GUEST,Chan Bartlett Lyr Req: I ride to the canyon wall (camp song) (10) RE: Lyr Req: I ride to the canyon wall (camp song) 16 Jul 17


Hello, Pat and Other Friends:    I have Henderson Camp history too: My parents knew the Hendersons, probably from the Unitarian/Universalist community in Seattle in the 1940s. (Another person in that network was the famous architect Paul Kirk, who, I believe, designed some structures at the camp, including the lodge/dining hall). Later my sisters and I attended the camp as campers or worked as staff, from the Henderson through the Nor'wester years.

As per Pat's initial posting above, recently I recalled and wanted to track down this song. I haven't had much luck, but am delighted to find what is written here.

As I recall, the song had two sections, one faster and one slower. This may be why "the new lines don't fit the tune I have..."

There was, by the way, a camp song book. I was too young to take the initiative of buying one, but presumably there are copies somewhere,
and maybe this song is in it.

Best regards,
Chan Bartlett
