| | | Hi all, my name is Aaron, and I find exploring stuff to be really cool and interesting. I'm too afraid to go into old abandoned buildings with "no trespassing" signs and stuff, but I've found some interesting stuff right in and around my own neighborhood, which is in a fairly rural area with some pretty old buildings and stuff around. There is an old building that used to be a McDonalds long ago that I drive by sometimes, and I can see that one of the windows is broken in; it tempts me to go in... I have a cool job that helps me scratch the itch, though. I work at a nuclear power plant, and there are tons of unused and/or abandoned areas at the plant, rooms that house equipment that hasn't been used in 20+ years, buildings that have been built for a specific job and then never used again, old trains and train unloading equipment that has been abandoned long ago, etc. Plus, I think industrial environments and power plant equipment and stuff is really cool, so I like it.

| | | Hi all, I'm pavement. My first experience with urban exploration was a trip to the Belchertown State School in Massachusetts several years ago. The moment I'll never forget was descending a staircase into the basement of one building, steps shrouded in ice. As I reached the bottom of the steps, the hall opened up into a basketball court completely covered in sheet ice (in the middle of May, no less) and in the center of the court, there was a decrepit 45" player. I wish I had a camera on me at the time, but the room was pitch black, and would have been a bit difficult to shoot a decent photo. There was something truly chilling about that place, finding documents from old patient files and later reading about the mistreatment of countless children that passed through its halls (contrary to its name, the "school" wasn't an school at all but rather a mental institution for children, which closed in 1991 due to neglect and abuse of the children). Ever since my trip to Belchertown, I've come to realize there's just something about these old and abandoned buildings that fascinates me. They're like windows into the past - skeletal vestiges of a bygone era. Recently, I've been mulling over the internet looking for like minded people who want to explore these relics when I stumbled across UER. I hope I'll see many more strange and fascinating sites through this site and hopefully learn from other UErs.

| | | Well, hello there. My name is Kevin, but most people call me Plum online. I'll be honest, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to Urban Exploring (unless you count following the old train tracks outside of town a few years ago) but I'm a huge camping enthusiast and love to be outdoors. I also have an interest in stuff that looks old. My great grandparents small grandfather clock for instance, or the remains of a shopping center near Dallas where I live. I'm not the best photographer (that'd be my sister), but I love to take pictures of these things. Anyway, I've rambled enough. If anyone lives in the East Dallas/Garland area and wants a buddy to join them in their adventures, send me a PM or whatever, y'know?
