More attraction ideas for Cerro Gordo: 1. Invite relatives of the miners to tell the tales of their ancestors 2. Get a school for film makers to make a bunch of amateur western short films in the mining town and have a premiere and award show of the films in the theatre 3. Run a drone filming workshop and film the land

@Smokey420Greenleaf 3 года назад
likely because every other mini golf business owner knew building a mini golf coarse in a mine is a lawsuit waiting to happen. just wait till lil timmy walks in to take his shot and 80 tons of stone come crashing down on top of him, or maybe he steps on a random half buried stick of dynamite that was missed in the cleanup process... or maybe he accidentally slips into a 300 foot deep hole... or maybe he gets bitten by a rattlesnake that happens to live in the mine which i hear is pretty common. way too many horrible possibilities when dealing with mines, this is why quite literally no one aside from miners makes a business out of them.

@@GhostTownLiving your welcome, I have been watching from the first one, since I have been enthralled with Cerro Gordo since I was a kid. I grew up in Bishop, and even though I live in LA, I still travel the eastern sierras with my family on a regular basis, its our favorite part of California and likely one of the most beautiful parts of the country. So I know that area well, and through my ghost town journeys all over the back side of the mountains (Keeler, panamint, masonic, etc), Cerro Gordo has always been the Unicorn I have never been able to get to becuase its always been private property. so I can't wait for you to open that place up. By the way, the reason the drone keeps crashing, is likely becuase your model drone doesnt have lateral sensors :) some do, some don't, based on how much you crash that thing, you should get one that does. :)

@noleftturnunstoned 3 года назад
Really? it seems overwrought. We get it, Cerro Gordo, national treasure, historic landmark, we should all be enthralled. In truth, there is little that is left, and what is is from the last century and barely over 100 years old. He is obviously aware of this, and spends a lot on repetitive embellishment. But, I don't think he needs to do this, it interesting enough with out it. If you read this Brent, keep doing what you do.

Brent I'm not sure what the threat of wildfire is up there in the high desert but maybe getting some sort of old fire truck or truck with a tank, and pump just in case. I can imagine you wouldn't be a man to evacuate so having some sort of plan could hopefully save the town. I've heard this is going to be the worst California wildfire season in modern history. At a minimum create some defensible space around each structure. Also if a campfire or anything else were to get out of control you could handle it before it spreads.

Good call. You can never be too prepared, specially with buildings made out of wood that have dried in the sun for decades. Would be a great idea to clear all the brush around as far as possible for the fire season. When spring comes. Have the goats 🐐 eat the surrounding vegetation to prepare for next years fire season.

Brent, cats will head - butt you when they want to show you they trust you. They purr to calm you down, and they rub against you and knead you to imprint their scent on you to say you are part of the clan. Just a heads-up. If they bring you mice they think you are their child or peer and want to teach you to hunt. The older they get, the more they will become independent and only see you when they are missing you or want treats. I have a feeling your cats will ALWAYS want to be near you because they love you.

I grew up between the Valley and the Mojave. My dad had me good and scared of those abandoned mines on Angeles Forest Hwy! Used to go exploring in Red Rock State Park and got stoned more times than I care to count at Vasquez Rocks. The number of abandoned buildings and mines in the Mojave area is pretty nuts. I live in South Texas now, but my obsession with the brothels in the ghost towns set me on to finish my PhD as an adult.

My Harley will not make it, but I have been wanting a dirt bike, so now my 2021 goal is to get the bike, and then make plans to head out of LA when you are ready for overnight visitors. You are doing an incredible job, surely the souls of the men and women who called Cerro Gordo home back in the day are watching and appreciate your appreciation of the history of this area. So exciting to watch the transformation.

Well done sir. Wow! WELL DONE........What a privilege it is to watch Cerro Gordo's rebirth unfold as we watch such a wonderful Man evolve and grow through his experience. This is truly a beautiful gift we have with Brent's channel. I feel so so much gratitude for him and his work. Every week when I tune in I am reminded that too many of us are not truly living, myself included alot of the time.... We live life as though it is a struggle simply to exist and survive another day. We spend most of our time at jobs that we hate away from those we love, never fulfilling our gifts and passions and too often lives are aged and die having never truly lived....this channel showcases the exception, it highlights and details that there is another way...a better way if you ask me. Some where along the way we got it wrong everyone and we became sick, sick with greed, envious and consumerism but it is not too late. Let's be kind to one another, let us turn off the T.V. and lay down the smart phone, let's create, lets get loud because we are still alive! What an inspiration he is. If you actually read all of this, I thank you for reading my crazy hippie rant! Ha! Love You all! #thehumanspiritisstillalive
