Cycle of a Shoe Tree
We've been monitoring
the evolution of this tamarisk tree, which
stands on the edge of a dry wash near Amboy
ghost town on historic Route 66, since September
2006. The tree has suffered some setbacks
over the last few years, but somehow -- like
the road it graces -- it lives on and even
manages to flourish.
