I have to start somewhere, and frankly... here is as good a place as any. I'm actually not in Saint Paul, even though that's listed as my hometown; I'm starting in Vancouver, because that's where the idea has caught me. I've done some scouting with Google Earth and will probably do my first expedition on Tuesday or so. Today being Sunday, that's a little ways off. So I've got time. But for now, I'm content to wait. It's not exactly a long term dream, though Urban Exploring has been.
See, that's really why I want to do this. It's because there's a side to cities that I don't see, I love the feeling of infinite distance, I love the feeling of possibility. And trapped in my dorm room, with only a tiny window and a computer as means of contacting the outside world, possibility is something I'm certainly starved of. Obviously, it sounds a little emo to say that every bit of creativity has been squeezed out of my life, but it feels that way. That's why the culmination of this little project will be, at least in the short term, a rather long walk from Saint Paul to the Temprence River on the north shore of Lake Superior and
back. The logistics are rather complicated.
In any case, I'm going to run off for now; I may or may not have pictures from my exploits. We'll see.
Vancouver Branch, over and out.
