 |  |  | Thinking about scouting industrial and construction zones around baltimore and dc
< on 8/30/2010 2:47 AM >
|  | | | Anyone know of a preferred time to do this? I suspect during the day but I figured I would see if anyone has any advice. It seems like it would be difficult to blend in these areas just walking around given the layout of these places, at least in baltimore.
Edit: Just to clarify I'm not asking for places to scout but rather if I should watch because of certain things that go on or whatever, like a specific security should be avoided or maybe rabid alpacas and narwhals come out at 2:08 am every morning for 13 minutes and eat anything with a heart.

| | | | Daytime is easily your best bet, if for no other reason than simply because you get a feel for the actual layout of the facility you're scouting (kind of hard to do in the late late night). Early evening is my preferred because most folks that might be around would have left for home by then. Just don't be blatantly obvious while folks are around and you should be fine. Everyone goes for exploration drives, nothing wrong with that. You'd be amazed what you can pull up on Google Street View, too. ;)
We didn't need a story. We didn't need a real world. We just had to keep walking. And we became the stories, we became the places. We were the lights, the deserts, the faraway worlds. We were you before you even existed. |

| | | | If you're just scouting, and not planning on climbing something visible or whatnot, I'd say just go in the middle of the day. Wear a button up shirt and slacks, comb your hair, and carry a manila folder. Walk with a semi-brisk pace like you know where you're going, and nobody is going to care/notice. Then you can come back later with a knowledge of the area.
Also, Every single location's security is going to be different. One place's narwhals may come out at 2:08, but the place next door has bears holding sharks that are simply on a motion detector. You've got to figure each out separately.
In places forgotten, tread where you will. -=- http://www.flickr.com/photos/avius/ |

Ditto on the daytime. Sure people can see you, but really important: you can see them, and where you are going. No sense in creeping up to a joint while it's killer dark out and you don't know what floors are completed and which ones are still big holes.
