Coffin races, part of the Frozen Dead Guy Days celebration in Nederland, CO. Morbid, bizarre, and a lot of fun!
It started to snow heavily just as the races got underway
Team America, the eventual winners of the races. Derka derka!
One of the most creatively named teams: "Barbie can't get pregnant -- Ken comes in a different box" Get it? hehe
This unfortunate team had a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly of their coffin mid-race
Same team, carrying their "dead guy" to the finish line on the remains of their coffin.
Two video clips of the races' finale.
According to the sign, this scary contraption was used to help dig the Panama Canal. Impressively, it still works.
