| | | Hey, My name is Dan, I live in Denver metro. I've been into exploration for quite some time. I have seen some great sites (urban or otherwise) all along the US west coast, most of which I don't have pictures for, but plenty of stories. I've been aware of this site for about 6 years, but didn't think I'd really fit in since my approach is a bit different. I usually seek out sites BECAUSE of security, places that can get me into a lot of trouble. Maybe it's immature, but that aspect is what excites me. As a result, I usually visit sites solo and with as little equipment as possible. Denver is pretty great right now because there's plenty of new construction. But I would like to try out some of the more casual exploration stuff, which is why I joined. I figured, "I have a lot of really great stories from the past 15 years, these people would probably love it, and I would love to find some casual places to take pictures and bring friends." So... Hello UER!

| | | Howdy friends! My name's Kate and I'm an amateur photographer from the Cleveland, Ohio area! Here's my story: I'm 28 and new to urban exploration. I've always been fascinated by the beauty and desolation of abandoned properties. I started my journey years ago at an abandoned trailer park that my dad and mom had once frequented. I loved the solace and eerie quiet the place brought. I returned year after year to photograph all the new things I found. Slowly but surely, vandals destroyed the property. I became a huge fan of capturing abandoned properties for the preservation of the way things were before they were destroyed. Up until this past year, I had only visited a few sites as I was well over 400 lbs and it was difficult to get into and out of places quickly. Not to mention the climbing and general physicality that UrbEx requires. I lost over 200 lbs and became much more daring in my exploits! I'm lucky to have a supportive and equally as interested in photography boyfriend as well. He's 6'7" and very intimidating, hence why we haven't run into too many issues when photographing in east Cleveland!! I'm looking forward to sharing lost of my photos, locations, and planning some meetups with local and visiting UrbEx-ers! Please feel free to message me if you're planning on going out on location in Cleveland and would like a couple more people for safety and friendship!! I love meeting new people and making new friends!!!1. 2. 3.

| | | Hey y'all, most people call me Ace, and I guess I've gotten into urban exploration. Born and raised in the Rochester (New York) area, and still lives here. I guess it started when I took an interest in the local history, and then I needed something to do on weekends. So I invested in a respirator, gathered a small group of trustworthy friends, spent a day on Google, and then we found ourselves standing in a dark and dusty tunnel with flashlights and respirators scaring some poor guy that we had run into. (Two of us are over 6 ft and one's only 5'10" but has a full-face respirator...unfortunately leaving me as the shortest of the group, but the one with the best camera) There's still a lot of ground to cover in this city, but we've all been enjoying it so far and have been looking forward to the next strange building I find.
I look forward to talking with y'all, and exploring more of these insane places. -Ace

| | | Hey UER, I'm recently new to exploring. I have a few posts but just haven't gotten around to introducing myself. I'm in the MSP area exploring with one other person who is always willing to go out and a few others who tag along here and there. I'm interested in getting to know some of the local folks. We've been to quite a few places over the last few months: - Mile's Cave - East Kittsondale - West Kittsondale - Satan's and Santa's Cave - Drake St. Drain - Hamm's Brewery Went to the Tunnel of Terror entrance and found out that we just can't have nice things, because ungrateful kids have to ruin it for everyone. PM me if you want to explore, we've only just begun!

| | | Hello, screen name's Aran. I'm fairly new to Urbex, with my first building about six months back. I primarily explore buildings, but am looking into the local storm sewer system as well. So far I have multiple visits to two buildings under my belt, and leads on another six. Old newspapers, city archives, historical society records Google Maps, and so on tend to be a great resource for me, as does just driving around town. I usually go solo or with a few friends, and am experimenting with camera settings to find the best one for low lighting. The two buildings I have visited are an abandoned warehouse slated for renovation (I got the pics while I still could!) and an old landscaping business (I still remember when that place was open.) With Autumn comes a busier schedule, but I still try to get out when I can. Also, still following up on more leads on various places. Anyway, nice to meet you all.
