A few years ago I saw in a magazine a very unique family project. The family had a walking trail behind their cottage that they had made and cleared by themselves. I wish I could remember more of the story, but I just loved their idea. They found a large tree near the beginning of the trail and each year they would attach a pair of shoes.
I thought the idea was so cool I just had to steal it!
We too have a trail that leads from the back of our property, up a hill to a 2km winding trail. It was perfect for walking until last summer when we had intense, damaging winds that felled several h-u-g-e trees right across the trail in several places. We can still use the trail, but we have to either go around, under or over the trees.
We've had our camp for almost 4 years, so this fall we will be adding one more pair of shoes!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am making a sign post and one of the signs will lead to our "Shoe Tree Trail".
