Silver Dollar Saloon
Entry 2 of 4 | show all | print this entry |
If you are traveling on I-90 in western Montana Haugan Mt at Mile Marker 16 is a must stop. Haugan is the home of Lincoln's $50000 Saloon. It is a "Wall Drug" like place with Fuel, Motel, Cafe, Gift shop, Casino (6 slots) and Saloon. The Saloon is the unique part. There are more than 50000 dollar coins in the bar top and on the walls. More than 10,000 of them are real silver. It use to be called the 10000 Silver Dollar Saloon but the Lincoln's changed the name this year. They also have free RV camping behind the building and if you are lucky you may get a site with free electricity.
We spent a nice night here. We went into the saloon and had great nachos for dinner and sampled 4 of their several Montana beers. It was a lovely evening. We were boondocking but no problem. We were shaded by the pines in the late afternoon and then in the evening the temperature dropped to 50 degrees. Since we had ALL the windows and vents open, our coach interior was nearly that cool too. GREAT sleeping.
In the morning we bundled up and went in to a hearty breakfast of pancakes, bacon and delicious coffee..
If you are passing by be sure to stop, if for nothing else than to see the 50000+ dollars in the saloon.
