Frozen Dead Guy Days

What's Frozen Dead Guy Days without a parade?


Team Frozen Elvises (Elivs'? Elvi?)


Crowd gathering for coffin races. 8500 feet up the mountain, snowing; at home in Denver, 50 and sunny. Go figure.


Coffin Race. Kind of hard to see, but teams of seven (6 pallbearers and 1 dead person in the coffin) go under a barricade, around the see-saws, stop at the slide where the dead person climbs to the top and slides down while the pallbearers do a Chinese Fire Drill around the coffin, then around the swings, up and over the rock pile (covered in mud and snow) to the finish line. Hilarious. Next year we're totally signing up!



Don't mind the big dead tree...the photographer had had a few Fat Tires by then...


Ack! Frozen Dead Guy! Oh, wait, that's just Mark...


We're not freezing our asses off...really!!

I need a little fun in my life... I'm hoping that since the temperature is increasing, the fun part will too...
