Weird But True Animal Stories
Frozen Cows In A Cabin
In the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, authorities were contemplating the use of explosives to dislodge a herd of cows that apparently wandered into an old ranger cabin at 11,000 and got stuck there. They died and froze solid, creating a giantblock of frozen cows. The carcasses were discovered in late march by a pair of Air Force Academy cadets that were snow shoeing. It appears the animals had sought the cabin out as shelter during a snow storm and then could not get out. The cabinis near Conundrum Hot Spring, a nine mile hike from the Aspen area.
