I always figured people did it just for the fun of trying to hook them like a skill game... I never put any more meaning to it than that.

That’s what I’m talking about! We can always count on you Red. I had no idea about the pantie tree history. First one I saw actually was in Vail. I always thought it had something to do with the young women you’d see skiing in bikinis or bikini tops. Cultural/ski bum sorta thing. We always do spring skiing in April. Or used to.

“sweet lord .... used to be a custom on the last day of school to throw your old gym shoes over the wires. that’s all. nothing more, nothing less.”

I remember kids doing this in the ‘60s. Getting rid of the stinky old things.
