2.5 Years Living In An Abandoned Ghost Town!

this is such an amazing peak into history! congrats on 2.5 years of adventure 🤩

Let’s go can’t believe it has already been 2.5 years I started watching b4 my son was born he’s 19 months now he watches all of your videos with me I can’t wait to be able to take my family down there much love from Rhode Island 🤘🏻❤️

Film contests, 7-mile race, tours, search and rescue hub, etc. You’re becoming a marketing pro! Exactly what’s needed to pump life into Cerro Gordo. From silver ore to red-headed entrepreneur. Cerro Gordo lives again!

Brent, well into my 8th decade, dealing with the physical limitations that accompany longevity, your videos keep a spirit of adventure alive
in me. Many thanks.

Hey Brent! I'm not sure if you know/noticed, but at 23:14 you can see the Greek letter Omega imprinted on the walls. You are 100% on the right track towards the Omega tunnel, if not already in it so keep going. This is very exciting!

I bought 40 acres four years ago at 4,000' on the U.S./CA border in north central WA, near the town of Molson (Molson Beer). Molson was a gold mining and timber town. Hiking around the property, I came across a gold mine shaft. I contacted the previous owners about it, and they had no idea it was there. It is completely hidden in the forest, and I walked by it a half dozen times and never saw it. At the entrance to the mine is the skeletal remains of a deer carcass, and there are bear prints around the entrance as well. I'm a little nervous about going in and being between a bear who wants to get out and the way out.

Congrats Brent, I remember when you first started your venture I remember your lows when you broke down and cried. After watching your videos from the beginning to now, you have inspired me to look forward, I’m a veteran (US Army) dealing with PTSD, I now started my own trucking business and not to focus in the past but look forward towards my future challenges and accepts that there’s always lights at the end of the tunnel.
Keep doing what you’re doing sir. Thank you

Damn, I remember the day you posted your first video. So insane how far you've came and the random YouTube share I seen 2.5 years ago when you had under 1000 subscribers

Hey Brent! Thank you for having us all up to Metal Detect the town last weekend! I had a lot of fun! It was great to see you and the rest of the Cerro Gordo team up there!

I discovered Brent when he had a couple hundred subs - amazing job getting 1.5 million - you are very entertaining - you might have found your true calling! Keep it up

Being a previous farm owner of alpacas I suggest you put fans on the alpaca if your temperature is 105 degrees. Even though they’re sheared they still get hot. If that’s not possible, hose their chest, legs and under bellies down with water to cool them off being careful not to get coat wet. They are sweet animals.

This looks like so much fun, I wish that I was still in my early 20's. I use to love exploring abandoned caves but that is all in the past sense I am in my 50's with a degrading body and no hope for recovery. Keep on with your positive attitude and don't ever give up!

Brent - I really needed to watch this episode- for therapeutic reasons. I’m in the midst of a horrible period of burnout. Following your adventures and absorbing your energy and minimalist lifestyle bring a sense of calm to me. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Young man you are a breath of fresh air and an inspiration for the youth of this country that dreams can become reality. What an example for them to follow. I have followed you now for about two years and I am delighted each time I pick up your site to see how much you have advanced. I am 84 but if I were younger I would want to come and help out. What an adventure for all of your volunteers. Bless you🥰

You are inspiring. You’ve created something really special, not only your love for cerro Gordo and preserving the history, but the whole community involved.. the world needs more people like Brent.

Brent I thought it would be a compassionate idea to have different colored lights at the 200 foot level in the mineshaft
to honor the 8 to 35 Chinese immigrant miners who died there. All the best to your great spirit of ghost town living, Kelly.

The string of lights going down the shaft was a great idea. It's probably a little less spooky when riding down now.
Thank you once again for sharing Cerro Gordo with us.

I love how it's slowly coming together well done Brent for saving a part of our history

I love hearing your happy, positive "HELLO THERE!" please never stop! I hope someday I get to visit and explore this beautiful treasure of a town.

Just a couple of quick ideas. 1 - you should prepare a History of Cerro Gordo film that can be shown to visitors once the town is open for tourists 2 - use the alpaca wool to make blankets for the bunk house and guest rooms; later you can use it to make souvenir beanie caps for sale.
