Frozen Dead Guy Days

Every year since 2002, a weird festival in the takes place in the Rocky Mountain town of Nederland. Frozen Dead Guy Days is pretty much what it sounds like: a strange, macabre tribute to a cryogenically frozen dead dude. The festival, which once was an obscure inside joke for locals, has turned into a large party drawing people from across the country. Events include a polar plunge in the nearby reservoir, a hearse parade, and coffin races.

Some highlights of our trip to Ned this year: the street performances, coffin races, and friend Matt O Chainsaw participating in the chainsaw carving competition.
