Urban Exploration
Anybody here do this? I do.
For those of you who dont know what it is, it's the art of infiltrating places normal public wouldnt go. Such as exploring old abandoned buildings (houses, hospitals, factories, schools), storm / creek drains (not sewage, so this is clean), rooftops, various tunnels (steam tunnels, maintence, telecommunications, cellars), subway systems (not in use ofcourse), trainyards, airways, mines, catacombs (underground tombs), and power stations. Oh, cant forget various abandoned things such as bunkers, warships, cars, and tons more. Some may say at first, 'why the hell would you do that?', but once you read abit about it and see photos you'd be suprised and may discover a new hobby.
I have compiled a list of links for people who wanna know more and see some photos...

Now, out of all the forms of Urban exploration, I find that storm drains catch me the most. Why? The simple thought of being underground in a whole new world which most people never think of going into. Some think this is dirty, and wading around in peoples feces and piss, but it's not. It's as clean as walking down the street, only you're in a tunnel with a small amount of water. What is so interesting about going underground? I don't know! It's just something you either love or dont.
Now, for abandond buildings this is always interesting. You can find things left behind that are so rare, you'll want to take and sell. Old photos, priceless other things, and lots more. Just exploring something that hasnt been entered in years is exciting. Now, the golden rule of Urban exlporation is Take only photos, leave only footprints. There for, DON'T STEAL OR DESTORY! 
Anyways, the point of this post is I want to know if there is any other tranceloving urban explorers on these boards.
