Last time I visited Cerro Gordo it was a much different place. Back in 2011, the town seemed on the decline and not many people even knew it existed. Today there seems to be a boom happening again and it is thanks to new owner Brent Underwood and his dreams to build up the town, preserve history and make it destination for artists and tourists alike. Join me and my friends as we take a walking tour of Cerro Gordo California's famous Silver Mining boom town.

I love Cerro Gordo and Brent. Seeing more of Keeler in this video, it reminds me of the town in the move Tremors.

Keeler is really underrated, lots of cool history, buildings and not to mention the resilient inhabitants

One of my favorite places is Cerro Gordo! I will be making a return trip up there this summer. My all time favorite was when Brent hosted the metal detecting weekend, and I along with many other people, had the opportunity to camp out there. My camp spot was just above the bunk house. Thanks for the look into the town of Keeler as well. Looks like I might be making a stop there as well.

That riveted tank is most likely an accumulator - a pressurized air tank to help air drills maintain pressure while consuming air. Think of it like a capacitor in electrical circuits. Once they leave the mine, can be repurposed for anything imaginable.

Having visited Cerro Gordo, I saw the amazing real ghost town before Brent cluelessly overloaded ancient wiring and burned most of the structures. A crying video and his soliciting help allowed him to facilitate building a new version for tourists to visit. He's a great self promoter who destroyed most of the original Cerro Gordo ghost town. Some of us have difficulty forgiving him for that.
