The shoe fence has grown since I drove by it three years ago.

The shoe fence is operational!
[julia barbee, 08/14/2013]The shoe fence has accumulated castoff footwear for many years, probably because there are no trees in the desert to make a Shoe Tree. Wonder if there's such a thing as a Shoe Tumbleweed?
A soulful exhibit of footwear just east of the railroad tracks near Rice, California, on Hwy 63. The fence surrounds nothing in particular, but is covered in various shoes and accoutrements.
I've been passing by this fence in the Mojave National Preserve for many years now, and every time its collection seems to have grown. I think this fence may have taken the place of the shoe tree near Vidal Junction that burned down some years ago.

Some places have shoe trees, but what do you do when there isn't enough water to grow a tree? I suppose one solution is the shoe fence. This one is along the south side of a desolate section of CA-62 in the desert north of I-10.
