I just drove by the orange building, and it's for sale.
[Molly, 01/22/2021]It's for sale. Just think, it can be yours.

For Sale with adjacent motel. Currently painted lemon yellow. According to the Real Estate agent who we met on-site the motel rooms were remodeled two years ago. Also love the T-Rex sculpture made from auto parts and horseshoes.
[NomadikCulture, 02/07/2018]A few days before the Labor Day, 2010 weekend, we stopped at the orange hut on 395 (closed) and then pulled in at Gus' jerky gas station. We asked the gentleman behind the counter if he was relocating to the orange hut up the road. He smiled, shook his head and said the orange hut was put up by the locals and "who knows what the heck they're up to!"
The orange hut is still a mystery, but at Gus's, make sure to try the "sweet and spicy" beef jerky. Excellent!

Have no idea what this structure is supposed to represent, but a local resident informed me that they intend to open a jerky shop here when construction is finished. Will this be the new Gus's (located in an old gas station three miles south) or a rival? Only time will tell.
The motel next store to this bulge had a giant ant on top of a small building. I do not know if there is a connection or not but with nobody to ask I simply shot a photo and moved on..
