YOUTUBE VIDEO Jim Bishop’s homemade castle is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Over 53 years, Bishops castle was built rock by rock, with the help of a pickup truck, Jim Bishop, a welder by trade, built this 165 ft tall castle in the wilds of Colorado in the summer months. In this video, we meet Jim Bishop and his son Daniel, with Daniel giving us the ultimate tour. This is one of the most comprehensive looks at Bishop’s castle ever filmed. When I heard there was a secret country inside of the USA, I knew I had to check things out. After looking at the website and the few articles available online, I was excited but skeptical. The website made things look quite legitimate, with possibilities to purchase Passports and everything, but a talk with the “Sultan” brought me some doubts. Arriving to the location of Slowjamastan, I was surprised to see the infrastructure. There is a border fence, border crossing booth, pay phone, “welcome to” signs and even an independence square. The strangest part is that it is all just sitting out in the desert. Slowjamastan is not actually a country, as it is claimed, but I do think it is a fun project. Whatever the intention is to this place, I am not sure, so I will leave that up to you to decide.
