 was probably one of my dumbest decisions in terms of safety, I don't know what was holding this one up, knowing that Ground State was out in the car waiting for me was the only reason I decided to venture deeper inside.

Post by Furious D Good stuff man. Looks like a rather productive year!

I wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks man

great stuff man, 101 locations, thats hittin it hard, congratulations

Awesome stuff bud! You got to so many amazing spots this year! You truly are a inspiration. Hopefully we can meet up for some 'splorin in 2017.

Post by EsseXploreR Wow dude, you had a hell of a year. We should try and get together sometime next year

Man, you are one of those guys who over the last 2-3 years I have wanted to make a road trip to explore with...maybe this will be the year!! Keep up the awesome work you're doing in NJ and beyond

Great stuff, I really like that casket lift? I am assuming that was on an upper level of a funeral home.

Damn dude you really had one amazing year! There are some real gems in here. I always love your stuff! I think the best I've ever had was something like 35-40 or so places in a year. I'm extremely jealous! Cheers to 2017 being just as productive! Hit me up if you're ever in the area.

Absolutely, you as well!!!!

Awesome shots. That staircase in 15 is badass. Also cool to see they're going forward fixing up Farwell.

Nice work bud! Going to be interesting to see what you guys get up to in '17!

Always love your houses. And just a heap of gold stars for the daughter/dad photo ideas and execution. Looks awesome and so much fun. Keep on keeping on.
