For the life of me I don't know what this http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=31818 is though, certainly not a bando, it looks like some kind of crop circle probably added by some rookie...
| Woo... I could see value in studying a site like that, or crop circles, or the Nazca Lines, and grouping them all together in one activity, and even calling it urban exploration, and even possibly finding an interesting angle in it. But no, that certainly doesn't pull it off. At least its value is reflected in the moderator rating. When we talk about what is and isn't UE, I want to remind you, this technically is.

| The best stuff on this site isn't the old abandoned stuff. I mean, that stuff is amazing, and a lot of fun. But the best stuff is the crazy, active stealth stuff that a few people participate in.

Unfortunately it's also the stuff that rarely gets posted. UER is just too public for a lot of it, and the risk of getting in legal trouble from posting it is just too high. I myself have a few active infiltrations I can't post for that exact reason.
| I almost made a thread for the bridge I posted earlier, but I wasn't comfortable posting it (that explore is several years old, so I'm not as concerned now) here or anywhere else online. Legal issues and/or criminal charges are a huge deterrent for me. I've already been burned in a really bad way by posting something I shouldn't have online, so I would definitely hesitate to post active locations or infiltrations. I wouldn't do it until the statutes are up, sometimes not even then. For scale, how large is that bridge room? I can't tell if it's easy to stand up in it or if you could maybe fit a sleeping bag. | At the actual summit, you had to crouch, but only for a couple sections. You could stand up in there without a problem within most of the upper sections, but the incline was very steep (I'm not sure about the sleeping bag!). The bottom half was pretty tight. The bridge was basically a giant arc, so the only area that was a little less inclined was at the top before it went back down again. You could tell that the workers were using ropes. The base starts out as two discrete sections that merge about halfway up, which is why the photos closer to the top show a larger space than the ones of the bottom. It was definitely an explore you would want to be on your game for - it was a long ways down if you lost your footing! These are the only photos I could find that provided any sense of scale or incline (without totally giving away what bridge it is).
