Greetings, I stumbled across an ancient post of your's via the powers of Google while searching for information on the FAU steam tunnels:

I then used Google once again to find your apparently current e-mail and decided to contact you. I am an “Urban Explorer” living in Miami, FL. I run the website Urban Exploration Florida (http://uef.hyposomnia.com [2]). Check out the site if you want a bit more background on what I do and to check out some pictures.
Anyways, a friend of mine stumbled across this map of the FAU (Florida Atlantic University) tunnel system:

I was quite suprised as I had given up all hope of finding steam tunnels anywhere in FL due to us being so close to sea level. Well anyways, since you have apparently been in these tunnels at some point I was hoping you may be able to provide some information on them before I make the hour long drive up there to see them for myself. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated such as how you got in, at what time of day did you go, did you run into anyone while down there, how tight is security on campus, do they have any motion detectors or camera's in the tunnels, etc. It seem's that it's been quite a while since you were there, but a bit of old info is better than no info at all.
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.
Commentary and pictures [6] are now available.
