[Denver Post] The shocking tale of survival on Larimer County's Horsetooth Mountain quickly spread far beyond Colorado, with news of Monday's attack prompting media calls from around the world, as well as suggestions of film and book deals, and even marriage proposals, Ferrell said. Gov. Jared Polis chimed in too, posting on his Facebook page: "Don't mess with Colorado trail runners."
