The Tree of Abandon Shoes







Yesterday I had two deliveries in Platina and on the way back I couldn't resist taking a couple more pictures of the Tree of Abandon Shoes. As you may recall from a previous post, this old Oak tree stands beside Highway 36 West between Red Bluff and Platina. What was missing from the tree, and to my surprise, was a pair of my own shoes (see third photo) that I hung there a month before. I would say that pair of shoes was my favorite as they have been around a long time and I walked in them all over southern Ireland when my wife and I visited her relatives there in 2005. Oh, well, someone is enjoying those shoes and I wonder where they are walking right now. (Just click on the pictures for larger views).
