I would find something, anything, to mark on the walls with, if it were at all possible to mark on the walls. I would follow the flow of the sewage/water/air currents to try to keep going in some kind of progressive direction. I would keep looking up in the hopes of finding an access hatch to let me out.
I would never go into such a thing without at least a flashlight and some sidewalk chalk. I used to explore the nether-regions of a certain northern California town which shall remain nameless. As well, I used to explore the old mines in the foothills. Very dangerous, very rewarding and creepy. Great fun. I had a few close calls, one time narrowly escaping a 100 foot or more drop down a mine shaft in total darkness. I walked about 50 feet into a tunnel in the side of a hill and decided suddenly that it'd be a good idea to spark up my flashlight. As soon as I did, it revealed my feet to be about 6 inches from what would have been my certain death

Me too! I was actually thinking the other day of doing a post dedicated to links related to ruins, abandoned facilities, underground cities, etc.
Sorry I have no photos of my old exploits. But I have a lot of links to other's adventures. My arachnophobia has become shall we say... a little bit more pronounced in the last few years. There was a bit of a widow overpopulation in Southern California, and I was in constant fear of waking up next to one. I even found one about 5 feet from where I slept one morning. The idea of creeping through a dark tunnel even here in Northern California gives me heebies like you wouldn't believe these days. Not saying I would never do it again, just that it would take a leap of bravery for me.
10 years ago I wouldn't have even considered the spider factor. Go figure.
