\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Ever wonder what kind of person it takes to squeeze through a mangled chain-link fence and slither down into the dark, cold, urine-soaked caverns of a an abandoned subway tunnel — all for the sake of adventure and not much glory? Like many of life’s great mysteries, the answer may be found on Facebook \"external<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They call themselves the Associated Rochester Subway Expeditioneers \"external<\/a> (ARSE …heh heh). When I first stumbled upon this group I was all giddy with childhood excitement. “Here’s a group worth joining” I wrote on their wall \"external<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And so I joined.<\/p>\n

It saddens me to report we’re a lonely bunch. After 2 weeks there’s not a single reply to my post and there’s absolutely nothing happening on the group’s discussion board. I admit I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting. Perhaps we’d all get together and swap stories about hidden subway chambers we had unearthed. Or maybe share a chuckle over being chased thru the tunnel by some hobo we’d mistaken for being dead. There are<\/i> a few neat photos of the subway along with one video (which I posted).<\/p>\n

In the end, like the Buffalo Bills during the playoffs, I’m bored.
\nThere are just 6 of us “Expeditioneers”. The group’s founder calls it “elite”. Maybe. I don’t know.<\/p>\n
