| | | Hello everyone, I am a young lad about to leave my beautiful homeland that is the Twin Cities for college in North Dakota. I have always been an adventurous soul and stories of tunnels and caves underneath the very city I live in have intrigued me since I first heard of them many years ago. I've spent the last 5 years roaming state parks and the banks of the Mississippi looking for cool stuff, some of which I have found; cool graffiti (emphasis on the cool part, I don't respect shitty spray paint tags, you know good art when you see it) limestone formations, small caves. However the best is yet to be discovered. Unfortunately my desire to act upon these urges to explore the more intense places is new, and I must leave for the frozen wasteland in less than 5 weeks time. I do plan on going on a few adventures before I leave though. There exists in STP some former railroad property that houses ancient caves, awesome limestone formations, a view, an abandoned building and a massive sprawling marijuana farm, which was an interesting touch seeing that this land is now in the process of slowly being turned into a nature sanctuary. I'm sure many of you who are the order than my age of 18 know of the area well and perhaps you remember infiltrating it when it was not open to the public. If I can, I'd like to enter the abandoned building it the main goal is to explore the cave and its ancient lake via inflatable kayak. I will post pictures of the places I am talking about once I am home from work, for I must go now. Happy exploring! Here are the pictures I promised, they're not super exciting and were taken with my cellular potato so forgive me. http://imgur.com/a/XU5xl Pictures: 1)The abandoned building 2)The Sand Castle 3)The house of the Great Spirit 4)Cans of beans. Everywhere. Up, down, left, right and probably in directions that do not exist in our three-dimensional plane. OTHER NOTES: Does anyone have thoughts on the Ford Motors Sand Mines? As Action Squad has showed us, it is very difficult to get inside the mines and they had to break into the active plant to get to them. Now with the plant gone and the space it once occupied a large concrete field, perhaps there is an opening again? I found maps of the floor layout of the old plant and found the transformer room Action Squad used to get into/out of the mines, and I also found maps from the EPA that detail the inner workings of the mines. My thoughts on this are this: Who wants to pay security guards to guard an open concrete field all night every night? And could there be entrances (especially where the transformer room was) still there now that they are exposed to the outside world? I must investigate, perhaps a few of you will too?
