Hard to imagine what motivates some people--
Some years back, on a New Year's Eve, vandals cut down the original Shoe Tree on US 50 in Nevada. They were never caught.

Altho the article states that the tree is "permanently closed", a nearby cottonwood has been pressed in as a substitute.

A wonderful view of this tree sadly I never saw it. If anyone is convicted I think the stocks would be an appropriate punishment !! did it have a TPO I've not seen it mentioned

Hi Sara
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, and such an amazing display, the likes of which I have never seen before.
As to the perpetrators, is there not a saying of do unto them as they have done unto you? OK, so where is the chainsaw....!!
Certainly a long time in the slammer is called for!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

An absolutely beautiful picture! What would motivate anyone to cut down such a lovely tree?
