UE in Western North Carolina/Asheville North Carolina

Here it goes...

This is my first post on any site about Urban Exploration, but I would like to say that I am very impressed with all of the people on here that I have seen so far. I have been doing Urban Exploration in many different forms for the last couple of years, but to be honest I was unaware of the large on-line community about it until recently.
To make a long story short, I live in Asheville, NC now (moved from Richmond, VA) and I am in the process of forming together a group of people around this area who would be up for some Urban/Rural Exploration. The main reason I am forming together a group of sorts is for safety in this area. Some of the folks I have already assembled are locals from this area who know many out of the way locations, and even the people who own these places we might explore in. Without a local in certain rural areas of western north carolina, one could easily get shot by just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thus why my friends and I believe there is safety in numbers. So if anyone would be up for looking through and taking pictures of some old country stores, warehouse buildings, and old homes feel free to PM me or drop me an email at [email protected] I hope to become more active on this site as my group progresses forward.

-Oh yeah I can also fill people in on the entire the history behind the castle building on Town Mountian Road in Asheville, NC. Just PM me. Unfortuntly it is still occupied. So as for UE it is a no go.


Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

Pessimist by policy, optimist by temperament -- it is possible to be both. How? By never taking an unnecessary chance and by minimizing risks you can't avoid. This permits you to play out the game happily, untroubled by the certainty of the outcome. - Lazarus Long "Time Enough For Love"

Just assume I have no idea what's going on.

Hey, I think I know you! I'm pretty sure we met in an elavator at UNCA and I don't know how many people could possibly have the same name as you (and I think we're friends on Facebook). Are you organizing the UE interest meeting tonight on the quad? If so, I just have to say that I am extremely excited about the prospect of UE'ing in Asheville--I can't tell you how many times just driving around the city and the outskirts I've thought, "Wow, I'd love to explore that!" In fact, I didn't even know there was a name for this sort of thing, I just knew that my friends and I loved exploring old rundown or abandoned places and taking pictures, but I'm really excited to find that it's kind of an international pasttime. This is my first post here, too; I'm hoping eventually I'll make it to full member status so I can post some of the UE sites from my hometown. Anyway, sorry if that was rambling, got excited to see a local/another UNCA person here!

Oh, awesomeness! I don't go to UNCA (graduated last year) so I didn't know about this! Your theories intrigue me; I would like to subscribe to your newsletter- if you have a mailing list or are even just going to get together to do something, send me an e-mail ([email protected]).
