Anaconda Opportunity

Montana:

If you get pulled over for speeding 12 miles over the speed limit, the cop gives you the option of taking the ticket and sending the money through the mail or
...paying him right there. $20. And he only takes cash. But he gives you a receipt so its legit right? Kinda shady, but more cool. And I was real glad we happened to have cash on us.

There isn't too much to see driving through Montana, but every 5-10 miles for 50 miles are billboards advertising the 50,000 Silver Dollar Truck Stop/Casino/Gas Station/Trinkets Galore. Turns out one of my favorite things is HUGE truck stop trinket /gas stations.
So we had to stop.







So some GENIUS people decided to make the theme of their truck stop 'silver dollars' so everyone who ever went there since it started just gave them a silver $$$ and carved their name by it. And over the years it all added up. Now silver is worth a whole lot more than 1$ and these peeps are rollin' like Jay Z in the bling.
Only all their bling is mounted on the walls and in the counter tops... all 50, 000 blings and counting. Smartest people I ever heard of. Why didn't I think of it? I could be a ten thousand maybe hundred thousandaire if they didn't beat me to it. But they did.
I maybe am too into this place, but it just blew my mind.


Also in the middle of nowhere Montana is this little gem. And I feel like these opportunities don't really come around too often. You know? I'm also glad that this anaconda opportunity is at the same exit as a hospital. You really have no excuse not to seize it.
