My wife gets nervous when I head out, but she enjoys looking at my photos and the stories that I tell. She has come along a couple of times, though, when she felt it was safe and legal to enter the site. On the nights that I go out she tells me about one million times to be safe and be careful. We have a rule that I have to call her between midnight and one a.m. if I'm still out.

She doesn't stop me, but I think she'd feel better if I just didn't go.

"Your crazy" is about the only reaction I get from my gf when she hears me talk about UE stuff. She would never UE with me, but I don't think she is against it either.

My girlfriend actually explores with me, and used to post around here. She goes (went I guess) by Magellan_MM... not that it matters, seeing as how she's not around anymore.

It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pitty

My gf absolutly hates it. She is always worried about me getting hurt or arrested. She doesn't like that I do it, so she just pretends I don't. I tell her to not stress about it but she does. It drives her crazy that I do it, but she gets over it.

These are the guys that if asked if they could infiltrate the Pentagon, their eyes would glaze over and say, "Sure. Why not?"- Thanx Samurai

Mine does not exactly 'support' it, but she realizes that I need to get the 'itch' out of my system once in a while. The longer I am away from the UE'ing world, the more I want to go out and do it. So, she tells me to get the hell out here and do what I need to do. Before I go in though, I have to call her and when I get out, I have to call her and let her now I am okay. She went with me to the Marin Headlands to do the bunkers there and loved it, but she does not like the getting into 'closed' buildings part...

Wow, lots of people have paranoid women.....

I don't have to call my woman at all. I tend to give her a call about 10 minutes before I'll be home just so she can meet me outside and we can... well whatever hehe, go out, smoke one, whatever

She knows I'm a big boy, and that I can take care of myself. Besides, why should she worry, that'll just create much unneeded stress.

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal? Its a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know what's not natural, 80 year old dudes with hardons. Thats not natural, but we got pills for that. We're dedicating all our resources to keeping the old guys erect but we're puttin people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt.

I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I respect her and her concerns. My wife knows I'm a big boy, too, and that I can take care of myself. But accidents happen, and what we do is inherently dangerous. You don't know what could happen. I don't do it because I'm whipped or because she's paranoid - I do it because she worries about me when I do dangerous things. I don't want her to worry, and so I decided to make the rule that I would call her any night we go out.

It's not about being whipped or paranoid, it's about respect and responsibility.

I never said anything about being whipped Stop reading into things, just because I bug you about being whipped doesn't mean that's what I was implying here hehe.....

I know you call her, that's your thing. I don't have to, only because she's not worried about that sort of thing. I dunno I just find a lot of "worrying" going on... the only woman in my life that worries about me doing this is my mother hehe.... but that's what mom's are for.

My girlfriend hates it, hates me meeting up with people from the "big bad internet" and hates me poking around in semi-fucked buildings in the middle of nowhere. She worries constantly when I am out, and sometimes I feel bad for going, but at the end of the day I'm safe and it's worth the risk.

Having said that, she always enjoys looking at my photographs. I think there's an element of chicken in her :>


People from the big bad internet ? Like me, Agent-X and Sisterblue ?

If I leave without telling her then she gets mad. Other than that my g/f is cool with it.

My ex used to hate it when I went UE. I brought him once to the Cement Factory in Quebec one night. It even was romantic. On the roof of one of the buildings right next to the St-Lawrence River with a asunset. I mean, Come on! It was perfect. Who wouldn't like to be on the roof of a closed down factory enjoying a beautiful sunset? He came with me once and never did again... I wanted to go again on the roof to see a fire-works show but ended up having to buy tickets for the show.

update: Convinced girlfriend to go on another exploration with me. Even dragged my little sister into it. Ue is now a family event. I wonder how many of us will end up encouraging our kids to go into abandoned buildings when they're 12? Better than Poke-ee-mon.

Damn straight its better than pokemon. It's even better than Spongebob.

I'm all for family - my dad is an industrial historian and needless to say he's interested, but i haven't got him to come draining with me yet. my mom on the other hand has scary dreams about me drowning in storm drains on a fairly regular basis. yikes.

my girlfriend is fascinated but has a deep fear of the law. partly because she has political ambitions. but she is always encouraging about the hobby.

Girlfriend with political abitions eh? So one day we may be calling you the first man?

In all seriousness though.. I saw a cop pull over some government bigwig in california two summers ago. The guy got out of his car (a no-no in the states I understand) and started yelling at the guy with his wallet out showing him ID. The cop got back in his cruiser (it was CHP) and took off.

How'd you like to get out of tresspassing shit by being the govenors other half? Seriously! It's like a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Ue is now a family event.



No joke! My family sees my pictures and hears about the majority of the places I've been. My dad and brother want me to take them to some local caves and drains this summer. heh.

my finacee is pretty indiferent about it, but I think that is partly cause he has a lot on his mind right now....he doesn't mind me doing it, and occasionally takes interest in looking at the pics (if there isn't a game on!)

I think he is mostly happy that I have something that I enjoy doing, since I spend all my other time with school, work, and domestic life.....

My mom just thinks I'm crazy(although interesting)

So I said "Why don't you shove it where the sun don't shine" and so he did. He put it in the cupboard under the stairs and it hasn't been mentioned since.

my girlfriend doesnt really care. she kinda got jealous when i was askin her friend - who's a photojournalism major and loves taking artsy pictures - if she wanted to take some pictures of abandoned buildings. but she went on me and phoenix's last trip during the day to an old water treatment plant. she got pissed at me because i kept running off to check out other shit and she wanted me to see something she found. that and her and her friend were breaking shit. given the stuff was already broken but there were some houses around there that while they can't see the place could hear breaking glass. plus i just dont agree with breaking shit anyway. but to the point she decided that coming with me was fun, but she got mad at me too much and didn't like being that mad at me over stupid shit, so she's just gonna stay home and hope i don't get in too much trouble.

My wife is interested as long as I don't insist on dragging her with me. She really digs the pics after though.

When I met my current b/f I had been going to abandoned buildings for years but I never knew there was a name for it or anything. He was into it and told me whats its called and that I can get info on the net. Then since I knew more people to go with I started getting more into it, doing research on the net and stuff. Now he complains that im always on some stupid ue website or exploring. Since we moved to vegas hes been better, but that might have something to do with their not being much to explore out there and only dial up internet. He though I was totally crazy when I saw a long abandoned hotel on the strip and wanted to try and get it.
