Whats TCUR?

TCUR or also known as Twin Cities Urban Recon is a group of friends who enjoy exploring alot and do it in our spare time. We enjoy exploring together, with other people, research history of abandoned areas of life, and did I mention, explore?

What the hell do we do?

Basically what we do is explore the forgotten...

This can include Grain Elevators, Mills, Abandonded Warehouses and even Depots all the way to Brewery Caves, Brewery Cellers, Tunnels, Drains, and even basements. Whatever there is to explore that time or people have forgotten and left to dissapear in a self rotting tomb of time. We go there, get in, photgraph it, then do background research and try to preserve it as best we can.

In a way its kind of like Homework and in a UE sense it would go somthing like this.

Your assignment is to find this cave. Ok, we find it. Then we write some paragraphs, add some pictures, and then we just got an A+ in Urban Exploration.

This "hobby" or "obsession" of ours can be filed under many different names.

For example, some of the most well known ones are as follows:

Urban Exploration
Urbex
Draining
Spelunking
Tunnel Rats
Cavers

Those probably best describe in a single word what we do. Explore.

Why do we do it?

We love history, but we also carry that rare trait among modern society to go where other people wont for whatever reason. It could be because people frown upon exploration, maybe they dont want to get some dirt on there hands, or maybe its simply the risk. To explore, document and preserve the past is what we do.

HELL WE LOVE IT!!!
