And so it begins...

As an Urban Explorer, I have been to many locations that have intrigued me, confused me, excited me, etc... It's always the most exciting when I come across a location such as home that still has "things" that were left behind, a window into those that lived there in past per say.

A couple of weeks ago, I explored a home, just such as mentioned above. The moment I walked in the door, I was in the kitchen. I turned to the left and there, upon the counter was a coffee mug that read "This is NOT an abandoned mug". I was literally blown away, here I am exploring and photographing an abandoned house, and to find something so literal as this mug was amazing.

Normally Urban Explorers follow a very strong rule, "Take only pictures, leave only footprints", it is rare that I break this rule, but in this case I HAD to have this mug! It was too perfect to leave behind.

After returning home from my adventure, I spoke to a fellow explorer, Ian, and mentioned my find. He made an excellent suggestion. He thought it would be a great idea to take the mug with me everytime I explore a new location, and photograph it in each location. I thought this was a fantastic idea. And so I started this blog. And will post everytime I explore a new location, and include a photo with my new mug!
