A few years ago I stumbled onto some websites about "Urban Exploration". Basically, the "urban explorers" seek out underground tunnels and old buildings to explore. A recent post by Murdoc refreshed my memory about these sites.
One of the most interesting is called The Action Squad where you can check out the adventures of some urban explorers. The Action Squad is based in the St. Paul, MN area. If I lived there like this guy I think I'd be real tempted to do a little exploring myself. While you're at The Action Squad be sure to visit The Labyrinth. There's also a webring dedicated to Urban Exploration.

Now this is my kind of adventure! It takes me back to an old Disney film, "Emil and the Detective," that aired on television back in September 1966. (Yes, I realize you were too young to see it.) Anyway, the movie featured a plot where a crook stole a young boy's money that was meant for the boy's grandmother. The boy (Emil) and a pack of feisty youths went to work solving the case. Their adventure took them beneath Berlin and through its maze of tunnels! It was a very popular two-part episode on Walt Disney's Sunday night series.
Thanks for the information here. I am ready to go exploring again!
