I can't believe it has been one year to the day since i started this blog. I have been exploring alot longer than a year - but it took me a while to start a blog. Even when i did start it i wasn't sure anyone would actually read it. I have had over 1000 people read my blog which is amazing.
In celebration of my one year anniversary of the blog i decided to look back on some of my favorite moments in the past year or two:
+ rolling a wheelchair down the hall of an asylum
+ jumping through windows to get into buildings
+ taking a face plant in tunnels full of asbestos
+ walking the halls of abandoned hospitals
+ sitting on the roof an active twenty story building at midnight
+ playing many many abandoned pianos & organs in churches
+ spending spare time at an old hospital & drawing some of the rooms
+ standing on the top of an old radar tower
+ meeting explorers from other places
+ exploring on the coldest day of the year
+ finding a large location virtually untouched
+ having my car die after only one year of exploring with it
+ jumping through windows to get into buildings
+ taking a face plant in tunnels full of asbestos
+ walking the halls of abandoned hospitals
+ sitting on the roof an active twenty story building at midnight
+ playing many many abandoned pianos & organs in churches
+ spending spare time at an old hospital & drawing some of the rooms
+ standing on the top of an old radar tower
+ meeting explorers from other places
+ exploring on the coldest day of the year
+ finding a large location virtually untouched
+ having my car die after only one year of exploring with it
& so much more
It has been an amazing time exploring and i do not plan on stopping anytime soon. I have watched many of the locations i have documented get demolished in the past year which sucks - but i know that i was able to see and photograph them before they were gone.
Some of the biggest loses in the past year was the Weyburn Mental Hospital, an abandoned mine and many many farmhouses lost to arsonists. Hardest part of this hobby is losing locations or not being able to see as much of them as you can before they are gone.
Its been a great year and i will continue to blog all my future endeavors. I have had an awesome time with almost everyone i have gone out exploring with. I would like to extend a special thanks to two very important people that i explore with. The first is saskurbex.com for for making as much time as possible to come out exploring with me. I would also like to thank PhoenixEnigma who also explores with me and is helping me with the exploresask website. We have hit some awesome locations together and i look forward to the new year!
Thank you to everyone who reads my blog and shares it with others. Please remember if you have any comments, questions, tips or if you explore in this province as well please send me an e-mail.
Thank you,
arilem
