Music of Cerro Gordo

The music of Cerro Gordo has been a favorite of mine ever since I began watching the videos. Sometimes haunting, and upbeat in other videos, they are always easy listening.

A bit of Cerro Gordo History

Brent Underwood spent $1.4 million to purchase Cerro Gordo, a ghost town in California’s Inyo Mountains, recently got stranded on the remote 360-acre property.

Founded in 1865, Cerro Gordo — Spanish for “fat hill” — was an infamous boomtown for silver and lead miners looking for the metals deep under the desert near Death Valley. In 1938, the last inhabitants packed up and left the depleted mines behind.
