1/24/2006: Shoe tree

jstbuch · 01-24-2006, 06:07 PM

there is one between San Diego and Laughlin, NV. When I first turned 21 (5 years ago) my friends and I road tripped from SD to Laughlin. About 30 beers into the trip we saw the tree and decided it would be fun to add our shoes to it. Of course, they were the only shoes we brought with us. Laughlin... in the summer... no shoes... drunk off our asses... not cool.

cool! saw this just the other day on tv...'twas this very tree too! Apparently this particular tree is simply a 'wishing well' couples tie 1 shoe each together and lob em up for good luck in their relationship ... singles do it themsesles ...apparently

the ditch behind the tree is full of old shoes that have missed and fallen over time. Cant remember where it was though other than to say it was in the good old US of A
