The story of the Shoe Tree in Lassen County California is an interesting one. Located on highway 395 just north of junction 70, the shoe tree has
attracted shoe tossers for decades. 4 years ago, the government decided they wanted to ban people from hanging shoes from a public tree.
They removed all the shoes and posted signs and warned of a fine.
Less than a year later, the sign was stolen and the infamous Shoe Tree
blossomed even more shoes than ever before.
The citizens have spoken, too bad the gov. didn't ask us first.
