ππ² Triple Whammy: Unidentifiable Mummies Unearthed in Colorado Wilderness! π±π
TL;DR: Three ‘extra-crispy’ individuals, being long-term residents of the Great Beyond, have been stumbled upon in a secluded Colorado campground. The unsettling find was made by a hiker in Gold Creek Campground, about 150 miles south of Aspen. We’ve got more questions than answers at this point, as authorities are scratching their heads over the whos, whys, and how-longs. Autopsy results are pending, but no spoilers, it might take a while considering the state these folks were found in. π΅οΈββοΈππ
While you’re hiking along, maybe soaking in the great outdoors, savoring that sweet wild air, whatβs the last thing you’d expect to come across? Maybe a dancing bear? An Elvis sighting? Well, how about a trio of ‘very well aged’ bodies at a remote campsite?
Thatβs right folks! Some hiker was out minding their own business this past Monday in the Gold Creek Campground, a hop, skip, and a jump (or 150 miles if you’re not into hopping, skipping, or jumping) south of Aspen. There, amidst the lush wilderness, our intrepid explorer discovered a secluded campsite housing a guest who, let’s just say, was having a permanent lie-down. ποΈπ
Gunnison County Undersheriff Josh Ashe, who likely didn’t anticipate this macabre mystery on his Monday to-do list, had this to say, βAt approximately 8:02 AM, our investigators located the campsite and discovered two additional… letβs call them βlong-term sleepersβ.” Seems like it wasnβt just a lone ranger who decided to stick around. Now, weβve got a regular, albeit slightly eerie, slumber party happening! ππ»
Now, if you’re asking how long theyβve been playing Sleeping Beauty in the woods, well, your guess is as good as ours. The authorities did mention that these campers had clocked in some serious dead-time. So serious in fact, the actual cause of their eternal siesta isn’t immediately clear. Yes, you heard it, an autopsy is being conducted, but due to the ‘well-done’ state of the bodies, it might take longer than your average episode of CSI. β³π¬
Oh, and before you start canceling your wilderness getaways, Ashe wants to assure you that there’s no reason to fear some sort of “Camping Chainsaw Massacre”. He went on record saying, βThere are no known risks to residents or outdoor enthusiasts recreating in the area associated with this unfortunate event.” Comforting, right? ποΈπ
But letβs address the elephant in the room. Just who are these posthumous campers? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, my friends. Police haven’t released any specifics about the dearly departed, and for now, they remain anonymous mummies of the Colorado wilderness. π€·ββοΈπ€«
So, as we wrap up this unexpected tale of Coloradoβs very own ‘The Walking Dead: Campsite Edition’, let’s leave you with this:
How would you feel stumbling upon a mystery like this on your leisurely hike? And while we’re mulling over the unanswerable, who do you think these forever-campers might be? Let’s get those imagination gears turning, folks! π§π§©π
