Tales of Exploration (May/June 2011)
Tell us about the best exploring you've ever done. Have you built a secret fort in the woods? Scaled the tallest tree in the neighborhood? Is there a creek, somewhere, that nobody knows about but you?
well, in my neborhood there is some pathways that only the children know about

I think social networks are okay if used properly but I don't think anybody younger than 16 who does not need it for school (homework people!!!) should have a facebook and anybody younger then 11 definetly should not have a facebook becuase though many people are nice there are plenty of creeps out there.

I'd have to say the most fun I ever had exploring was doing my scuba certification dives in Long Island Sound.
The final dive was under a bridge, and the pilings (the pillars that hold the bridge up) had tons of mussels growing on them. All kinds of fish came to eat the mussels, and the water was kind of murky, so you wouldn't see them approaching until they were five feet in front of you!
That made it a little scary when the fish that swam up were sea bass three feet long! But the biggest suprise I got was seeing a baby lionfish swim by. Lionfish normally live only in the tropics, but there's an invasive population on the East Coast that people think started when somebody's aquarium got washed out to sea by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. I just know it was strange diving with tropical fish an hour's drive from home!

Welllll.... we have woods behind our house and my friend, my older brother and i went exploring the paths and we kinda got lost... not really lost though. We just got lost from my brother and had a hard time finding him again.

Heh. Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret.
There is however, a creek in my friends backyard where all of her friends and her brother's friends come to catch crayfish.

I think the most fun time I have had was when my ex-friend (who was my friend at that point) twisted her ankle in the woods, and as she was resting, we saw a bear paw connected to a bear arm bone, with no other bear. So, the conclusion we reached was: There's something in the woods that can kill and eat a bear! Eek! Nothing like panic to make you have a good time!

In the wetlands behind my school, there are some forts.

Well... On a school camp we went caving, and in one place they let our group play hide and seek. Wandering around in a cave with just your headlamp, covered in mud and other stuff, trying to squeeze through gaps you could very well get stuck in (although those gaps were either narrow or low, not both), was definitely an adventure. Then when I found a spot I could sit in the dark and feel totally alone, at least until someone called out.
Going on bushwalks involving cliffs with no handrails or anything to stop you falling off is interesting.
Most of my exploring involves weird things on the internet, though.
