Fence of Boots

I traveled on highway 49, through Cool, California, out of Auburn to Placerville. Just before reaching Placerville, on the left side of the road is a western ranch, where the owner obviously likes cowboy boots. On every fence post for perhaps a quarter mile and up the driveway, there are boots of every size and description. Big ones, baby ones and different colored ones, and very old, or worn. They probably stay through all seasons, as I have seen them several times before. The owner must have been collecting them for years.
