Almost every source gives a different meridian for this city.

Jim Hollison writes: Front page article in the local paper: http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4788998/16462591.html
They mislabel storm drains as "sewers" several times. However, they do refer to them as storm sewers a couple times. They also say it's
courageous to go a block underground.

Sometimes you can find nifty stuff under gratings (but watch out for those needles and other nasty stuff!) and there's always the fun of yelling at people or leaving interesting things for future explorers. http://drainfreak.virtualave.net/protected/drainx2.jpg Also: http://www.goldengatetunnel.com/  ;-)

The guys from http://www.dierinbedrijf.nl/ have published a couple of interesting reports on their website. They visited, and published pictures of the Easternmost and Southernmost spots in the Netherlands. And on another day they swam in all three major rivers of the Netherlands. You can find the reports - mostly pictures - here:

The Bureau of Public Secrets website features Ken Knabb's translations from the Situationist International, the notorious avant-garde group that began with urban "psychogeographical" experiments in the 1950s and ended up triggering the May 1968 revolt in France.

The Taos hum page - http://www.amasci.com/hum/hum.html The 'Taos Hum' is a low-pitched sound heard in numerous places world-wide, especially in the USA, UK, and northern Europe.

A lot of people are charmed by ruins and abandoned buildings. Some people explore them. Other people try to save them. All make interesting websites:

All those here interested in abandoned buildings, click here: http://oboylephoto.com/ruins/ Modern Ruins Photographic Essays is by far the best photographic site of abandoned modern ruins that I have ever seen.

A Calgarian explorer Mr. Sable has a web site showing some of the things I've done or will be doing when I get back.
