I'll meet you at the Underwear Tree

Undocumented migrants have developed common names for landmarks they encounter on their treks north through Mexico and across the U.S. border, naming things like the Underwear Tree, the Tree of the Virgin, and the Valley of the Lost. U.S. Border Patrol agents have their own names for spots on this side, often named after fellow agents. Arnie's Point, for example, is a hilltop where an agent named Arnie got shot in the butt.

I wonder if the Neverland Ranch has an Underwear Tree.
