Where to find abandoned places.
Ok. We know now, what is an Urban Exploration, we have a necessary equipment (if not: link) and we know dangerous we will have to face (if not: link). The time has come to find an object to explore. Where to start?
There is no secret that the greatest resource of information about abandoned places is the internet. If we have a bit of self-denial and know how to use Google, surely we will find something. However, in such a simple way we can probably find only the most popular places, not necessarily the most interesting ones. Another way is to browse the forums. If you decide to write to one of the explorers, you must be aware that they usually don't like to share object locations - mainly because they are trying to protect them against vandalism and stealing.
A good way of discover an abandoned buildings is simply frequent driving a car. Just carefully look around the city to find potential objects. If we will drive outside the city, the highways are not the best idea.
I also recommend you to interest in the history of the abandoned area: read about the sights, find old maps or look for companies that was working here many years ago. Just think and do not go the easy way.

My travels.
As you may have noticed, nothing on this site has been added for some time. But no, I did not leave this project, I'm just busy with others. Currently I am building a website called Fshoq!, where I'm writing a travel blog, where you can find both my new and those old adventures. So if you are waiting for more of my texts or pictures, this is the place I think it is worth looking into. After I will make Fshoq! site more popular, I'm going to get back to Into the Shadows, as I'm having more and more explorations of abandoned places to describe. Meanwhile, see you later!
