The Old Shoe Tree

The Old Shoe TreeOn a highway in Nevada, there is a cottonwood tree standing all alone but it doesn’t look like any old cottonwood, this one is covered in shoes.

The story of the tree; Apparently a young couple camped at the site of the tree on their wedding night and had a disagreement.  The wife threatened to walk away but her new husband said,

“If you do, you’ll have to walk barefoot.”

He threw her shoes into the tree, got into his car and drove to the nearest bar.  The bartender convinced him to return to his wife.

A year later, the couple returned with their new baby and threw his first shoes up into the tree.  Since that day many people have gone to the tree to throw their own shoes onto the branches.
