We'd heard about it from a friend and co-worker, Laurie, who first told me about the famous tree, near Laughlin, that was decorated with women's undergarments, namely panties and bras. That was news to me, and sounded so bizarre, that I had to look this thing up, find it, and photograph it. Laurie told me she'd seen it, during a visit to her brother who lives in nearby Bullhead City, Arizona a few years ago, and that the "panty tree" was located at the top of Christmas Tree Pass, a few miles west of Laughlin.
Photo: This pathetic little sagebrush bush was all that we could find, along with the greasewood bush in the background decorated with Christmas ornaments. We thought we were chasing the Flying Dutchman! Naturally, if I want to look at women's underwear, there are many places on the web where I can go, and beyond, or for that matter, just pick up a copy of the daily paper or visit any clothing store. But the thought of seeing a piņon pine decorated with bras and panties sounded so weird and bizarre, that we just had to find it, photograph it, and post a write-up on this Web Site.
Photo: December 4, 2009, Lonnie and Kim paid a nocturnal visit to Christmas Tree Pass and not only snapped a few photos, but were kind enough to email them to me, and to grant me permission to publish them on this Web Site. Lonnie told me that the date on his camera was a bit off... We asked the friendly desk clerk at the Pioneer Hotel about the famous tree, and he confirmed our suspicion that it, indeed, was alive and well, at the top of Christmas Tree Pass. He even gave us directions: Travel west on Nevada Route 63 about 10 miles, turn north on the dirt, but graded Christmas Tree Pass Road that is clearly signed, near the top of a small grade. It sounded good to us...
Photo: Bras, panties, and even a garland or two decorate this otherwise nondescript pinyon pine tree, at the top of Christmas Tree Pass. We arrived at Christmas Tree Pass, but all we could find were a few sagebrush bushes, pathetically decorated. It became painfully aware to us that crazy, green, tree-hugging environmentalists, or perhaps an overly-zealous ranger had taken it upon themselves to remove the unique decorations from this otherwise prosaic piņon pine tree. Well, this is in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and I suppose that some folks refuse to believe that bras and panties actually grow on trees... But why would anybody remove the lovely decorations? Do women's undergarments offend their sense of decency? Aren't panties "natural" enough? If that's the case, I really feel for these upstanding citizens when they visit any shopping mall... A perverted thought just came to me: Whoever removed the bras and panties from the tree probably is not a fan of sexy underwear, and they probably are a nudist, and like their women, and their pine trees, au natural.
Photo: Yes, women's underwear really does grow on trees, along with a long, tall can of "Colorado Kool-Aid." Must be something in the mountain soil that allows this unique crop of fruit to grow... Fast forward to December, 2009, when I received an email from fans of this Web Site, Lonnie and Kim, who had paid a visit to Christmas Tree Pass, and found the tree to be decorated with bras and panties, garlands, and even a beer can! Yes!!!!! The famous Underwear Tree is alive and well, and living at the top of Christmas Tree Pass, where is belongs! Lonnie and Kim were kind enough to take photos of the tree, and email the photos to me, and grant me permission to use them on this Web Site. Thanks friends! So the Christmas Tree Pass Underwear Tree is no a figment of imagination, as it's alive and well, and a testament to, what else... American Graffiti! Copyright(c) 2009 eRench Productions, Inc.
