Photographed at dusk with a zoom lens from a safe distance. The locals suggested this was probably a young male only recently venturing out on his own.
Breakfast, not exactly roughing it with a nice cooler full of goodies but it was pretty cold out before the sun comes up:
Close To The Edge (I'm not sure this could have qualified for a Darwin Award, I think I was pretty careful):
Stream Crossing:
