Default High Plains Drifter: Colorado Marshal Can't Adjust to High Altitude

Colorado Marshal Can't Adjust to High Altitude

NEDERLAND, Colo. — Aug 25, 2014, 12:54 PM ET

Nederland, Colorado's town marshal says he is resigning after just six months because he can't adjust to the altitude.

The Daily Camera reports Monday that Jim Matheney wanted to dispel rumors, including one claiming he left the job in the quirky town just west of Boulder because of a space alien attack.

Matheney, a former police captain in suburban Detroit, says he left because he could not acclimate to the 8,400-foot altitude.

Paul Carrill, a former Kansas City, Missouri, sheriff's commander, is interim marshal.

The town, which has five officers and a sergeant, is also known for its Frozen Dead Guy Days festival, celebrating the corpse of a man who hoped to one day be revived.

7000 feet here. it takes about a week to adjust.

i'd guess he just doesn't like the small town aspect.

I've known a few people who had issues. Sad.

When I was a kid, we took the ride to the summit of Pike's Peak in Colorado. It hit me hard. I never felt so sick in my life. Wouldn't wish that feeling on anybody.

I live near sea level but never a problem with the mountains. Not even an ear pop. I'd love to live up in the mountains some day.
