^^^ What JeepDave said. ^^^ I explore with others, but I most often explore alone. It's my escape from reality. It's oftentimes a place to find peace and quiet.
I'm also always looking for that elusive "perfect shot," and I love the detective work that comes into play as the history of a place unravels in front of me. It's fun to solve the mystery of a place long since forgotten by society. On a similar note, I like to let my imagination run away with me sometimes too.
