Description

E. P. Costello is relocating the Costello Ranch to Palo Pinto County despite years of history in Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas. His 233-acre island was covered by the lake waters when the Possum Kingdom Dam was built, making it difficult to continue his business. A tractor and trailer were used to furnish transportation from the barge to the home on the island for visitors and supplies. A group of people are shown climbing off the barge and onto the trailer.
