His Hands Tour de Nederland

Last Saturday, my son-in-law hosted a really fun event to raise financial support for His Hands Christian Ministry. It involved a group driving there sports cars, jeeps, motorcycles from Denver to Nederland and back. Then we had excellent BBQ from Brad's Pitt BBQ! Great job Kent and thanks for the support of the ministry.

Above is a picture of me driving along the scenic highway to Nederland. Nederland is a small town that is famous for the "Frozen Dead Guy" festival. See http://www.legendsofamerica.com/CP-FrozenDeadGuy2.html for more information on Grandpa Bredo Morstoel. Morstoel died on November 6, 1989 while at the family’s mountain retreat in Norway and was immediately packed in ice before making the long trip to Los Angeles, California, where he was cryogenically prepped and frozen. Morstoel’s grandson, Trygve Bauge decided that his grandfather should have the opportunity of potential immorality and made the arrangements for his grandfather.

Bredo was kept at the Institute, while Trygve searched for a suitable place to store frozen bodies. Grandpa Morstoel remained at the California institute until 1993, when his body was packed in dry ice, shipped to Nederland, Colorado, and stored in a garden shed. (later a Denver radio station provided a Tough Shed as pictured above)

Really...I'm not making this stuff up. Anyway, it's a very beautiful drive to Nederland which is also home of Eldora Ski Resort.
