Well it’s finally here, the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season!
MotoPicks.com has launched their first ever Supercross fantasy league. Sign up and win sweet prizes weekly!
Something that I have always been fascinated about was how things work, why things were built the way they were and what places look like behind closed doors. I love old architecture and broken down buildings. Something so beautiful and interesting about an abandoned building falling to pieces left forgotten.
I have always loved hiking and exploring, and I often partake in geocaching, and those activities satisfy that desire somewhat. However, there is nothing like adding a little danger to the equation for a bit of that rush, the fear of getting caught or what you might find.
But there is one thing that I have never gotten a chance to really do, urban exploration, also known as Urbex or UE. Often highly illegal and involving the need to break through doors, locks, and fences.
Every now and then, I come across an article that rejuvenates my interest in the area. This posting is a list of really cool places that I will probably only ever dream of seeing in person.

Some day I would like to travel to the Ukraine and explore the area with a local guide of the tourists beaten path.

After reading an article about climbers exploring abandoned missile silos and mapping out military complexes, I knew it was something I would like to explore one day.

This is a fascinating place. Add on the fact that it is an extremely old tunnel system and the creepiness of thousands of human remains piled on the floor to the height of your head. Would be an incredible sight to see.
Interesting article with pictures of people living the drains of Las Vegas
Really don’t have some links for this, but any cave or crack in the earth/rock/ice would be interesting to explore, especially deep mutli-day treks into the void.

A website dedicated to exploring places you should not be.
A Canadian Forum for interested UE
