Given the current population, I believe that would be called suicide and I absolutely do not want that. Robert is the best thing about the place

Basically.

$1.4MM

The town's one resident is named Robert. Robert originally came to the town 21 years ago to mine the town. He read about it in a mining trade magazine.

When he arrived the former owner was sick so he adopted more of a caretaker role. So for the past 21 years he has lived on the mountain, protecting the town from the elements (and any potential looters).

The first day I asked Robert if he was ever scared of living up there. He said no, he always had his two friends, Smith and Wesson, with him....

$1.4M. I put essentially my life savings into it, convinced a lot of other people to put in, and took short term loans in order to close.
