Strange and questionable towns... and other Idaho, ID Warning Or Danger Tips

In 1991, my cousin and I were on a road trip, driving through Idaho. We look at the gas gauge, and figured, "well, since we are low, lets get gas at the next exit." We pull off.....

The rest of the story is frightening. Imagine yourself, pulling into a town that has one gas station (combined with a bar at that...never seen that one before), run down houses, burnt and rusted cars on cinderblocks, and trash in the street. Now, imagine yourself getting out of the car to pump gas...you suddenly get the feeling someone is watching you. You look across the street and see all these burly rough looking people standing on their porches with their arms crossed giving you very hard cold stares....

This actually happened, in Idaho of all places. I pumped about $2 worth of gas, threw the handle back on the pump, ran inside, grabbed my cousin and said, "Give the man $2 and lets go...I'll explain along the way." On the way out, he saw what I was referring to.

Basically, what I am trying to say is this: Road trips can be fun, but being careful going into strange towns is a must! If you need to get gas or stop, be sure to stop at a place you see from the interstate. Avoid these towns at all costs. If anyone knows of this place, please e-mail me and let me know so I can add more info to this page. I can't remember the name of the town we were in.

I know that I will never return.
