Rochester Exploring Week 2010
< on 5/25/2010 5:35 AM >

Posted on Forum: UER Forum
I imagine most of you know by now about the "other meet in town" this summer, but while it may be the biggest, and the best, it's not the only UER event in Rochester this year!

Rochester Exploring Week 2010 is coming up from August 30 to September 9, including Labor day weekend. It's not your ordinary meet, or even convention, but 10 days of exploring at 47 locations.

There will be 16 or so separate meet-up times, so don't worry if you aren't free for anywhere near all of the 10 days, you're still just as much a part of it even if you can only go for a few hours of one day.

Everyone is welcome at 40+ of these places, including total n00bs and even non-explorers. (for a few of the more challenging places, we ask that you have explored at least one building previously; but there's plenty of opportunities to do just that at this meet, so as long as you plan at least one day in advance, all is open to everyone).

Please RSVP at the event page if you are interested in going to any part of the meet. Once you are RSVP'd as definitely or maybe attending, or if you contact me by PM you will be added to the event's private board which includes, among other things, a specific list of all 47 locations, and discussion of attendance, meeting places, transportation, et cetera for each day.



An approximate breakdown of locations on the meet:
47 total places
-----
30 buildings and complexes
9 drains
7 outdoor explorations (bridges, ruins, etc)
1 tower
-----
22 within 4 miles of downtown Rochester
6 locations 4-50 miles away
18 locations 50-75 miles away
1 location 75-100 miles away
-----
23 locations on condemned or public property (zero risk areas)
20 low-risk areas (no one from UER has been caught at before)
4 medium-risk areas (exactly one group has been caught at)
-----
35 locations in UER DB
12 locations not in UER DB

(bump)

12 weeks until the event!

All parts in downtown Rochester are definitely still on, waiting for one or more drivers to confirm for the other days.

T-70 DAYS
until the start of Rochester Exploring Week (assuming anyone shows up)!

Updates:
1. To try to increase meet attendance, we will reimburse any drivers at approximately 150% of the cost of gas for driving within the meet (this does not include getting to Rochester, only going to and from locations, but it makes the formula simple for locals: Meet up --> Explore --> ???? --> PROFIT!!!!)

2. Location #40 is demolished. This combined with the existing blank for Sunday afternoon means that 9/5 (day 7) is YOUR day if anyone wants to have a real meet within the exploring week and go to some higher level locations than I am including in the event itself.

3. Just because there's another meet at the end of July that's 10 times bigger and has all the cool people going to it, doesn't mean that you can't go (or send some of your total noob friends who like your photos but you'd never trust exploring with you) to this one. Veteran explorers, IT'S NOT FOR YOU so don't complain that the locations are boring/everyone's been there, this event is intended for new and future members who join UER between now and October if at all.


Total driving miles for each day will be approximately as follows:
8/30: 10
8/31: 184
9/1: 60
9/2: 4
9/3: 135
9/4: 100
9/5: 94*
9/6: 210
9/7: 12
9/8: 8
9/9: 0

For the purposes of calculation, we will assume that your vehicle gets 17½ miles per gallon, and that 3/2 of the cost of gas will be $4.38 per gallon, for a reimbursement of 25¢ per mile driven.

Non-drivers attending the meet are encouraged to contribute $3/day (optional), I will pay the difference for the first driver each day to attend.

13 DAYS
until the meet!


Disregard almost everything from the previous post (about reimbursement/travel costs);

Other important updates:
Location #17 (Image City facility) canceled due to increased security on the premises

Location #43 (JN Adams) canceled due to already high security level and unfavorable response to exterior-only trip

Location #43a (TBD): 7th day of the event will be in Liverpool, Fulton and/or Oswego, NY to provide a local day for the Syracuse region explorers likely to attend.
