TR: I Still Believe (in Winter in the Sierra) 5/23/2010

Date: Mayuary 23, 2010

I Still Believe: May 23, 2010
I been in a cave for forty days
Only a spark to light my way
I wanna give out, I wanna give in
This is our crime, this is our sin
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the pain and through the grief
Through the lives through the storms
Through the cries and through the wars
Oh I still believe
Flat on my back out at sea
Hopin these waves don't cover me
I'm turned and tossed upon the waves
When the darkness comes I feel the grave
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold and through the heat
Through the rain and through the tears
Through the crowds and through the cheers
Oh, I still believe
I'll march this road I'll climb this hill
Upon my knees if I have to
I'll take my place upon this stage
I'll wait til the end of time for you like everybody else

I'm out on my own walkin the streets
Look at the faces that I meet
I feel like I want to go home
What do I feel what do I know
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
and through the grief
Through the heartache
Though the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years
For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get
Oh I still believe

In any case, if you're ever really in this situation make sure you at least bargain in a couple of fluffers.

That was kind of hilarious at the start, then just grew to awesome. Great photos, thanks.
(just remember to let the i's break trail before the e's, except after certain conditions)

Thanks guys, I had so many photos and flickr only resizes to 1024 or 500, wish they had an 800 or 900 option. 500 scrolls a lot better than 1024... Quote up which ones you like and I'll repost them bigger.

Nice TR and conditions. Great pics as well - I agree I like the larger size.
P.S. - Dookey invest in a lighter setup and loose the hardshells for touring. My 2 cents.
