| | | Most likely no one reads these, so I'll be brief. I'm a long time muller (one who mulls - bugger the spellcheck) of the abandoned and the lost - intimations of mortality that are growing with age. The thread of melancholy to this from my childhood is a stream, but the fascination of exploring is still foremost. Any old site with water -- pools, fountains, ornamental ponds, lakes -- is especially cool. I always want to know what, why, when, who is left... Knowing doesn't solve the core of mysteries. You see a vacant, possibly abandoned office building. You look through windows, find an opened door, the garbage pickup with remnants of packing up. An office chair -- blue canvas seat, the kind you've sat in innumerable typing days. A child's sleeping bag with pink and purple Disney princesses next to a pillow of stuffed white dog and a picture book; the single-mom secretary used to bring her child to work when her own mom was sick? The accountant traveled over several towns, maybe states, and sometimes brought her child? The owner's messy divorce? You'll never know. All you know is that these things were in this office, that someone almost took them out when the office closed, but at the last minute left them.

| | | Fun-loving, Somewhat goofy Gurl Texan, sends out warm and sincere greeting to all. I have secretly admired many on this site for years. I became reluctant to join, not knowing if i could ever fit in, or compare to all the Awesome explorers and photographers in your community. Well, finally decided to give it a try. Hope you will enjoy my presence here. My name is Tamara. Call me Tam. or call me Crazy, just call me something, lol. Exploring IS my drug of choice. Its my painkiller, Its my tonic for what ails me. Abandoned places Mesmerize me. They fill me with wonder and excitement. Some places can fill my curiosity in just one visit, whereas, others take hold of me and the journey never ends. There are places i MUST revisit time and again to note the decay, feel the changes, live past lives, or catch a glimpse of something i previously missed. I am sure its a feeling shared by others here~ many times over. Thanks for your kind attention. I will be look forward to spending more time with all of you and sharing my photos with everyone.

| | | Well, hello. I have been exploring a fait bit in my younger years, and had it put at rest for various reasons. I knew little of the UE community, and was centered mainly in the one I descended in the parisian catacombs with. I still got in every area of any building I would work in, especially with the help of technicians, to look at cool machinery and such, but no active research. Looking at DEFCON talks, I heard about Ninjalicious, and swiftly got its book, as well as registered myself to this board. The time before I could post allowed to finish the book while lurking a bit. Another reason which sparked my enthusiasm is that I may get access to some of the old buildings of a still working asylum, in one of which -so the local legends say- might lead to tunnels used during WWII. I am a total newbie as far as abandoned locations, and would not want to put others at risk. I might bother with some questions about tunneling and such, but will do my best to contribute. 1.
