Urban Exploring

Okay. Okay. Urban exploring is usually when you explore abandoned urban structures. But they don't always have to be abandoned, construction sites are a popular place to urban explore (but it's best to go when no one's around, like at night, otherwise the construction workers might get mad at you). So basically urban exploring is like super fun adventure, and you might find some cool keepsakes/artifacts to take home.

My favorite is exploring abandoned houses, because they're usually super creepy, and maybe haunted. You always have to ask yourself "Why is this house abandoned? Is it condemned because of structural damage during some natural disaster? Did ghosts eat the inhabitants?" It's a MYSTERY.

As always though it's good to be careful, some houses are maybe too abandoned for their own good, and they could just collapse on you at any moment. For example, don't go into buildings that look like this:

It's a good idea to go with a buddy anytime your urban exploring, because you might start thinking about ghosts and freak yourself out. Plus, you know, the buddy system's a good system.

Empty irrigation canals are fun to use as shortcuts, especially if you live in a cute town with orchards/farmland (talking about you, Orem).

I've never personally done this, but some friends of mine have explored storm drain systems during the time of year when they're typically dry. I'm actually really eager to do this, because it sounds exciting and I want to be a ninja turtle.

Look how cute that is. That guy is so ready for an adventure with his backpack. ♥
