Not every explore can be a hospital, school, prison, etc...one of my favorite parts of rural exploration is the exteriors of old houses so I thought I would share some of mine. Hope you will post some of yours here, too. Exteriors and interiors...whatever you got/whatever you want!

Great job Slate. I think as far as the industrial era goes, as textile, coal, and other industrial buildings are demolished or repurposed houses will be the main source of urban exploration from that era.

Love these shots, SGA. They bring fond memories! Punchy - yours are really cool as well.
Houses can be a good, relaxing change of pace, I think. And when I recall about starting out with UE, they were good practice of etiquette and safety. There's something special about looking through someone's yearbook from the 30's and reading through old holiday cards. The fridge though ... ehhh. ;)
All those exploring years with no camera are leaving me empty handed here. I do look forward to seeing more "shells" from the rest of y'all though.

Thanks guys. PL, it is a nice change of pace...I hope we can get out again next weekend
Cool pictures, NowSheFlies. Thanks for sharing.
Ken - none of those were planned. Spotted some of them on the road to other UE locations with PressingLeap. I'm also in the fortunate position of working in a fairly rural county in which I drive to my clients...so I'm constantly scouting and texting myself coordinates from the closest stop sign.

Hmm. That looks familiar.
Don't be shy about wondering the back roads in that area. Lots of old farms and homesteads. There was a foundry not far from there prior to the Civil War. If the railroad hadn't went around it that place might have become a big town.

Very cool, never_sleep. I'm never shy about the back roads! It's neat to see it with blue skies and greenery. Do you happen to recall wandering across the street from there?

I've looked hard at that place, but just about every time I've been in the area I've been on company time in a company vehicle which is too big to park discreetly. The track in also makes it look like there's regular traffic in and out of there.
