| | | It technically wasn't a drain, but rather a steam tunnel. Some friends and I were at the former site of Overbrook Asylum, which is currently a housing development. I suspected some of the old tunnels still remained, so we wanted to look around for them. After some searching, we found a 16 inch high entryway into a 4 ft high tunnel. It was essentially like squeezing myself into one of the storm drain openings you see on the curb, so I was the only one who wanted to go in. I was lying on my back going feet first into the tunnel, using my hands to pull myself in. The roof of the tunnel had a support beam that made it so that I couldn't see the roof past the first 6 inches, but by the time I had shimmied myself to the point my feet were touching the ground, I could see past the beam. At this point I found myself face to face with a living wall of particularly large cave crickets. In fact, every square inch of the roof was covered in them and that layer was covered in another layer. Because I didn't like the thought of cave crickets raining down on me, I decided to get out quick. It had taken me about 5 minutes of wiggling the get into the opening, but slightly under 10 seconds to get out. I actually pulled myself out with so much force that I cracked every one of my knuckles at once and left a distinct imprint of the cement walls on my hands.

| | | The cave crickets reminds me of a very stupid lesson I had to learn while draining. I really wanted to carry an actual torch while draining, so I put together a homemade one. Turns out they don't work very well for illumination, since you can't see into the distance and they ruin your night vision. I did this a few times and something always went wrong. The first time, I wrapped too much bandage wrapping around the stick, and while it worked fine, it was too heavy and the thing fell off into the water. Another time, in a much smaller drain only about 8 feet high, I lit the torch, and as the smoke ascended, all the spiders living in the ceiling decided to escape the fumes by spinning their webs and descending all at once. I suddenly found myself totally surrounded by dozens of spiders, so I shrieked and dropped the torch in the water, at which point I'm guessing all the spiders climbed back up again.

| | | I've had quite a few things happen to me while I explored drains but most of them were actually kind of funny. Back when I started to explore the big drains on the Mississippi River by entering into the outfalls, I was wearing cheap tennis shoes where the tread on the bottoms were worn off (please note that I DO NOT recommend wearing these kinds of shoes in drains), anyway, The drain was a big concrete arch tunnel with sloped sides and there was a decent sized waterfall jetting water from the center of the top of the tunnel, well I decided to carefully walk along the right side of the waterfall and apparently it was slippery, I was also wearing a bulky backpack and I slipped and fell on my backpack, under the waterfall, getting soaking wet. Shortly before I went into the drain I slipped and fell under the bridge, on a rock but neither time I got hurt but it was annoying plus it was funny. There was another time where I was trying to find the easiest way down a steep hill, by the river to check out another big drain but at that time the easiest way down was a very high, steep grassy/rocky hill, for which I decided to slide down that steep hill (keep in mind that it rained early that morning before I got up, so the hill was super muddy, making it more slippery (LOL). Well guess what, I slid down the steep hill and all of sudden I went super fast and whipped down that steep hill (it was extremely fun) but getting back up that steep hill was a bitch to do. When I climbed back up that steep hill I had to carefully climb side to side and be careful on what I grab on the way up because a lot of stuff was loose (also keep in mind that this steep was maybe 100 feet high, so it wasn't that easy to climb but it was a hell of a workout (LOL). When I finally got up to the top I slipped on a wet log and I hit my face on the log but it didn't hurt that bad, just annoying. I had another time where I was trying to get into a drain that didn't look too hard to get into but it wasn't exactly easy either. There was a lot of big rocks, so I attempted to walk out in the Mississippi River to get to the drain but the water quickly started to get deeper, so I walked over to the wall and I found out that there was some rocky ledges I could crawl onto and I did that to carefully get into the drain. When I was done in the drain I tried to climb back onto the rocky ledge but I couldn't find it again, so I plopped into the deep water and I swam back to where I could walk out of there. There was a time similar to this where I was trying to get into a drain outfall and there was a gap in the tunnel but at that time I didn't know that I could squeeze into that gap, so I decided to try the outfall. Again, as I walked out to the outfall, the water got deeper but this time there was a broken fence post sticking out from the tunnel, so I grabbed the post and hung onto it and climbed along the post while I was in deep water until I could touch the bottom of the drain outfall, so I could get into the outfall. When I could touch and I got into this drain I checked out this drain but after I was done I left the drain out that gap I mentioned earlier. One time I went into a drain during snow melting season and there was a lot of fast moving water plus it very very slippery and I don't recommend going into a drain during snow melting season for those of you who has snow where they live. That was one of my most scariest moments in drains.
