This impressive cottonwood
tree is located about two miles east of the town of Middlegate
on US Highway 50 ("The Loneliest Highway in America")
in Nevada. Its location is also notable in that it stands
on the Pony Express Trail on the banks of Rock Creek in the
Clan Alpine Mountains. We haven't been able to pin down excatly
when it began receiving shoe offerings -- our earliest photo
documentation was provided by Mark
Helmlinger in the summer of 2003. The pictures on this
page were taken in July, 2005.
