Exploring The Town
Underwood discovers something different nearly every single day. A bible from 1875, a psalm booklet dedicated to a student in 1841, and a briefcase in an old general store have all been found so far. “The briefcase just had everything about these miners’ lives — their highs, their lows, their bank statements, their divorce settlements, lawsuits, mining claims, love letters, hate letters,” Underwood said.

Picking Up A New Hobby
To pass the time and entertain himself, Underwood started to pick up a new hobby. Astrophotography. “I’ve never done it in my life, but out here we don’t have any neighbors for 20 miles, so there’s no real light pollution. I was able to break out the camera and try to learn how to take photos of the stars.” Underwood said.
