At a bend in the river where the gravel formed terraced banks up to ten feet high, something sticking out of the gravel. Something with antlers. Something very dead. The head, neck, and shoulders of an elk, partly mummified and mostly skeletal, perfectly upright. Probably the creepiest thing I've ever seen.
Pic? everyone's talking about some pretty cool stuff, maybe my favorite thread, but we haven't gotten too many pictures of these things lately.
