Hey C,

Here in Colorado, there are several "dead" parties. We have one in Manitou Springs, and it was this weekend, called the Emma Crawford Coffin Races. Emma Crawford moved out to Manitou Springs to recover from consumption. She died and in the a big rainstorm her coffin broke loose and came sailing down the mountain. Great fun, people dressed in all kinds of spooky garb. And teams get together to push a "coffin," with Emma in it down the hill. I wrote a blog about it. 

But, in Nederland, CO, they have a dead  miner, whose body they froze until the snow could melt and they could put him in the ground, only they forgot to do it, and one day he came sailing down the mountain in his coffin, boots on and all! I think the photo of the boots is part of that great story. LOL

C: You actually made me laugh out loud. You can store it away in one of the small little corners of your memory. You just never know when you'll need it.
