North Florida checking in.

We're an outdoor oriented couple into hiking geo-caching and exploring. We have several locations in our area to contribute and hope to learn of other spots around us. Not so much into the urban areas but outlying locations hidden in or being reclaimed by the woods get our attention. Usually we find something on Google Earth that looks interesting, waymark it and find a way to get through the woods to it. We do love a challenge!

Nice to meet y'all.

Ok so I don't have any cool pictures to show you. Im a new guy local to Riverside, Corona and Norco.

I'm big on offroading and metal detecting and Ive been going on ue trips since I started driving. Anyway I had a few days to read posts since one cant post for a few days when one is new. So anyway in that time I learned this group seems to pretty big on photography. I shoot with a cannon rebel xt with all the bells and whistles one might need, nothing amazing but certainly not a machine to scoff at.

If there are any other locals to me who would like to go out my Jeep can make it just about anywhere. Anyway looking forward to meeting everyone.

Another Norco guy here....for 2 more days, then up the road to Wineville (look up the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders!)

Huge fan of downtown LA, RMS Queen Mary, old buildings and just about any place old that isn't fucked up beyond recognition.

I work in construction safety, so lots of expertise in building construction, architecture and protecting people from nasty shit that can get them killed or worse (asbestos, lead, mold, and all manner of other hazardous shit). Consequently, I have access to respirators, 4 gas meters and fall protection equipment....which I will gladly bring along if invited....also available to consult any members who might have a question regarding their ability to make it in and out of their chosen adventure with ass intact.

As my first gesture of participation, I will post all of my LA Herald Examiner pics as soon as I can figure out how....

Hey there! Jersey girl here. Got interested in UE from "Weird NJ" and my dad hiking with me and finding ruins.
I've only visited one or two places but I've been expanding and plan on going to a larger place soon.
I'm a amateur photographer but I do try improving. Mostly I like to explore, and I'm painter and graphic design student.

Hi,
I've decided to join this nifty website. I'm an old-time Hiker but new to UE. I live in Western PA. Before now most places I've found have been natural (caves, waterfalls etc.) but I've caught the UE bug and want to explore more man-made, less natural things. So far I've taken two very small trips that I've just stumbled upon. I can not wait to explore an asylum I've scoped out near a friends house as my first larger-scale thing. I also hope that I can take some half decent pictures of my adventures. That would be neat.
Nice to meet you all.

Watched a documentary on UE found it fucking awsome and joined. My name is Logan, other than UE I enjoy listening to black metal/doom metal, reading and PS3.


That's how I found this place too! It made me really happy to find other people who liked doing what I like to do too and seeing their pics!

I look forward to seeing what you will post!

Hey my name's Patrick and I've been lurking here for a while. I decided I should probably post a little here and there. I'm located in Richmond, VA and am pretty young (still in high school). It'd be cool to get full membership, but we'll see if that ever actually happens.

Here's my flickr if you want to see my pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pcrean/

Here's my urban exploration pictures also: http://www.flickr..../urbanexploration/

Hey I'm Elliot!

I've been looking for a database of urban exploration sites for a while and this is so incredibly perfect. I just visited a tunnel site in SoCal and remembered to post it here! http://www.uer.ca/...d=1&threadid=84158

Awesome site, keep up the great work

If you'd like to introduce yourself to the forum before you begin posting, please feel free to do so in this thread.

If you'd like to introduce yourself to a specific region, you may do so, but any introductions posted in other sections will be moved here.


Hello everyone!

My name is Matt, I have been urban exploring for a very long time. I just recently found out that the hobby I love was called, "Urban Exploring". Haha

I came across this website while searching the new found term. Unlike most of the urban explorers here I am not into photography as a hobby. I will be taking pictures from now on to share, but they won't be the quality or have the skill that the rest seem to be great at.

I live in North Georgia and I am in my thirties. I don't like burning or spray painting sites, I think that is why authorities have to crack down on explorers.

I prefer commercial, industrial, or military locations over old residential.

I also enjoy spelunking the many caves in georgia as well as camping.

I am very knowledgable on the area in and around where I live and have visited most locations over the years. I am cautious of meeting random people from this website, but will try and set up a meet in the near future of one of my more conquered locations.

Thanks for having me here!

Hello UER! My name is Dennis & I grew up with an exploring bug that has stuck with me all these years.

I am really excited to have found this site and I am looking forward to sharing my adventures.

Also, if anyone in the area is interested in visiting some sites together PM me. Especially if you wouldn't mind sharing some wisdom regarding photography. In the past I never took pictures of any explorations (no experience beyond point-and-shoot cameras) but now I really want to learn more. Seeing some of the fantastic shots on this site has totally inspired me.

Sorry to ramble on...

Look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hey Guys,

My name is Mackenzie, I'm 31 and live in Northern Illinois. I actually got interested in UE when I stumbled across the Opacity website. I've always loved history and anything old so I'm very excited to go on my first UE which will be to an old school here in my town. Fortunately for me, I am friends with the president of the historical society here in my town and she's going to let me go into the school, that way I don't step on the toes of the local law enforcement! I'm hoping to do it sometime in the next month.

Looking forward to getting to know everybody!!

Happy Exploring,
Mackenzie

I'm Leggy, and I'm a member of the KC Urbex group. I'm a photographer who loves to shoot nudes in abandoned buildings. I thought of posting some here, but your rules say no "porn or adult content." Are simple nudes allowed?

I bet it depends, haha. I am new here and can't truly say!
But if it's pictures of Iqueld, nobody wants to see that!!!

I've been floating around the site off and on over the years.
Today I finally decided to sign up.
I'm located in Newfoundland, Canada. I have been exploring for many years, photographing my explorations for about 3 of the most recent.

Here I am:

There's actually a private board for model shoots. I think the only requirement is that you put NSFW in the subject line.

Been hopping about London lately?

Greetings,

I am a male, late 20s, and I always, ever since I can remember liked to explore and go places I'me not supposed too, especially dangerous places. I dont get out much anymore as i am all grown up now, wife, 3 kids, a job and bills to pay but I still get out, i'me just a bit more cautious.

My job involves climbing up hundreds of feet in the air, so when i aint working, I like to have fun underground in caves, mines, tunnels, etc. I also get my kix going in abandon factories, mills, etc.

Its part curiosity and part thrill of not getting caught or killed that motivates me. Whats down there? What is this place, whats the history of it, maybe i'll find something like the remains of the last guy who went down there, dismembered by some sorta creature, oh that be a rush, tryin to GTFO before I end up like he did.
Or maybe, I find a pile of money or treasure, i mean, i dont believe in defacing sites but treasure is one of the few things that aint getting left for the next guy to enjoy.

I typically go alone, not because I am anti-social, which I kinda am, but because what few friends I got left that life anywhere near my proximity just arent up for it anymore, and most people I meet nowdays just wanna play with their Wii's and drink beer.

So I come here to share locations of sites and maybe meet some new friends to go out and jump the fence or go down in the ground.



The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.
