Is it in Fort Worth?

Cool. Reminds me of when I was 13. Not to be a jackass, I really had a lot of fun at that age and I'm sure it won't be long before I get back down in the drains again... it's just a little harder to convince my companions to crawl into a drain than crawl into an abandonment.

Thanks for the excellent photos!

Just tell them it's an abandoned creek.

Until it rains, and then they become un-abandoned very quickly.

Musketboy, how do you find these drains? Just go poppin' manhole covers in neighborhoods? I have yet to be draining and I'd like to know where to start. Seems like you're the person to ask.

I've had pretty good luck finding drainable pipes by looking for places where there are large street drains near a creek.

I find most of them on google earth, some while I'm just out wandering, and some on other UE websites.

That's pretty much it.

If looking on Google Earth, start looking on river banks, and for the telltale concrete lined creeks. If you want to pop manholes, it's best to look in a built up area, around downtown perhaps. Look, listen and smell.

A lot of times you can go down to the city hall, or library and poke around there too.

I got a map from city hall once, it wasn't verry accurate though and it was ten years old, I tried to get more information but they said it was "...excepted from disclosure under sections 552.101 through 552.147..." I'm still awaiting aproval

I should have written that better, city hall is waiting to hear from the A.G. to decide if I can have the maps or not. I honestly thought they were just gonna say no, oh well.

Ummmm... you don't see a potential downside to doing this?



Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Well, yeah, they are probably thinking I'm a terrorist now, but all I said was "Thanks for the wall map, can you e-mail me the more detailed digital ones you were telling me about?"
Next thing you know I get an official looking e-mail saying "we will have to wait for the atty, general's approval before you can have that info"
If you don't hear from me in the next couple weeks its probably cuz the DHS has me locked up in a cage somewhere.
