Drainsploration: Adventures in the drains of Canada

Fine underground urban adventure in Toronto: The explorers' website, The Vanishing Point, provides some great photos and very detailed contextual documentation. There is a really engaging interview with one of the adventures over at the BLDGBLOG.

I'm going to have to look into exploring some local drains.

bumfuzzle!

Here's a great sailing adventure travel blog that I recently re-discovered. It's about a couple who abandon yuppy-hood in order to sail around the world. I love how they've documented all the costs in detail (looks like about $20-25k USD per year), and how they keep a page where they quote "internet critics" who imply that their adventures are reckless. Discussion of their (mis)adventures have even been banned on a popular cruising forum. Sounds like some folks are jealous. I know I am!

Now it seems they decided to sell the boat in favor of driving around the world in a vintage VW bus (and some vintage porsche x-country racing as well). It great to see people devoting them selves to adventure.
