One man has been living the post-apocalyptic lifestyle in his own wasteland since early last year.
Brent Underwood, a young entrepreneur, bought the abandoned California ghost town of Cerro Gordo in 2018 for $1.4 million. Cerro Gordo was once known for mining silver and lead, and between 1865 and 1938 was the largest producer of the two before its resources dried up. Like most other mining towns around the world, it turned into yet another dead swathe of Western land.
In March 2020, when the coronavirus was still in its early stages, Underwood visited Cerro Gordo from his hometown of Austin, Texas, thinking of it as one week vacation and also to relieve the town s on-site caretaker, who wanted to visit his wife as the coronavirus hit the U.S., according to The Daily Mirror.
