The following set of links is not a definitive collection of exploration links. Many other sites offer this, particularly the Urban Exploration Ring. These are just links we enjoy or find useful; some have a connection to exploration, others do not. We will try to keep the links updated regularly, and continue to add new stuff. If you find a dead link, let us know!


URBAN ADVENTURERS WEBRING

This ring contains sites focusing on the art of urban exploration: touring storm drains, abandoned buildings, rooftops, transit tunnels, college steam tunnels and other off-limits locations.


HOW TO SNEAK AROUND

Sneaking around can be more than cheap thrills. It's a useful skill for journalists, photographers, street artists, activists, survivalists, travelers, urban commandos, trespassers, and adventurers.  Here's how to do it, according to some guy.


SHEDWORKS: UNCOMMON SCENES

Nude photos with abandoned industrial scenes as backdrops (click on "Galerie"). Those of you who witnessed the Action Squad Nude gallery will find this familiar, if inferior.


SINGING SCIENCE RECORDS

Mp3s of a bunch of weird old 1950's songs about various aspects of science. Especially fun if you have any background in the philosophy or history of science.


BIG FUCKIN SKULL

A local punk band that wears skull makeup and only plays songs about skulls that kill people. Gotta love that!


MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

An awesome resource for locals; stop by next time you are in Saint Paul. This is where Action Squad gets most of our historical information and photographs. The website has a ton of info available.


FROM SITE TO STORY: THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI'S BURIED PAST

A pioneering research site that will guide you through an exploration of the Upper Mississippi's buried past in Minnesota. Filled with remarkable scientific data and intriguing stories about the people and times of long ago.


HOT AIR

The Annals of Improbable Research (AIR) is a humor magazine about science, medicine, and technology. About a third of what they publish is genuine research, about a third is concocted, and about a third of their readers cannot tell the difference.


MAPQUEST

Why on earth are we linking to a giant corporate site? Because recently Mapquest added a feature: satellite photographs of the location you map! We used to use Terraserver, but these photos are in color and we like them better.


PHOTO TOUR OF MINNEAPOLIS

Good pictures from all over the city.
