Interesting post. I occasionally encounter signs of violent death while hiking in the woods. Where I live it is usually most obvious and dramatic during the winter, and usually caused by coyotes. Thankfully none of the remains I have discovered were human. The chaotic scenes left by our local coyote population is usually pretty shocking, even if you’ve seen it before. It’s a reminder that nature is both beautiful and brutal. Fortunately it’s usually pretty easy to avoid this kind of encounter; I am usually way off-piste when I stumble across them.

Sobering stories and photos. There is a beautiful stillness in the desert. Thanks for reminding me how much I miss it.
