Chicago land Urban Exploration

Chicago land Urban Exploration Dedicated to promoting Urban Exploration in and around the Chicagoland area and the Midwest. We are Chi-Ex! To that end there are a few "rules" we follow.

**WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFLIATED WITH CHICAGOLAND URBEX** We are adventurers, explorers, travelers, hobbyists, infiltration experts, photographers, and just plain curious people. We live to explore the unknown, abandoned, forgotten, restricted, and off limits. We are not content to stick to the path, we would rather make our own or explore what is beyond "the fence". look but don't touch
leave places

as you found them
don't steal
try not to disturb the neighbors, be an idiot, or generally do anything that might ruin it for others
no vandalism
be safe and be knowledgeable

Feel free to share specific locations (e.g. entry points, names of sensitive places) by PM, but not in posts or comments. Definition of UE
Urban exploration is the act of accessing locations that are typically restricted to the general public. It’s also known as UE or urbex in some circles, but is often mistaken as simply the discovery of urban decay or abandoned properties. However, the broader definition also includes the exploration of rooftops, drains, sewers, construction sites, or any other location that may have restricted access.
