	Hey all. I have been lurking for a long time and finally decided to join up this summer. I have been finding ways to explore since I was young. Growing up in NoVA left me with TONS of old farm operations, Nike Missile Sites and whatever else was left from the transition to sprawling suburbs. I have never run out of things to explore---and every time I have I managed to find something new. But after 4 years of school I am at that stagnant point again and can't shake it. Not sure what my intentions are joining, so we will see where it goes! I am not a skilled photographer but anything I can contribute I will. And I hope to get info on cool places, but the draw of exploration to me is find stuff on my own! I am also a skilled brewer so if I ever meet any of you all, you can count on some good beer Thanks for all the pages I have been reading for months!

Travel if you can. That helps fight stagnation and shows you new things. What do you explore?

I regularly go in drains, abandoned buildings, roofs, construction/cranes, and tunnels. I have climbed really tall stuff before, and gone in subways before, but can't regularly.

	Welcome to UER. If you are in the NC area, give me a shout. Look forward to seeing some of your posts! The Durango '95 purred away a real horrowshow - a nice, warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts. And soon it was trees and dark, my brothers, with real country dark.

	Thanks for the welcomes! And Thank you for moving my post to the appropriate forum, I had too many windows open and posted in the main forum by accident! I explore pretty much whatever I can get into. Growing up in NOVA which was once the biggest dairy producing county in the region, I had my first explorations in abandoned houses. It was cool because I worked on the only remaining active farm in the county for 6 years, so I actually got to meet many of the original farmers whose houses and properties I explored after they sold the land and got rich. A lot of the neighborhoods back home are actually named after those original farms, and people don't even know the roots of the area: Bradley Farms, Middleton Farms, Franklin Farms, and the list goes on. As you can see I love learning the history of the places as much as exploring them. Another member on here has actually gotten me into exploring abandoned mines, and it is incredible. The artifacts him and I found on our last trip were breathtaking. As for recently, I have done all 6 miles of steam tunnels under my campus, the drain that runs underneath our town to re-route the creek, an abandoned prison/Nike missile site in Lorton, VA and of course Dej are some of my favorites. Tunnels: The path to the crawlspace of the dorm I lived in at the time: My buddies pic from inside Lorton Prison. It was turned into a dairy farm and they let us come in and salvage any farm equipment we wanted. This is also an abandoned highway I found in the National Forest (sorry for the quality!): And an abandoned train tunnel: These last two I found on my own but they had been documented by another member on here before me. He is now one of my top exploring buddies and he takes some incredible shots!
