I just read and loved Beartooth by Callan Wink. Two brothers in a tough spot get drawn into poaching natural resources from Yellowstone and rafting them out.

A couple of years ago, I ran into a guy renting sandboards at Great Sand Dunes National Park and realized we had the exact same tattoo of a melting skull popsicle. We took a photo together, but it doesn't look like I have it on my phone. Sand dune modeling photo to share instead. #ParkChat
