| | | Hey Scott. Welcome to the UER. It seems like all of us explorers from Wisconsin are finding our way onto this forum lately, probably because the UE craze seems to be sweeping the globe and the internet is in everyone's pocket nowadays (and likely to the demise of some of the senior members here). I just recently joined as well and I thank them for having me. Everyone I've interacted with has been pleasant. But beware, I hear this place can be a real beast. It's good to see another explorer in the valley though. There's a decent community up there with really nice folks. While I so greatly respect and admire the commitments, expertise, and experience in the hobby that these guys have, they are only mostly right. Don't listen to everything they have to say about our state. I'm sure a lot of them are very familiar (maybe even more so than me) with our area and what it has or does not have to offer. But it seems that the ones doggin' on Wisconsin are usually from out of state. We live and scout here everyday and, believe me, not all of what they say is true. I can't fault them for they are mostly right after all. Exploring here is nowhere near as exciting as it is elsewhere. Compared to what they are used to seeing, it can certainly be argued that Wisconsin does suck. But to flat out say that there is nothing here is a total misrepresentation. There are things here and they are worthwhile. Just in the last year, I have found several decent spots that don't compare to the premium locations elsewhere but are still awesome nonetheless. Oh and there is that one really huge and incredibly historic complex/cathedral that got over-exposed about ten years ago but is still there. It's just a lot different being an explorer in Wisconsin today. It used to be a lot better. Just in my own town, I can recall close to a dozen cool places we explored over the years that are all gone. In other states, where the really cool exploration takes place, there seems to be areas that are more concentrated with locations that may be easier to get into. In Wisconsin, all the locations are a good distance away from each other and we don't really have any left that you can just walk up and in to. But they are out there. It just takes a bit more work to find them and a bit more persistence to explore them. I realize that explorers everywhere have put great efforts into this hobby and their locations and that's why I respect them so much. But I do believe that we have to strategize a bit more often to explore around here. Stick around Scott. Make yourself known. Show off what you find and I'm sure people will reach out to you. I'm looking forward to seeing your work.
