I wouldn't go exploring with this flake again. On the bright side, you can go find happiness in the bottom of a bottle 'o Jack Daniels. Theres no better way to spend an evening.

The Non-UE attempt was due to not getting a proper address before heading out. We had the failed UE at a location I was at 3 years ago and when we got there this weekend, 90% of the site was demolished/being demolished. Lots of swearing, more of swearing, followed by a final barrage of swearing. We just found other places and will definitely get proper addresses and current site status info before trying to UE a place 7 hours from home. I found an abandoned drive-in movie theatre on our way home, so that made up (kind of) for the two disappointments in Montreal. C'est la vie! 01:14:16] <Chronic> Conrad...ya gotta go....

Amen to that, El Gordo, sounds like the best thing! i would say maybe a third of the time i am left choosing between going by myself or rescheduling in the hopes that certain folks will get their acts together by the next time exact same problem, ah well, not to worry, I will just have to explore alone or get a new exploring comrade, no probs..... uem-Tux  Iron Wok Jan Location: Montreal Gender: Male UE Geek  |  |  |  Re: damn i am depressed...failed explore <Reply # 9 on 7/6/2004 4:59 PM >   BCT Chronic: It just goes to show, that when you're in Montreal you should try to hook up with local explorers.

We thought our friend where we stayed, had his internet service still, but no such luck. We would have tried some of you from UEM. I was even going to get Excalibur to PM you or Nismo or someone, to give my ph. number to if interested. Anyhoo, we got some mis-information and never got to the Dow Was I ever disappointed about Westinghouse-CAMCO, down on Notre Dame E. It was a UE'ers playground 3 years ago!!! Now all but 10% is left. We will plan to hook up with UEM next time (I'm thinking early August???) 01:14:16] <Chronic> Conrad...ya gotta go....

Tupsumato  Location: Finland Gender: Male How close can you go?  |  Re: damn i am depressed...failed explore <Reply # 14 on 7/6/2004 5:55 PM >   My explorations have never failed because of exploration comrade(s) not being in agreed place in agreed time. We use IRC to arrange things, and if there's a problem, it'll be solved before anyone leaves for exploration. On the other hand, we haven't planned any explorations long beforehand yet; just something like "let's go exploring tomorrow, if it doesn't rain too much". But once I drove some 150 kilometres only to be driven away by the owner('s representative). Couple of times we've cancelled an exploration because of bad weather. There's also been some disappointments, and couple of times we've just driven around for couple of hours (expensive...), because we haven't found the site. And my friend has overslept... But well, those failures aren't that bad, when compared to betraying an agreed meeting All information and details given in good faith but not guaranteed!

He then said ring tomorrow to check, to which i said just send me a email or IM if you cant make it, as ill check those, no worries. This morning nothing before planned meet time, and the phone just rang out at his end.... ah well, I will only go on explores from now on when someone else does the arranging, i quit of going to all the bother of arranging how to get there/at what time/etc etc SnArF   |  Re: damn i am depressed...failed explore <Reply # 16 on 7/6/2004 7:14 PM >   Dude, I've had people be a no show at least 5 or 6 times and each time they do, I just say Fuck it, and get someone who wont ditch out on you. I wouldn't explore with this guy again, unless you go with more than 1 person, in which case if he doesn't show up, it doesn't matter.

I drove 30 km to an abandoned school only to find three cops parked in front of it. I considered going in through the back despite their presence, but it was too risky and if I had been caught it would only have been because of my own stupidity. www.dkphotogroup.com The Hitman's Daughter  Account Closed Location: ottawa, canada Gender: Female hot pavement.  |  |  Re: damn i am depressed...failed explore <Reply # 19 on 7/8/2004 3:10 PM >   Ed and I drove all the way to Maryland once and couldn't get to our point of exploration because our directions were missing a road. It took an entire day to get there and back.
