To pass the time, and with limited cell and internet service, Mr. Underwood developed more rustic hobbies. He took up animal tracking, monitoring the activity of a bobcat who appeared to visit his porch nightly, leaving paw prints in fresh powder. He melted snow for potable water. He explored the silver mine tunnels for which the town is famous and found graffiti scrawled into the wall from 1938.He has also continued to work on repairs. At its most populated, over 4,500 residents lived in Cerro Gordo, but only 22 original structures remain. Two historic homes known as the Mortimer Belshaw and Louis D. Gordon mansions, named after the oil barons who bought out Mexican prospectors in the 1870s had been converted to modest bed-and-breakfasts by the former owners. Mr. Underwood toggles between both properties, both as resident and renovator.Out of fear and respect (and social distancing), the few places Mr. Underwood has avoided are the cemetery and the bunk house, which he reports is haunted. (The longer Im here the more things happen to me that I cant explain, Mr. Underwood said in May. I was a firm nonbeliever prior to purchasing the property.)During the gold and silver rushes of the late 19th century, living in isolation was par for the course, an inevitable cost of the frontier dream.

(It continues to be of endless fascination today: A Reddit forum where Mr. Underwood described the idiosyncrasies of his stay went viral in April, perhaps fueled by many peoples collective boredom or weariness with stay-at-home directives.)
