| | | Hey there! My name is RealLiveHobbit, and I'm a twenty-something living in the PNW (in Western Washington.) I'm not going to pretend I'm a fabulously experienced urban explorer, since most of the areas I've explored are just abandoned spots in State Parks and whatnot. But I do hope to get better at exploring. My interest in Urban Exploring started when I was a kid, WAY before I had a name for it. I was going to a tiny school in rural Alaska; it was so small, we didn't even have a proper library or anything. We just had a big room in the school's attic full of newish books that the village council had ordered in an attempt to increase kids' interest in reading. There wasn't a check-out system, and no one except my siblings and I were ever up there. My brother and I found an entrance to a secondary attic, and we found a whole bunch of really old books that the first white people had brought in to the village. They had been stashed away when the new ones came in, and I don't think anyone had even been in there in years. I just remember standing there, looking up into the decaying shelves and breathing in this musky, stagnant smell and being completely awed by the years the room had seen. I've always remembered that, even though I couldn't have been more than eight or nine years old at the time. I CRAVE that feeling of awe. I hope that I can learn from everyone on here, and find some neat places to explore. Thanks for having me! -RealLiveHobbit

| | | Wow, I've found a group of other kindred spirits, I never thought this day would come! Seriously! I've been interested in abandoned structures ever since I was a kid. I'm an only child and growing up my parents had an RV and we went camping once a month all over the Pacific States. I'd have to occupy myself so I was always exploring and somehow i always came across something abandoned. Whether it be a stone fireplace in the middle of a forest or the remnants of an old fort I found it and fearlessly explored it! I've gotten more gutsy as I get older, you'd think I'd play it safer, lol. I'd love to share with you photos from abandoned mine hikes, abandoned state hospitals, the remains of resorts, motels, houses, zoos, you name it. I also can't wait to meet friends, see your photos and collaborate on the next big adventure! ~Jess

| | | While I'm not exactly new I am more or less a master of going unnoticed Let's see. I've been around and active for three years in an area with a diameter from Streetsville to Omagh. It really is more or less of the same, I have covered approximately twenty different buildings. I would like to expand now though, having more or less exhausted mt explores. If interested you can see much of what I covered here. https://m.flickr.c...tos/129515910@N07/ I started with a point and shoot Went to a phone Slipped off to a Soviet made Zenit TTL from '82 with helios 44-2 prime. Finally I got my DSLR. only thing I' missing is a wide angle lens. Sadly the largest place I was in. Oakpark vet is gone now. I honestly want to see large, industrial buildings of sorts, those have been somewhat of a craving. I have ran through enough if these small buildings and would like to find something bigger and more exciting. so that said, anyone in my area? I'm from Mississauga Ontario. It's boring and everything is new ;3;
