Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

I've done some of this as well. Seen some pretty amazing things, such as an abandoned papermill's repair workshop still completely intact, with an old tube radiotelephone on the repair table with the back open. Visited 2014, place had been like that since mid-'70s. The laboratory was intact, too. No-one had broken any of the glassware. Sadly enough the place looked completely different the next year, everything smashed.

Nice! Former areas of the Soviet Union have many interesting places for Urban Explorers. I've used to follow a blog called EnglishRussia.com for a long time, which had many urban exploring related articles, but that site seems now to be gone and seems to redirect to possibly malicious websites.

Here is an interesting article from Hackaday, last December, about Parisian explorers:

I've followed UrbanEx for years. Fascinating stuff.

My current fave is Gunkanjima, but there are so so so many more Japanese UrbanEx sites. So much stuff in their country has been abandoned over the years. You can see some really crazy stuff just walking through Tokyo. I remember a completely derelict Supra MKIII on the way to a local hand made soba noodle shop. I'll see if I can find the pic.
