Shoe Tree


At a local cache in Olney, the owner of said cache thought it would be a good idea to start a shoe tree. G and I decided to pay it a visit and contribute. We took 5 pairs of shoes. We was thinking we are going to hang a pair kinda in the middle and a few lower and a pair really high. Remembering the area ,we was wondering which of the nice trees in the area that was chosen for this honor. When we got to the area, we saw that the owner had decided to pick the tallest tree in 14 counties. We logged the cache that we had made a donation to the great tree idol and started tossen the shoes. Attempt 1- Not even close...Attempt 2- if the object was to get as close to a branch as possible and not touch the tree we would win...Attempt 3- Finally got a pair hung on the smallest branch possible...Attempt 4- Managed to knock another pair of shoes out of the tree...Attempt 5- Threw a pair so high in the middle of the tree it had to grab a limb, bounced off of every limb and finally stopped at the ground. Attempt 6- Nearly took G head off..Did I mention I suck and throwin shoes...Attempt 7- Ect and so on....After about 30 minutes of huffing and puffing and sore hands from the shoe strings burning from the effort of the shot put to the moon, we finally got all 5 pair hung. It looks pretty good ,but as we walked away G made the comment that he was gonna come back with a pair of hot pink shoes so it was more visible. Hillbillies really know how to have a good time. Next event peeing for distance. See who wins gold.
