 |  |  |  |  |  | UEF Update: FAU Utility Tunnels!
< on 12/31/2003 11:49 AM >
|  | | | Wow, this was a great exploration. Big thanks to Krazy for the tip, I may have never found this otherwise. I had given up hope for finding anything underground in South Florida, thanks for proving me wrong!
This was quite a crazy trip, and I even managed to use my newly endowed moderator ninja powers to make myself disappear from the sight of a maintenance worker who was a mere 15 feet from me in an open area of the physical plant. Check out the update for all the details:

| | | | Wow, very very nice stuff! I still never would've thunk that FAU had utilitiy tunnels. I mean it's Florida, you dig 2ft and you hit water in some spots for christs sake! ;)
Great pictures and very cool find!

|  | | | Sweet update guys! That's great!
The old guy probably didn't see you because he didn't expect to see anyone. Or something. The mind works in mysterious ways.

| | | | I just added this picture to the update. It's just a section cropped from the full resolution image of one of the pics inside the physical plant. What do you guys think?
I can't be 100% sure, but the worker was wearing a blue uniform and had grey hair, so it's quite possible that was actually him in the picture.

|  | | | THIS is why I UE.
Excitement and discovery first, good photos second.
You seem to have accomplished both. Excellent!

| | | | sweet! Glad the tip worked out. I'm curious to se how long what I sent you stays where it is now.
As for the picture, you said gray hair/blue uniform, right? The thing in that picture looks sort of like a valve wheel to me. ;)
How long was the exposure time? there does seem to be some streaky thing in the picture between the shiny pipe on the left and the valve wheel. could be.
I assume you're a mini-tripod kind of guy, right? all of your pictures are on the floor or on top of a pipe or something.

| | | | This reminds me:
I know for a fact that that was a worker in shorts, bending over to pick something up. I had just walked into the mech room, saw him with his back turned, took the picture and quickly backed out.
Fun times.

| | | | That picture was a 1 second exposure F2.8, no flash. You are correct, I was using a mini tripod most of that trip. I like full tripods, but lugging one around in an active location is neither convenient (especially when crawling over/under pipes) or stealthy so I generally only take that with me to abandoned places.
