(Owens Valley) – – The former rip–roaring 1870s silver town – Cerro Gordo – is fighting to stay alive. Owner/caretaker Mike Patterson, seen here in front of the American Hotel on Main Street, who helped restore the ghost town in the 1980s, isn't well. Not sure what will happen to the privately owned ghost town. The American Hotel was built in 1871 and is the oldest hotel in California East of the Sierras. The town is located in Inyo County at an elevation of 8400 feet, in the Inyo Range, looking down on the Owens Valley near the little village of Keeler.
