More information:

Shoe garden, Rice, California. Rice became noted for its Rice Shoe Tree, a lone tamarisk on a turnout just south of highway CA 62. For reasons unknown, it became customary for travelers on Highway 62 (also known as Rice Road) to and from the Colorado River to hang an old shoe on the tree's branches. The tree burned to the ground in 2003 in a fire of suspicious origin, after which a 'shoe garden' replaced it; a fence on which people hang shoes instead. Travelers still stop to hang shoes on the fence allowing the accumulation to grow year by year.
