after a good google search.. Urban Exploration is where you go into abandoned buildings..

Mainly factories, power plants, hotels, hospitals, asylums, ect..

Sewers, existing buildings (also called hacking) and other places are also explored..

Around here, that ***** dangerous..good chance you run into a gang inside the building, or violent bums lol...

Knowing bakersfield, that is true. southern california is bad for that stuff. just bad in general really...bad traffic, bad drivers, bad drug problems, long distance driving. won't be going back.

Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. I'm hoping to get some pretty incredible pictures.

all these rednecks gotta do is bring one of their ak47's in with them.



If i were doing "Urban Exploration" i'd definitely bring a gun or weapon of some sorts.

Used to do a lot of it. Mapped out a whole abandoned sewer system in my old home town. Completely blocked off from water infiltration and dark as space itself. Me and my buddies used to go all over town using it as a sort of underground highway. We'd pop up through sidewalks and stuff and trip people out. After a while we managed to get a mini-bike and a few skateboards down there so it was a sort of rapid transit system for getting the hell out of dodge when needed. I escaped from more than 1 cop that way. We called it the Hell Hole. Looking back it was a bad idea as noone would have ever found the bodies but it was fun at the time.

It's off 17/92 in a place called DeLeon Springs. It was an abandoned citrus plant.

That's pretty awesome. There are a bunch of guys around here who do drains, but I've never tried it.
