ASPEN, COLO. (AP) -- Federal forest officials are still trying to decide the best way to dispose of a bunch of frozen cows stuck inside a cabin at 11,000 feet.
U.S. Forest Service spokesman Bill Kight said Monday the agency is leaning toward burning the cabin and removing the carcasses, but they also considered using explosives to get rid of the cabin and the cows.
Kight says he expects a decision by the end of the week. There are six cows frozen inside the cabin and four or five buried in the snow outside the cabin.
Rangers believe the cows wandered into the cabin near the popular Conundrum Hot Springs during a snowstorm but couldn't find their way out. Air Force Academy cadets found their frozen carcasses while snowshoeing in late March.
