Two links I think some of you might be interested in:

Abandoned Places livejournal community. Obscenely frequently updated with great photos and interesting stories of abandoned places around the world.

Infiltration, a zine and online journal that used to be run by a guy that I knew called Ninjalicious. He was a really audacious explorer and, unfortunately posthumously, published a really great book on the subject called Access All Areas.

Happy exploring!

Oh, here's another thing. This is a journal I found in a building being demolished. The journal hadn't been touched for a long time and had subsequently been vandalized. A while ago I tediously transcribed this journal because I found it utterly fascinating. Maybe youse might too. Here it is.

Oh, Infiltration is the zine I was flipping out to you about while we were walking to the pub in Spokane, Cyc! I love infiltration... but I'm not ballsy enough to do it (often). I've done it a few times before and it made me sooo nervous. (I'm such a goodie-goodie, I'm afraid of breaking rules or injuring myself in the process.)

We have an abandoned marina here in San Jose (Alviso) that we explored around recently -

- as well as a bunch of cool places in Cali.

You know, the fear of breaking the rules is the only thing that keeps people out of private places most of the time! The best rule is the "authorized personel only" sign, which helpfully doesn't tell you who you need authorization from. So... I authorize you guys! Have fun!

Try walking through an "employees only" door in a mall. If you're dressed cleanly and boringly, walk confidently and act as if you belong there, you can pretty much go wherever you want and noone will be the wiser.

It's actually kind of funny where you can go at times just by acting normal.
