Pfffffft--

I been wondering where you got off to, man! As far as I know, the Hilton is still alive and well, but the last time I was up there UP was doing beaucoup track work, and had erected some new fencing to discourage people from approaching the wye in vehicles, but I doubt it has slowed down tramps on foot at all.
When I first started frequenting the jungle (years ago) we never saw any bulls, and only very rarely saw anybody except train crews. There's more traffic these days, and probably it's our own fault for building the Hilton in the first place. It does attract local kids (and at least a few drug addicts) as well as tramps. Good to hear from you!

As for Texas Mad Man having a daughter, I don't think he does, but I'm not 100% sure. He was (is) a very secretive kind of guy, and even his closest friends (which I'm not) did not know his real name. He used to talk about having a son that is a banker or something, but in retrospect that story might just be part of his smokescreen. I hear he got fifteen years in the Federal pen, and considering his poor health and his age, I doubt he will ever get out of prison alive.

I have known several people in my life who were sentenced to prison for long stretches. All I can say is that breaking the law is a very bad idea, because if (when) you get caught the consequences can be pretty awful. I pretty much avoid lawbreaking altogether, with the single exception of riding a train once in a while.
