the adventure club

we get our gas at maverick because it's cheaper and is conveniently located by our house. and with our adventure club card it's an additional 2 cents cheaper, talk about a bargain. now we go to maverick for another reason- the adventure.

last sunday we were making the weekly trek up to alpine for dinner at the lawlers, but we had no gas. we were forced to stop at maverick. enter shady blue truck with ridiculous bumper stickers i.e. a skull, a picture of a pit bull and the caption "if ain't a pit, it ain't s*%#" classy, yes. blue truck pulls up next to brown beat up truck. (see image below taken covertly from my cell phone) exit shady individual out of brown truck, commence exchange through window of blue truck, exit brown truck.



now we turn our attention to the store: a shady hooded kid walks out of the store and approaches a dude smoking a cigarette leaning against the wall- classic i know. kid gives dude some money, dude puts out cigarette and enters store as kid waits inside a parked minivan. jamey and i speculate that the purpose of this exchange is for the illicit purchase of beer. we have now been witness to two shady exchanges and the gas tank is still not full. at this point the guy from the blue truck gets out of his truck and enters the store and a new car pulls into the parking spot next to the blue truck. he is followed by a police car who doesn't bother pulling into a space because he needs to create a scene and then puts on his lights. awesome. i snap another covert photo...



of course fear has been struck into the heart of the kid waiting for beer in his mini van so he goes in to presumably call off the set up (remember these two aren't the greatest at keeping things on the down low) and our gas tank is full. we leave the adventure club: two illicit exchanges may or may not have occured in our brief stay, but at least some other jerk got stuck with a moving violation by the provo pd and i feel safer. may i recommend that you all go visit maverick and discover for yourselves the true meaning of the "adventure club" and while you're there go ahead and save 2 cents per gallon for being a member.
