This can be advantageous if that particular system has not been fully explored as many hidden treats will go undiscovered.
I stumbled upon this drain over two years ago near my home at the time. Having observed creeks, parks and terrain patterns I knew there had to be something around here somewhere...
When I eventually found an entrance through a grille in a park lawn, I found a guestbook written on the drain wall stating it had been found by a long-retired explorer about five or six years prior. Yet no-one knew about this drain. Time to find out more! I asked around the retired explorers only to be told, "yeh it's shit... I think I remember it".
Returning weeks later with my camera, many beers and a non-explorer friend, we explored the remainder of the system finding many treats (photos of that at a later date as I was lazy at the time). Previously unnamed, I baptised the drain Audacious Tomb - an in-joke at the time. Unfortunately, after showing others around the location it became known as Air Services Drain (another in-joke at the time). Before long everything in this bloody city is going to be named Air Services something or other.
Air Services... It's not even how you spell it...
