Hello all, Liz here from the sunny rocky mountains in Colorado. I just heard about this crazy little town here called "Nederland." Apparently in 1989 a man and his mother came here from Norway. They brought their dead grandfather/father's body with and continued to freeze it on dry ice until 1993 when the young man was deported. His mother then had to keep adding dry ice to her father's dead body in the shed in their backyard. She was evicted a few years later for not having electricity or running water. She told the authorities that she was worried that leaving the house would result in her father thawing out. Since then the man has been moved to a tuff shed with real cryogenics. You can still go and take tours of this shed and they even have a yearly festival called "Frozen Dead Guy Days" every March. They break through the ice and go swimming, they have parades and costume contests and a ball named "Grandpa's Blue Ball." I am trying to convince my family to check this town out because it sounds hilariously awesome and I want to see a frozen dead guy.
Anyone free in March?
