What does it mean to you, I mean. What do you think you are missing in your life?

I'm looking for little-known places like abandoned buildings or caves of old bunkers to explore with a camera. I read Access All Areas a few years ago and I'm finally really getting motivated to give it a shot. Most of the old places mentioned in UrbEx forums like the Schlage Lock Factory or the Galaxy Movie Palace have been demolished. The old underground network of WWII bunkers has been closed off too. Yes, a lot of it required trespassing

I'm just getting sick of wake up + force myself to eat + work + go home + stare at my computer + force myself to eat + go to bed

Apparently UrbEx is an extremely intoxicating activity and gives people a new appreciation for their cities

*or old bunkers

At UC Berkeley there is a tunnel that was built to carry water from Strawberry Canyon under the roads and stadium and release it on campus. I walked very far up starting from the bottom of the tunnel. The ceiling was high enough for me to walk upright but I was several inches shorter then so it is probably going to be a bit cramped. Probably best to do this when it has not rained in several days and rain is not predicted, as the creek runs along the floor of the entire tunnel. I only walked as far as the fork in the tunnel before turning back. There is plenty to explore there and I won't describe it all but it is worth spending an afternoon walking up there.

Oh man! That sounds like a great place to start. Any more info on where specifically to enter it? I've never been to that campus

Thanks anon

West Oakland has all kinds of places ready for urban exploration
Just get off at the West Oakland BART station

OP you'll most likely see this kind gentleman.

Seriously, Bay Area homeless are in a class all their own. And you're going to go mucking around in their refuges as some sort of TOURIST? They're going to love that, they'll welcome you with open arms.

kidding me? You don't know about the underground base in Golden Gate park? or the old atlas/nike missile sites?

also hellhole in Santa Cruz, lots of caves

Stop being afraid of people in other walks of life.

Americans are better than that.
