The last time we featured Brent Underwood on RTM, he'd spent his life savings on a ghost town in California called Cerro Gordo. Unfortunately, we have some heartbreaking news to share: the historic American Hotel in Cerro Gordo burnt down. The exact cause of the fire is unknown, and now Brent is moving on from this disaster with plans to rebuild the hotel.

You can keep up with Brent's ghost town project on his YouTube and Instagram, or donate to his GoFundMe.
