| | | Posted by Aurelius Hey guys, my name is Dustin and I figured I'd introduce myself even though no one actually reads this shit. I'm 18 years old from NEPA, about an hour east of Scranton on the NJ border, if you know the area. I've been urbexing for a while now without even realizing that it was a legitimate hobby, of course until I stumbled onto UER. I also like to read, write, lift weights, swim, and shoot guns. And I have a thing for flashlights, which comes in really handy in often pitch-black abandonments. Well that's about it. I might post a thread with some pictures of past explorations soon.
| So you lift? Interesting.

| | | Posted by Captain Trigger I am fairly normal in the sense that I have two arms, legs and hands to climb beyond that I love doing and going the places we're not suppose to =D From abandoned air fields, to hopping moving freight trains to Ventura or the desert and capturing the old rusting history that so many people hustled and worked and built decades ago that now sit to be rediscovered and loved through my camera. So grab your lamps, boots, gloves, and camelbacks msg me and I'll show you Southern California!! - Cpt. Trigger
| Great intro post sir! Welcome to UER! Looking forward to 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. |

| | | Posted by Captain Trigger Introducing Cpt. Trigger to the gang =D I'm 21, and live in the beautiful San Bernardino National Forest here in Crestline, California one of the oldest inhabited mountains of california so I'm always finding places to explore up here!! From the Prohibition tunnels from Top Town to the clubs in Lake Arrowhead to the miles of underground tunnels that release Lake Arrowhead and the secret elevator to the facility at the bottom of the lake *Soon to be explored more. I'll be sharing those and more shortly, but more about myself.

| I stay at a cabin in Blue Jay quite often, snowboard in Big Bear, hang out around Lake Arrowhead/Gregory, etc. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of the area. It's nice to hear of an explorer up there. I might contact you the next time I'm near Crestline. Until then, I'll be anxiously awaiting your first posts!

| | | My name is Sarah, nickname and tag Sprica. I respond to both. I was told to introduce myself here, throw my words out into a void of darkened screen and pixels, so here goes. I follow the rules, most of the time. I am a model citizen, as much as anyone can be. I don't cause trouble for the fun of it, or flaunt laws for sport. But. And isn't there always a but. I did an impromptu bit of soul searching a few years ago. Unplanned, unlooked for. A friend asked me if I could remember the first time we met, the discussions we had gotten into, the jokes, the shared experiences. They launched into a story about my life that I realized with dawning confusion I could not recall. This suddenly brought home to me a simple fact. I don't have the best memory. If things don't make a great impression on me they tend to slip away. And this started to bother me, the abrupt idea that my life was drifting away like so much blank paper. So I thought back. I sought out the times that I DID remember, the experiences I could recall as clearly as if I was living them all over again. And I realized that those were the important moments, the ones I had kept ahold of, the ones that I most valued. And they were all moments I had spent being truly and vibrantly alive. Times spent with loved ones, with friends and strangers and random people I had met at bus stops and grocery stores. When I sorted through it all I finally recognized the common thread that bound these bright points, these memories. They were all my adventures. The excitement I felt putting myself out there and experiencing new things, the joy of connecting with someone or someplace else and learning their story. That was the cement that kept these precious moments stuck firmly in my head. So that's why I love to explore. Not because I feel the need to rebel against some vague authority (though I'm not saying that isn't fun). Not because I want to make anyone's life harder, or put the fear of god into a roosting flock of pigeons or a nesting raccoon. (Which I admit can at times also be amusing.) It's because I believe that when I'm older and arguably wiser, settled in a respectable profession, THIS is what I'll look back on. These bright, and at times painfully vibrant moments of adrenaline and discovery. And hopefully the friends I've made along the way. I want to do all that while I've still got the time. They'll hand me a degree soon and then I'll be locked away in maturity forever. Imagine the tragedy. So that's why I signed up for this site, that's why I'm here waxing poetic about memories and aspirations. Because I want to live while I've got the opportunity. And I'll be as polite about it as possible, as accommodating of the rules as I can be. But I'm still going to go right ahead and snatch whatever experiences I can. Because, after all, that's what living should be about.

| | | Ohey! I'm Justin, and I'm very glad I found this website. I'm from the East Bay of California, and I'm sort of a noob to urbexing. I typically go exploring with a duo of buds, and I always bring my camera. At some point I'll probably post some photos I've taken on past explorations. So far, we've visited a couple of the well-known locations in the area, but we like to step it up and try something new each time. I've always been a fan of going on adventures, whether it be car rides or hikes or backpacking. I can't remember exactly what led me to learn about urbexing, but once I heard about it, I had to try it. So far we're had an exhilarating time on each of our trips, and I'm hoping I can use this website to learn more about the activity and possible future locations to visit.

| Did you take the urban exploration part of uer as walking around the city randomly?

I quess I could be called a photographer as I take photos but not good ones. You can pm me the links if you want. It's interesting though alot of the new members are women. I mean't its pretty hard to explore legally.
| Hah, I know how that is. I am an amateur photographer with a spectacular camera. It was a gift and I'm trying to do it justice. It does make my photos turn out a whole lot better than they really should though. And mostly women is strange huh? I guess I didn't realize there was a gender gap in urbexing. Maybe because I always go exploring with my friends, half of whom are female. Most times it works out well, since we can usually wiggle through Windows the guys just wouldn't fit through. I'll link you to the pictures once I get them uploaded. There's a lot to cull out from my last exploration, but I think I got some decent ones. And I wasn't saying I urbexed legally, I was explaining why it was worth it not to. A bit too flowery for an intro post huh? I guess I was just getting bored of "Hello my name is ----- and I'm from ----" that could be from all the orientation I'm going through before classes this year though. Sorry if it was confusing.
