The song about Rob<\/a>\u2019s week-long scout camp out with me at the El Rancho Cima scout camp near San Marcos, Texas was the first of the ~20 Boy Scout and other camp out ballads I wrote. I think it captures the freedom felt by boys growing up in \u201csuburban ghettos\u201d as they \u201clearn to be un-haltered.\u201d At a place where they can go \u201cswimming in the river like salmon going home,\u201d experience \u201cpulling out a sliver,\u201d have \u201cpillow fights just for fun,\u201d and feel the fear of \u201cthunderstorms and lightning fire.\u201d There was \u201can ancient oyster bed,\u201d just like is up Fiddler\u2019s Canyon or over by Milt\u2019s in Cedar Canyon. I do enjoy teaching kids about geology. At El Rancho Cima the Austin Limestone outcrops and running water creates giant carsts or cavern sized holes in the formation. One of these is called \u201cthe toilet bowl,\u201d where we hiked to and had fun doing campfire skits. One of the values of these songs (ballads) to me is they help me remember and to see in my mind, as if I was still there, experiences from the past, including when we \u201cfind a scorpion\u201d or all of the \u201cdirty socks.\u201d And these experiences remind me \u201clife keeps going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
