Q&A

Some questions to answers I’ve been asked over the years:

Q) What does Adventure Bible School mean? 

A) It’s a spoof on a church camp of the same name, which I used to as a kid.  I also have a history of choosing terrible joke names for my creative endeavors.  If you are the real Adventure Bible School program (which I think is a video game now?) please don’t sue me. If you are looking for the real Adventure Bible School, welcome!

Q) Are the places on Adventure Bible School the only place you’ve gone? 

A) Nope, they’re only a small fraction of the places I’ve explored, I’m just posting slowly due to time constraints. (2019 update: I stopped mostly stopped updating this site in 2015, but am working on a book about urban exploring, due out in 2022, that will cover many places not on this site.)

Q) Why do you name some locations and not others? 

A) If a location is well traveled, I’ll use its real name, but if the place is unknown and/or special to me, I’ll probably use a moniker.

Q) Is it dangerous to explore abandoned places? 

A) Sure, if you’re a baby. (2020 update: I now have an actual baby, so I don’t explore as much as I used to on account of “danger.”)

Q) I know of this cool abandoned place but it’s not near New York, should I even bother telling you about it?

A) Yes! I actually left NYC in 2016, and, as of 2021, am permanently based in Sonoma County, California. I also travel frequently so I’m always curious about new places.

Q) Is this your day job? 

A) No, don’t be ridiculous. My day job is doodling and writing fart jokes.
