Links of London Bunny Pink Charm cottonwood--our cottonwood, our shoe tree--was a landmark on a highway celebrated as America's Loneliest Road. For the residents of Middlegate, it was a significant attraction. "Links of London Butterfly Charm are a lot of angry people," Travis Anderton told the Lahontan Valley News.
