Is this a thing?

Each of these Gulf Oil shacks has a boat parked next to it. I was poking around in the archive o’ photos the other night when I noticed this. I think I need to set out across the state (or even the country?) researching this to see if it IS a thing.

Both boats appear to have telephone poles sprouting out of them. What’s with that?

And on a sad note, the building in Slaton has been torn down.
