Abandoned Buildings

Infiltration.org is sweet. I would love to do some more exploration. I've only been in a few abandoned buildings. One abandoned hotel that was closed for a year or so, they were getting ready to mow it down with a bulldozer. So we just went in there destroying shit for fun. Throwing around chairs and smashing shit on the walls. Lots of broken glass lol. The pool was empty so some of my friends would skateboard around in it. I always thought it would be cool to go down into the abandoned subway tunnels under my city, but I just dont know how to get in cuz they're all blocked off.
 
I'd like to do some urban decay exploring but feel a bit weird going alone. I did stop by Centralia a few days ago on my way through PA.

^Cool pictures.

Exploring abandoned old houses in the country are incredibly intriguing to me.
I have to fight myself to not go trek through them.
I love finding evidence of the age of the house or odd items hidden in the area........
Newspapered walls are my fav.

When I was little there was one camping trip up in the Sierra Nevadas that we plopped ourselves down near this old abandoned cabin. The walls were covered in falling apart magazine/newspaper pin up girls. They were amazing. I was able to tear down one girl - she was drawn in red (most were drawings).....somewhere along the way I lost it. Still bums me out.
 
Centralia, PA. Most of the town was evacuated due to an underground coal mine fire that's been burning for almost 50 years. There are a few people that won't move out but most of the town has been torn down and overgrown. The two smoke pics are from the highway that had to be rerouted due to the ground splitting.
