Were You An Explorer?

[FUNKMAN]

Panic Room is on and the house got me thinking about how much me and my friends enjoyed "exploring new places" growing up in Jersey City...
We always ventured somewhere, whether it was hopping a Path train into the City, getting off at a random location and just walking in new neighborhoods for hours on end... Locally we would go into any burnt out or abandoned house we found, or if there was new construction(like the townhomes on Grove St) we were hanging out in them at night while they were being built during the day...
We climbed hills and sought out the darkest/longest train tunnels(Dead Man's tunnel ran from Dickinson Hill to Journal Square)...

we broke into the "old" Pavonia train station, and one time there was a warehouse/factory that sat on a pier out over the river, we climbed under a chain link fence, walked along the outside to the back of the warehouse. We then busted in a door and walked through the inside of the warehouse to get out. You had to see the puzzled look on the workers faces as we strolled through right past them...

so how about yourself, have you gone on any adventures?

How about walking through a subway tunnel-does that count? Also, I had an opportunity a few years back to explore the part of Howe's Caverns (upstate NY) that is not part of the tourist trap- truly awesome!!!!

i live in mahwah, so we go to harriman and wander alot. also we like to just stop and wander into random woods just to see whats there. we've found some cool shit like abandoned water sheds and pumping stations. one time we found this old cabin that no one used and threw a kegger. it was cool until the cops busted it up because it was some kinda historical place from the revolution or something like that. what did we know

hey reesh,

subway-tunnels count... we used to like to walk down the catwalks of the 9th st or 23rd st tunnels to where the Maintenance guys had their little shop areas...

Howe Caverns - what a fucking coincidence... My dad took us to Niagra Falls and because he was 'cheap' we looked at them and drove right back home. On the way home we stopped at the Howe Caverns, i remember being so "dissapointed" when they stopped the boat at the really good/dark part of the tunnel... I had that same dissapointment when we went to the Myah(sp?) Ruins in Mexico, they had most of the good parts blocked off...

Cool

I grew up on a military base, so there was plenty to explore.

Yep. I've explored many miles along the Wissahickon Creek and Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. The crumbling colonial period houses in the woods, digging for bottles. Walking along the train tracks, through the Split Rock Tunnel, over the Split Rock Dam, looking for glass insulators that use to line the tracks. I have gotten lost on more than one occasion up the Poconos, much to my parents dismay, while on vacation with the family. And I always loved walking the beaches for hours on end to see what washed up on shore.

I explore the creek... it goes under the highway, and I spend a lot of my time there setting off firecrackers and lighting massive fires (just dont tell). It goes into the sewers and on occasion it is flooded with rushing water.

Did you ever find a dead body or get covered in leeches?

Oh Man when i lived in central jersey [martinsville; which is actually on a mountain in NJ] we were about the 7th of 20 homes that would eventually be built there.

The entire neighborhood would just go nuts; amazingly we didnt fuck up a lot of stuff, we just played on the frames and climbed all over the place; and of course we used what they had to build our own Forts.

In Martinsville NJ in Monmouth County, where I lived, there was a 10-story cliff not a mile away from us. It was called Chandler's Cliff. Off Hillcrest Road. There were actually a couple of car bodies at the bottom of the thing, I shit you not. We would hang on the edge and party; why one of us didn't fall is beyond me.

It ruled.
