LOL reminds me of when I was younger, used to walk and explore miles of storm drains. Its all good as long as its not a sanitary or mixed system, and its not raining (or other sources of large amounts of water). Never know what you'll find, from basket balls to TVs to cars/parts. Occasional bats and other critters. Sometimes gang activity if you turn down a wrong pipe. Fun Fun Fun

@moriachik1 Interesting you say, I live in thornton if you know where that is an one drain system is probably 3ft heigh where you basically crawl through or, as you said, get on a board and ride on your bellie. The other is probably 6-7ft heigh and you just run through it as showed in this video.

Haha awesome guys. I live all the way across the land in Pennsylvania. If you were to explore our storm drains they'd probably be a lot dirtier, maybe.

haha reminds me of a time me and 3 of my friends (one being my cousin) went up a big storm drain in Cowra , we had a gps system and at 2k's up the drain , my cousin crawled up under one of the gutters that you see all over the streets to call his dad , he got scared shitless that his dad was going to kill him for going up there , he took our only flash light and ran off , we were stuck there for a further 5k's with nothing but the flash on my phone and a gps , we eventually found an ending :D
