First Hand Drain Boarding

I made a crappy video last time J Greeny and I visited the All Saints Drain for a little drain boarding. The video came out crappy since it was made on a digital camera, but it gives you a sort of first hand look at drain boarding. What a good fucking time. Nothing like a little skating in the sewers to wake you up. Now we just have to find one big enough to stand in instead of crouching. Heres the link. I couldn't get the video to upload to photobucket so I uploaded it to the Abandoned Dreams Myspace Page. Heres the link to the video.

Some Time To Kill- 7/25/07

J Greeny and I had nothing to do for the day so we decided to hit up the All Saints for a few hours of drain boarding. 75% of this five foot RCP with brick junctions is ridable and you can get going pretty fucking fast. I didnt take many photos, due to lack of knowledge of my new camera, but heres the few I did.

After A Long Break, A New Camera

After spending a bunch of money I wanted to spend on a new camera, I realized I only had $150 left and had to improvise. KareBear and I headed off to a flea market and came back with a Kodak EasyShare Z710. Not too bad for what little money I had.

After a long time I could finally go and take a few photos I was personally happy with. This camera has all the manual settings I could have asked for, and I think me and the camera are gonna be good buddies. Here are some of the test shots taken by KareBear and PunkUE.

"The Secret Garden Factories" With J Greeny 3 or 4 factories all lined up alongside each other just waiting for the course of Mother Nature to take hold. Many unsafe floors which could have easily resulted in a 20 foot drop to the basement below. Hardly any of the roof is still up. J Greeny and I know nothing about these buildings except one held many classic car parts and one held many bowling pins, duck pins, candlepins, and bowling bags. There was no other trace that would show this building to have been a bowling alley in its hayday.

ScoutingThe C.F./Pawtucket Train Station. As much as I'd like to say thats what we were there for, I'd be lying. One of only 3 buildings to keep me out, J Greeny and I failed horribly at entering this location. This place was boarded up really really tightly. This place is gorgeous from the photos I've seen so I guess I can understand why that is.

An Active Quarry- 7/04/07

We got bored sitting around on a rainy Fourth of July so KareBear, J Greeny and I headed off to an active quarry to climb around on the machinery while the employees enjoyed their paid day off. J greeny had a little fourth fun with a pack of black cats and a smoke show from a fire extinguisher. Good times and an excellent view from the towers. Enjoy.
