Nampa has unmarked bull mobiles.. When I was there last I was hanging around near the Fred Meyer building (mid yard) and a guy pulled up in his little two door junker Toyata prism , I think it was. Idaho bulls are really uptight.

Nampa is a weird yard. Very long. Best place to jungle up is about a half mile SE of the FredMyer. Tracks split off NW from the yard to form a wye get to the creek and make your camp there. Water is ok.

If you do decide to go to Pokey, go south to Ogden. I can hook you up with some grub.

Highball!

Hinkle sucks cause the yard is out in the open pretty much. Did you get pinched? Home guard is all over in the northwest, although it has a bunch of tramps and boes as well.

Come on down before I head east.

Yeah it is out in the open but I have never had a problem getting out of there. Grown to like the place actually. There are some tricks to the trade actually there is great spots to wait for 2 of 3 directions out of that yard, the 3rd is problematic yes.
