A Symbol of Hope and Inspiration on California’s Route 36
Not only does California’s Route 36 boast beautiful riding and the world’s greatest road sign – it does so much more. It’s undulating roadway oozes hope from it’s very blacktop.
What the hell am I talking about?
Well, darlings, I’m so glad you asked.
Near Cottonwood, California where a dumpy, tan port-o-potty once stood – hope has sprung eternal in the form of… a shoe tree.
Has there ever been a more poignant testament to the idea that you can rise up out of whatever shit you’ve come from to become something great?
No. No, I don’t think so.
From pee to shoe tree. From pooh to shoe. You too can become a butterfly; a phoenix, even! Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

- What is a shoe tree and where can they be found? You must consult the Roadside America oracle for such things.
Let me know ASAP if you run across a money tree. But don’t post it here, send me an email and keep it just between us.
You got it, T. 😆
The chance to be something bigger, better than you are now…only you could come up with something that inspirational from what used to be a port o potty….LMAO
YOU are the inspiration incase you didn’t know that….oh and that money tree….share that with me too K…
Makes me wonder what would posses someone to toss shoes into a tree. Pretty cool though. BTW I’d like to know if you find the money tree too, hmmm I think I am going to go plant a loonie (CDN $1 coin) in the backyard & see what grows.
Hmm, looks like i’m going to have to download an exchange rate app for my iphone to handle yours and BDB’s portion of the money tree when I find it 🙂
