    I’m older than you, and a native, as well as a native of Colo. You need to quit posting fables you know nothing about!

    I’ve read about this story as well, there’s no way it is N of that camp if they ended up going east of that mountain range through the wet mountain valley. In the mountains southeast of crestone would be my guess.

    There aren’t any mountains 2 miles North of Dead man’s camp.

    I have read a couple other versions of this story, and find it interesting. This version has details that were not in the others, and I doubt the authenticity of. These 3 men would not have been likely to give out information to help others find what they wanted to keep. Also, I have been in the area a bit, and north of dead mans camp is flat desert. In what I consider to be a more realistic version, they were starting to go over a pass to Westcliff/Silvercliff when the blizzard hit. This would have put them in terrain more likely to have a cave such as is described here.

    This sounds similar to the music pass story of a Spanish mine with smelted gold and skeletons
