It's been 13 months up here at Cerro Gordo now! It's almost impossible for me to believe. I remember the craziest idea ever would be one year alone up here. Now, I'm a month past that and it's made me think more about my future up here and the projects I want to focus on.
This month I completed a few building renovation projects I've been wanting to clear up, took some epic explorations, and continued some ongoing projects.
I really, really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to check out this channel. It's made these past 13 months the best 13 months of my life. THANK YOU!

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

Brent, the only person in history to buy an abandoned mining town and build a mini-golf course in one of the old mines. I love it!

@Smokey420Greenleaf 2 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.

@relevantinformation6655 3 года назад

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.

@juststeve5542 3 года назад

Good idea, but given the age of the cabins and things I guess it hasn't been a problem in the last 100 years, however, that's not to say it won't be, and that being prepared for it is a bad idea.

When are you pouring the pad? I’m a mason I would be soo happy to be a part of pouring that foundation. I was raised in Joshua Tree my love of the desert is never ending; let alone being a part of such a cool project.

I'm in complete awe, not only for the man you are, the adventures you have and this channel..... but also for the beauty that surrounds you, the way it captivates you and guides you on your path. You are a very lucky man, but also, the wilderness that surrounds you is lucky to have a man like you as its caretaker. Hats off to you Brent!! Love this channel!!

I think his whole outlook, style, storytelling, poetry & passion.. documentation, awe-envoking soundtracks and yeah his camera work, are nothing short of spectacular! If he doesn't make 1 million subs in the next month, I'm going on a Social Media campaign. More humans need to experience his experiences!

Johnny is literally the best friend that everyone needs if he started a RU-vid channel where he only has a GoPro on filming his adventure with Brent that would be some of the best content!

You forgot that lime is one of the ingredients in cement. What a cool project, I wish I wasn't paralyzed, I would love to come out, and help you guys. I have a background in construction, and I love riding dirt bikes, hiking and exploring, and golfing, and I would love to live the simple life in the desert mountains! I'm jealous it looks like a lot of fun, good luck, and happy trails!

@marshabrubaker185 2 года назад

@Bmoore295 3 года назад

The sheer beauty of Cerro Gordo is overwhelming. It is breathtaking and has so many interesting differences. That cliff is spectacular, the Joshua trees are amazing, and the views are just unbelievable. I won't ever get to make those hikes, and so deeply appreciate you taking us along. You sharing the beauty of your surroundings means everything to me. I am so glad you are looking towards finding more balance. Play is important and your health is imperative. Take good care of yourself as you pursue adventure and your passion.

@ndegwamaina7306 3 года назад

This is mature content...pure class, simply one of the best things on RU-vid. As I grow older, I find that I look for content that has meaning, either for the creator or for myself and other viewers, this channel provides the chance to see a man find himself in the desert, a man find meaning and purpose in his life. Brent is living a full life, kudos to that man.

@Danky94 3 года назад

Couldn't agree more, and couldn't have said it better myself. This is the most authentic content on youtube, and it is rapidly becoming my favorite channel!

Brent you are the desert version of Dick Prenneke Alone in The Wilderness. Dick went to Alaska when he was 52 years old built a log cabin and lived off the land for 30 years. You are doing something that a lot of us would like to do but life gets in the way. Maybe there will be a day when I can stay in your hotel. Thanks Dennis

Brent you can maybe attach cameras to the goats and capture the footage on where do they wander around the property. It could be good footage because goats are good mountaineers.

@Immaculate_he4rt 2 года назад

I love coming back to rewatch these older videos. I find them very relaxing and almost nostalgia inducing. I didn’t grow up in the desert, but I grew up way out in the woods and my dad was always taking me exploring around the property in his scout or on 4 wheelers (it wasn’t nearly as big as the property Cerro Gordo sits on, but still pretty expansive). Anyway, I say all that to say, I hope he never stops making these videos and I sincerely hope to visit the town one day when it’s ready for guests.
