"O hiker friends, we sing to you/Of God's great open country/Of gypsy life and sun and rain/Mid scenes of wondrous beauty/The Mount'n view; The ocean wide/The winding trail; the stars our guide/O hiker friends we sing to you/Of life in God's own country." - women in swimsuits on beach - Big Hike, 1933
