3 Years Living In An Abandoned Ghost Town! 

it's fair to say that millions care about it, judging by the subscriber count.

​@@aidanacebo9529Take your negativity elsewhere bud, this ghost town is awesome.

@@HalJurgensen how is any of what I said, in any way, negative? OC said that thousands of people care about the town, that estimate is a little low I think because the channel has over a million subscribers.

​@@aidanacebo9529 I think it's obvious that he took your comment the wrong way. I understood exactly what you meant but I can kind of understand how somebody could take it out of context.......no big deal bud as I am hoping he will clarify his mistake. Peace buddy!!!!

Thank you so much! It’s been quite the journey and I’m so blown away by the community here. Hope to see you up here sometime!

Guessing that's a no

And finish the hotel. Good luck on that! So much to do. Hopefully he can get enough volunteers to finish the job.

Urgh

Hi RU-vid

You are on the algorithms good side Brent 👍

Indeed

Even RU-vid itself loves Cerro Gordo!

when the official account of youtube recognizes a channel and makes a comment you know its something special

watching his earlier videos he talks about how he is learning how to film and edit all for the first time. Its really inspiring to see how much he has developed from the first video he created.

He has stated in prior videos that he didn't know anything about it. He has learned everything by trial and error experience. He is doing a fantastic job.

I've found his approach to making content incredibly inspiring. His editing is so fantastic, and that he's just learning as he goes has kind of pushed me towards creating videos myself rather than looking for someone who could do it for me.

I m really wondering : WHAT THE F HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN 3 YEARS???....

@@chocomojo9552 well you clearly haven't been paying attention

I've watched since day 1 was fan number 3,197... Now he's working on 2 million!

@@chocomojo9552 go watch since day 1 ....

Brent is now a part of that history.

I was pretty sure he wouldn't last a month.. Musta been the shoes.... Boy, he's proved me wrong, kid has sand. More of his gen could take a lesson!

Frank Morris- I love your comments about how much Brent has changed over these past three years. I have relatives in Missouri who are Morris’s Joseph Zino, frank and Carl. My G grandmother married Joseph zino morris in 1906. She later adopted her own granddaughter who is my mom and her son was Joseph Eldridge who was the father of mama but weirdly became her uncle. I am so lucky that my great grandparents did this and they raised me as well on their small farm in Ogden Utah. Home for me is always 1021 the address to their lane and property. It was the garden of Eden for me and I loved it there. What fun to climb the bails of hay in the barn and make tunnels to find kittens and for the views from the window at the top. I was free there to roam and explore the river that was the life of the place and Papa knew how to do everything from building the eight houses and planted a tree for every purpose so fresh fruits all summer and canned the rest. Jam had a room for all of the trees produced and the garden was full of vegetables that we grew. We had a milking cow, chickens and pets in our backyard and pigs down by the river and to tease them was the most fun. I’d stand up on their fence which made them run as fast as they could and ram their heads on fence. What fun to watch and enjoy taking them some corn husks as a treat for them and for the cow. It’s weird what they like to eat. Anyway potential cousin. I’m just saying hi. Cindy

Such a unique and cool skill to have too. Not many people I watch regularly on RU-vid anymore, but you know I’m clicking on his vids

@@CindyNeumann4726 Well i am going to say, like as not. We Morris's were some of the first in Iowa, Stockport to be exact .The original Morris land is still partly intact. The cabin (replica) some buildings and a grave yard. You got any Veech in ya? That little bone orchard is chock full of Morris and Veech. See ya Cuz

Hope you weren't one of the ones who helped pay for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EIcnCaVsYFI.html

Agreed, Brent's narration is incredible.

That feeling, the excitement and the feeling of danger you have when you round a corner youve never turned to. I think there's a word for that. I think its called adventure. I'd love to venture into one of these mines and see what i can find but i know how dangerous it can be.

Agree! And what a journey it’s been. Thanks for checking it out!

Hi Brent, thanks to your exciting quests for rediscovering the past lives of mining in our area here by Owens Lake. I pass it each time on my way up to Bishop. I've wandered alone a few times years ago taking photos of Darwin and was warned that I was lucky I wasn't turned up missing , by trespassing in unknown territories by disgruntled inhabitants! But, I find it interesting to search for forgotten areas , lost in times past. I'd love to visit your libraries and hotel one day soon. I'll be donating books to add to your collections and think that having a sign in book for visitors should be a great idea and complement your wonderful concerns for our distinct properties, unknown to so many travelers as they whiz past on their way up north towards Mammoth and beyond! God Bless and keep you safe, in your ambitious and exciting journies ahead!

Awesome! That is so nice to hear. Thanks for the note

@@pirateradioFPV the internet did not exist back then sherlock, no records.

@@pirateradioFPV you realize that's a major reason for him to be doing this? so people can be able to name two people from 100 years ago. to bring attention to not just this place but to preserving history in general? if you don't like his methodology, don't watch. jeez always some negative nancy.

@@pirateradioFPV well duh, he gotta get the money to keep things running somewhere so of course he’s making money on these videos and from sponsors and merch etc. Peter is also right. Brent loves this place and it’s history, there is no faking how excited he gets about it all. No one is making you watch.

@@pirateradioFPV Aren't you a grown man? You don't watch beach bums but you play with glorified rc toys. Go post some more videos no one will watch.

​@@pirateradioFPV not only can I do that I can name the lady that ran the hore house all thanks to brent

Man is this ever great! I have passed on the two pocket watches left to me, that were my grandfather's, to my two brothers. I have pictures and memories of him to feed my thoughts.

Rick from pawn stars will give you $20 for it. He’s gotta frame it, hold it, advertise for it, and still make a profit. $10 is what he can do.

You should play red dead redemption 2

@@Auggies1956 When you pass on an object, it becomes an heirloom. I’ve learned a lot about my family’s history since inheriting this pocket watch, and I intend on keeping the history alive for when I pass on the watch to the next generation

Through all of his tragedies, he handles everything so well.

🙏

ya, can't believe it too

Me too, I remember watching his first Video. I was thinking oh this won't last long. WRONG~!

@@trudymccann3671 It's nice to be wrong about things like this, so happy this channel is still here and gets better with every update 😀

Thats such a great idea! I know a lot of national parks do that. Im looking forward to seeing Cerro Gordo someday soon i hope. I can imagine how beautiful the night sky would be, as well as gorgeous sunsets.

What are you doing so far from home?

​@@eypxmwgovmifuon7808 teavelling abroad on a gap year after highschool

@@duncanmountfort142 Great choice, enjoy your travels!

This is relatable

if you havent yet, go watch at least some of those really videos. watching unexperienced brent do stuff is fun.

Because it's backed by wealthy investors. He is fleecing you

@@Quickmart4 He's not asking for anything. Therefore, nobody can be fleeced.

Sadly, LA will likely repeat its previous performance. Hope not, though.

after conning people out of money to build a new hotel after burning down the old historic hotel, the only anxiety I get is knowing that this conman comes out of the mines in good health. people like him are shameless liars who take advantage of people who don't do research before giving out money.

​@@HondaSquidWhat has he lied about

@@HondaSquid if you’re so comfortable bashing this man’s reputation, you should also be as comfortable giving us facts to back-up your statements, because all I see is you calling someone names, which only amounts to one thing: Sour grapes. If you don’t come up with hard facts then you have zero credibility.

Yeah I remember when he started thinking what the actual fuck is he thinkin. But here we are 3 years on. Impressive

that's very true. people should know about the investment firm backing his purchase of the area to turn into a tourist spot. especially the people who donated money to him despite the fact that he got millions invested already. funny how he doesn't share this info anywhere
