I could never do urban exploration though... all that wandering around in the woods at night breaking into buildings that look like horror movie sets while dodging mysterious men in mysterious uniforms is just too creepy for me.

The urban growth boundary here means that there are very few abandoned places in the city, but there is good stuff outside the city.

I prefer rural exploration, all the creepiness with a third of the actual danger.

Subway hobos are a different breed.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

probably.

the ones we have here are all hairy, tanned, STINKwarts on the ass of highway 50.

i imagine subway hobos to be like those albino lizard things with no eyes that live in caves and never see the light of day that are there one minute and when you turn your head they disappear

This is true.  Park rangers are less likely to shoot first.

Speaking of albino lizards, on Monday when I was down in The Hole I saw an adult Giant Pacific Salamander AND several albino fish, one of which was at least 6" long. I wish I'd brought my camera!

Also, when we were near the bottom we smelled spray paint, because other people were in there with us. One of them was apparently named "Claire", because she wrote her name on the wall, along with a picture of a lion, a dinosaur, and something else I don't remember. They were gone by the time we got up near the top though, probably scared shitless by whatever freaks were coming up at them from the bottom.
