"The setting sun we've turned out way/The 14th Big Hike ending/On Memory's walls its beauteous scenes/Are placed for time unending/'Go ye therefore to the highways'/The Black Hawk Hikers count the days/When once again their camp-fire blazes/In God's great open country" - hikers holding hands in circle - Big Hike, 1933
