Geocache Description:

These Shoes Were Made For Walking!

This has got to be the saddest shoe-tree I have ever seen.


I've been driving by this old shoe-tree for about 20 years now and even back then it looked old and neglected. I am not really too sure of the history of this tree nor do I know what the meaning of a shoe-tree really is. If anyone knows the history and meanings of shoe-tree's I'd love to hear about it. Especially if anybody knows the history of this particular tree.

The tree is right beside the road so it is perfect for a quick drive by, but be prepared, this might be anything but quick! The cache is a small lock & lock container and can hold small items. I will tell you right now that the cache is inside some form of footware. (EWWWW, YUCK) If touching old footware that has been hanging on a tree for 20 plus years is a problem for you, then I might suggest you bring a pair of gloves. I warned you.

Attached to the cache I have installed a black cable tie that is suppost to act as a handle so you can simply pull the cache out of it's hiding place. Find this handle and give it a pull. This is how you will find the cache.

You'd be surprised how busy this stretch of road can be. You'll see anything from vehicles to farmers driving tractors to people dog walking to joggers and people simply walking down the street. My advice, keep smiling and pretend you LOVE SHOES!

This tree is located close to a farmers field access. Please be respectfull and watch out for possible farm machinery, especially during planting and harvesting. .

Congratulations Hooligansx2 on a very well deserved yet Stinky FTF!
