The Internet never forgets.

Not that I mind. I think this is great.

It was 10 years ago when a group of us descended into the tunnel system at
FAU (Florida Atlantic University) [4] for a night of exploring. We weren't
the first (we found graffiti from 1976) and we definitely aren't going to be
the last. And the guy's site, Urban Exploration Florida [5], is quite
interesting.

Can't wait for him to get his trip to the FAU tunnel system documented.
