That is pretty much what I have typed up in a word document. Except I had this under the Category Description: "Currently only 77 trees are known in the United States that have 50 pairs, with undetermined numbers in other countries." Also if there is any reason the tree was created under the category description as well. I feel it should be under oddities, just because it is kind of out-of-the ordinary. Groundspeak gets to decide the final place anyway. Thanks WizCreations! I'll make a few changes and try and get this in for officer review tonight. We can always add more variables if there becomes a search function for variables. Though I think we have it covered in the description. Dew Crew

Do you have a link to any info. on this? Some good ideas here. It makes it a lot easier for waymark creaters to get the required information down. Good idea on starting this topic!

Is this the cache? Bridge, No Bridge

All of the waymarks I've created in categories before they switched to group management say that I approved them...

We could just ask to say the things you pointed out in the description if possible. It would eliminate useless variables.

Ah, no. I'm not getting emails either!

Maybe a little! But my point was that the Fairy Hills Category didn't make it through peer review. Good. So it's not quite a slam dunk with peer review. No, not quite, but I think it's a pretty good shot.

20 is fine I don't understand why you want a theme though. Do you know of many that have a theme? I just can't grasp the concept of people applying a theme to a tree through the use of shoes... Different types of shoes. Jogging, boots, high heels, ect. Nearest street name?

I'm not saying the Fairy Hills Category wasn't or was a good idea. I only turned it down because I had no idea what they were after reading the description. I do hope they resubmit it.

Haha, that is really funny!

A lot of great ideas chstress. We still haven't heard from Hard Oiler, but I should have the description ready by tonight for officer review. Dew Crew

Thankyou very much! This will make things a lot easier!

I was thinking about putting a variable for approximate # of shoes, but I will still keep the theme one also. I do like DavidMac's variable as well. And I will change the 'placing waymarks' so that it is more obvious that you do need a picture of the tree. Thanks! Dew Crew P.S.- What about requirement for number of pairs?

Did the Fairy Hills category make it?

Hello, and welcome to the Shoe Trees group forum. If you're not a member of the group you can join here. This is the place to discuss the description of the category. Please leave any comments, and ideas here. Thanks again! Description i've worked on a little: Formal Name Shoe Trees Suggested Subcategory to Oddities Quick Description A place to record shoe trees. Category Description A shoe tree is just that, a tree that has been slung with many pairs of shoes, and is known to the locals as a ‘Shoe Tree’. There may be hundreds of shoes, or maybe only 20, but they all could be considered ‘art’ for lack of a better word. Currently only 77 trees are known in the United States that have at least 50 pairs, with undetermined numbers in other countries. Please understand that shoe trees are different from shoe tossing. Shoe tossing can be considered illegal, because of the damage to power lines. Posting New Waymark Roadside America currently has a database of shoe trees in the United State, but new waymarks do not have to be listed here. If you find one log it! There must be a minimum of 20 pairs of shoes on the tree. Please post a picture. Take note that roadsideamerica only lists those trees with 50 pairs, or more. Logging Requirements If possible, post a picture with you, and your personal item (GPSr, stuffed animal, ect…) or you! Describe if there has been any change to the tree and if you added any pairs yourself! Variables Tree Theme (if any) I don't really want to make a requirment on the number of pairs that the tree must have. Roadsideamerica currently only allows trees with at least 50 pairs. Maybe we should put ours at 20? Also, I will put a link to the list on roadsideamerica. Anymore variable ideas?

Hopefully by next weekend I'll have another 16! And I do still have the section to record, if you're willing.

Not, not yet. I'll work on the description today and this weekend.

Hey, I don't know that much about planes, and I've entered 11 out of the 24 displays so far.

Ooooo, that's a good one! I also like the railroad tours.

Great, I'll have to try that one!

Keweenaw Travel Bug Lodge: He made it too!

Well there is one for railroad tunnels, but I think it would be neat to see all the very cool railroad bridges... I'll try and think of some more things that have to do with railroads.

There's also nudecacher. I'm not posting the link here...

I still have a gorilla!
