"Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits
parts of human civilization. Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration
to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites.
In the USA, it may also be referred to as "draining"
(when exploring drains) "urban spelunking", and "urban caving", "vadding", "building
hacking", "Reality hacking" or "roof and
tunnel hacking"
Ventures into abandoned structures are perhaps the most common example of urban exploration. Abandoned sites are generally
entered first by locals, and often sport large amounts of graffiti and acts of vandalism.
Explorers face various risks in abandoned
structures including collapsing roofs and floors, broken glass, guard dogs, the presence of chemicals, other harmful substances,
most notably asbestos, hostile squatters and sometimes motion detectors. Some explorers wear respirators to protect their airways.
Exploration targets vary from one country to another, but some of the more popular or high-profile abandonments include
amusement parks, grain elevators, missile silos, hospitals, asylums, and sanatoriums.
Most, if not all explorers of abandonments find the decay of uninhabited spaces to be beautiful; many of these explorers are
also photographers. Some abandonments are heavily guarded with motion sensors and active security. Others are more easily
accessible and carry less risk of discovery. Abandonments are also popular among history
buffs, "urban archaeologists, "ghost hunters" and fans of graffiti art."

This is a photo of an abandoned Sanitarium or health home in Wisconsin. The grounds used to be
an academy (Hylandale) for youth. Also beside is an abandoned girl's dorm. Some locals call the girl's dorm haunted and take
illegal tours of both old buildings. No trespassing signs are posted but people sneak in any way. Actually a person could probably
get permission to do some urban exploration of the old building if they would ask. But it could be dangerous to explore these
old buildings since some of the floors are weak and you could fall through.
Jane Hallock of Hylandale is hoping to fix up the Old health home for a youth retreat.

Open Letter to Urban Exploration & Abandoned Buildings
Fans:
Dear Fans,
I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story?
It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves
the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.
In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been
but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click
