exciting visual adventure story

This is my favorite, it looks awesome and also includes an assumedly bottomless pit (the concrete on the ground below the drippy formation was gone, just a dark pool, you can see the water splashing on its surface. next time I'm bringing a fishing weight and a bunch of string)

These are really wonderful. I'd love to see some more.

At one of our city parks there was a pretty extensive system that was easily accessible. We were pretty young when we decided to explore, and it was a very stupid thing to do, looking back. After crouching for, I'd say, half a mile, it opened up into this pretty spacious set of tunnels and we spent the afternoon poking around.

The next week, some kid died in one of the adjacent tunnels after big rainfall.

what a pussy
that's my favorite one  cjlubdoods;

It is my favorite too but it is kinda creepy

Back in perhaps 2003 (?), two guys were sept to their deaths in a system of interconnected tunnels under downtown St. Paul during a storm. There have also been probably a dozen or so news stories I remember about people falling through floors of grain elevators in the area.

The pit wziard is talking about is actually pretty unsettling. Not only is it deeper than we can see, it also appears to strech out undeneath the concrete tunnel for who knows how far. Of course, it's not surprising that once the water wore through the concrete it cleared out the sandstone pretty fast. That stuff is really really sort.

Also, next time I'm bringing kneepads and my dad's old climbing harness. Those surface systems seem like they probably have some interesting secrets yet.

Applesauce, you have to write down everything you see and take pictures for me, okay?
And you too, Snorkel.

There shall be cartography missions and real photography missions (bright lights and better lenses), there was lots of cool shit I just couldn't capture properly

The longboard idea intrigues me, if we had skateboards/scooters/etc we could cruise down those smaller surface tunnels with speed and comfort

I don't see how that would be fun.
