|  | | | A couple of years ago, the Exploratorium - an amazing hands-on science museaum here in San Francisco (and the place where my wife and I had our wedding reception) - started a great ad campaign. My favorite was of a man in a business suit, briefcase on the ground beside him, on his knees with his head down an open manhole. The tagline for all the ads was, "For the curious ones."

i totally think we are more curious, but also most of us don't have as high a regard for the trespassing law as most people and for that reason our curiosity not only stays passive as many other people's do but we do something about it...but i also think that besides being very curious we pay more attention to detail than most people which causes us to see the subjects of our curiosity as subjects when just driving by when many other people would just think of it as another building on the side of the road and not even notice it's abandoned

I think pixie puts her finger on it... there's lots of curious people out there but few of them are able to break through the 'play by the rules' conditioning that we get all of our lives. To be a good explorer you need to be curious, detail-oriented, and enjoy breaking rules and challenging taboos. It takes a certain sort of personality that i wish more people had... we'd have a better society if we did.

For years I had been driving by this site - I was always intrigued by the radar station. This summer I took a closer look and wrote up a web page:
Web page here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~kazil/radar.html - It's not a world shattering expedition, but still very satisfying. Next time I drive by, I can say to myself : "I know what this is, I've been there."
My point:
While doing research on the web I realized that no one had written about this site. It has been here for 20 years or more. Daily tens of thousands of people see it. And no one is curious enough to write about it?
- Are UE'ers more curious than most folk?
- Would you be curious enough to take a closer look ?

I believe that most UER'ers are more curious than other folks, and that is a little upsetting to me. Most folks are not aware of what might be under their homes, or feet, and if not for the explorers of UER and others, alot of historical places would fade into oblivion.
