|  | | | Hi, and yes, welcome to my newbie thread. Don't worry, I've read the rules! Anyway, I am new to exploring but not the concept. I have always wanted to do it. I'm interested in just about *EVERYTHING*. Buildings, factories, schools, railways, towns, churches, boats, shipyards, dockyards, houses, tunnels, caves, mines(!), cemeteries, hotels, malls, catacombs, sewers, really, exploring everywhere we aren't supposed to go. I like the photographic possibilities of UE most of all, I think, but I also just like to get in the old historic "dirt and grime" exploration and adventure. Sadly, I have recently found out just what they meant when they say it is best not to explore alone! I'm not a woman, right? I shouldn't have problems! Wrong. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone in my area might possibly share my same interests (I believe I am looking in the right place!), and if so, if they'd be looking for a new UE/Travel partner. I'd like to explore around town and in the great lakes area period. I don't drive (I'm a serious walker/bus rider type), so I'd need a little help with that, in that regard. With that said, I am seriously into this. Anyone mind having someone else along?
...oh, and, Hi! Everyone.. and stuff. I forgot that all n00bs are supposed to say that, or something like it, in their first post. Haha.

|  | | | I'm in new to Madison and my friend and I have been looking for sites to check out- we haven't had a ton of time, but so far there doesn't appear to be much. The cemetary (forget the name, the one that Speedway cuts through) has some neat stuff, but that's the most exciting spot we've found so far.
There are some buildings that look semi-abandoned if you take the 3 or the 5 eastbound from the capital- every time I go that way I make a note to remember to check it out, but I always forget.

| | | | I'll send you a message.
There's another guy here in town who wants to explore with others.
I'm totally down with putting together a crew.
Yes, Forest Hill is -the shit-. I've spent many Fall afternoons just strolling through there. Old governors, mayors, the LaFollete family, a *confederate POW plot*, Sailor Art Thomas, a plot of the original european settlers (who were morbidly moved from their graves into a mass grave, and had their tombstones removed, to make way for roman catholics..) Forest Hill was originally a catholic cemetery, however it is now used for catholics, jews, and protestants of every denomination.. Originally meaning after they moved the coffins. The original burial plot is on the other side of the street from where the office building is, on the side of West Highschool. Did you check out the jewish plot? The jews put stones on their tombstones for each visitation. There's graves from the 1800s that still have rocks on them for whatever reason. Fascinating. I've been in the funeral chapel there, as well as the old morgue-type building, but unfortunately I lost the photos. My fecking CF card broke the next day. Oh, the agony! Yeh, I had someone else let me in. There's a Forest Hill Cemetery tour that happens once every year. I don't know when it is this year, probably Sept or Oct, but here's '04's flier: http://dva.state.w..._Release_20041.pdfAnyway, I'll get in touch with you soon dude.

| | | | What other abandoned sites do you know of, Krazykat? I sent you a message a while back, but idk if you replied, but now I just want to straight up see what this town has.
I think it'd be pretty amazing to check out an abandoned mansion.. lol. Doesn't sound likely.
But I want to check out buildings with a friend or two of mine. What do you know?

| | | | Madison doesn't have much at all. Reason being, is the city is so 'forward' that they tear down anything old at the first chance they get, and put something else up. After living in Madison for a long time, coming to Milwaukee was crazy. I can't believe the number of abandoned decaying buildings just laying around here in MKE. Even the bridges are 'rusty'. If madison spotted rust on their bridges they'd be repainting within a week.
Anyway, that said, you can still have a lot of fun @ the capital. I've gotten out onto the rooftops via the 4th floor bathroom windows, and when they were renovating the thing, they closed off whole wings... so if you found a way in, you had the whole wing to yourself. I've been into a LOT of strange places in that building... but this was all before sept 11th. Dunno if they have cameras now.
