One of the best places to experience utter tranquility is Casper Mountain, and on Saturday the sounds of fall were upon us. Birds were singing, the wind was rustling leaves, and humans were screaming for their lives. That’s because on this day,  Casper Mountain was overrun with terrifying flesh-eating Zombies, all in the name of charity.

Kellan Grogan was born with numerous health difficulties, so much so that he and his mother Sommer had to be life-lighted to Denver to deal with those issues. Kellan is fine now. He's a smiling, laughing, intelligent little boy with the light of the world in his eyes. Unfortunately, the costs that were built up were enormous, and the Grogan family wasn't quite sure how everything would be paid.
