Is there any way to locate your abandoned fortresses from in adventure mode?  I cannot for the life of me remember where my fortress was, and I really wanted to try exploring it...

You could try opening up Legends and poking through the historical maps -- it's a fullscreen display with everything revealed, so your fortress might be easier to find.

Ask (almost) anyone about surroundings enough and they'll eventually point you in the right direction.
Sometimes the NPC wont tell you what you want to know after dozens of questions so you should ask someone else. This was the 5th time I asked:

Rigòth Kilruddodók Oltarsebïr Budam, Hammer Lord: Tell me about this area.
Sasir Penamesm, Mayor: Hamecurl is far to the south.
Sasir Penamesm, Mayor: In the early spring if 1051, The Savage Gates of The Road of Boring founded Hamecurl.

So I'd head south and ask again in the next town. I'm not sure but after being told that a site's somewhere, you should check the 'Q'->'s' for sites and see if the place is there (usually at the bottom of the list). Then you could 'z'oom to it.

The year 1051 and the season spring are giveaways about Hamecurl being a fort founded by the player. More recently generated (small) worlds will probably have the year 201 because world generation stops when enough megabeasts have died and they die easy.

Thanks!

you can also go into dwarf fortress mode, and it will show you exactly where your old forts are on the embark screen. though some consider this cheating.
