At least it seems that this one ended himself before he could harm others. If this is true, then he had a conscious and I feel compassion.

Big snow in the CO mountains this weekend.

Jim Bridger or William Sublette this guy wasnt.
It looks like he couldnt role-play Alferd Packer, either.

Given there was a blizzard here & absolutely nobody was going to be there ....
Just weird. There has to be more to this.
