About four summers ago, we found this neat old tree down by Kory's house just off the side of the road. The tree was already covered in dozens of shoes which have been nailed to it, and at first we found it rather spooky. There are tons of rubber boots, children's sneakers, and adult sized shoes lining almost the entire tree, even up to a height that seems near impossible to reach as there are no branches to climb up on and to get a ladder into that little nook of the forest seems difficult indeed (it's also passed an awkward ditch by the road grown in with foliage - the only way to the tree is to climb up onto a big rock). But we went home to grab a hammer and nail, an old pair of shoes, signed our names into the soles, and went straight back. We went over to visit it the other week and sure enough, our shoes were still hangin' in there!
