Yes, the yards are a great place to find many treasures! Do you also have flashes from the parts pulling experience in freezing weather and in your scivies?
Hang in there! Once you find another salvage parts yard in your new location the feelings of longing will subside. It's a little tough to relocate to a new area and not know where things are, and not knowing many people. You often don't realize how many aquaintances you have, even on the most superficial basis, until you move to an unfamiliar area as you have done. You will probably have to visit quite a few yards until you find the one that "turns your crank".
