It's just an old prison
Published: Fri, 10/11/13
I'm bolting out of work early today and taking my kids to a
museum. Not just any old museum.
This is the old state prison in a town called Deer Lodge. They
also created an old car museum on the site as well. Yes, I know,
the two don't fit.
Anyway, the prison looks like a castle.
It has an outer stone wall made of gray stone, with towers. The
walls were wide enough that guards would walk the perimeter.
There is an inner fortress, built of red brick. It has towers as
well.
It was originally built and placed into service in 1871, when
Montana was still a territory.
The town actually grew around the prison. It was closed in the
1970s and the prisoners moved to a new prison outside of town.
The prison still stands, and as I said they made a museum out of it.
Kind of a neat thing to go see on a chilly Montana fall day.
Seeing a prison also builds a healthy respect for the law in kids
as well. I know it did for me. I toured the prison with my
grandpa when I was a kid.
Still have those memories.
So the idea of the old prison turned museum got me thinking.
Your sand might be just like that old prison.
It could be just sitting there. You've owned it for years.
Not sure what to do with it.
One option is to sell it as frac sand, if it's high enough
quality.
How do you figure out the quality? Aha, glad you asked!
You send it me for testing.
Quick.
Affordable.
Friendly.
Accurate.
We let you know whether or not your sand can be used for hydraulic
fracturing.
That's my bit.
Here's where to go:
