Lock-Ness, Missoula, Montana

There seems to be obscure tradition behind the re-appearing lock décor on the University of Montana
footbridge over the Clark Fork River. Perhaps it’s a symbolic right of passage when the lock is no longer needed for school. Maybe there’s even a little ritualistic chanting involved, along the lines of, No more pencils, no more books.”. Hmmm…what would be the 2014 two-syllable academic equivalent of “pencils”?However, after a quick on-line search, I’m guessing these are actually love locks; read more about one version
here.

    1. Why, always glad to share oddities! I was glad to learn it's a tender heart-centered ritual.
