Midpoint (Shoetree) Traditional Cache

This cache along US Highway 20 in mile 90 is at the midpoint of my route between Boise and Salem, Oregon. 

When I placed the cache, there was a tree full of shoes that was an obvious attraction in this relatively desolate area. I am not sure who cut all the limbs off the tree. Too bad, it was a neat break in the scenery here. There is a pair of boots someone has hung on a dead tree just west of the mile 88 marker. Maybe it will put on more footwear in the coming years. There is a tree beside Highway 50 between Grand Junction and Delta, Colorado (nearly the only tree visible) that is always decorated at Christmas. These trees reminded me of it. 

The cache is a plastic tube that is painted brown.  It is at the base of a wood post that has a split top to bottom and is close to a steel post about a 100 feet East of the de-limbed shoetree. You can probably find this without the GPSr if necessary. You may need your own writing stick if the one in it disappears again.
