I moved to Cerro Gordo in March 2020 because of the pandemic and to relieve our longtime caretaker so he could be back home. I've been here ever since. There have been ups and downs, but I feel I am learning a lot and becoming a better person.
Follow along on this channel for more from the town. I have no plans to leave and will continue making videos to update the progress on all the projects!
The town was originally established in 1865 and by 1869 they were pulling 340 tons of ore out of the mountain for Los Angeles.
The silver from Cerro Gordo was responsible for building Los Angeles. The prosperity of Cerro Gordo demanded a larger port city and pushed LA to develop quickly.
The Los Angeles News once wrote:
“What Los Angeles is, is mainly due to it. It is the silver cord that binds our present existence. Should it be uncomfortably severed, we would inevitably collapse.”
In total, there has been over $17,000,000 of minerals pulled from Cerro Gordo. Adjusted for inflation, that number is close to $500,000,000.
It’s been a wild ride so far owning a ‘ghost town’ and we’re having a lot of fun figuring out what to do with it.
The type of things that might lead you here are interests in ghost towns, abandoned mining towns, abandoned cities, California history, the zombie apocalypse, ghost stories, scary stories, nature, death valley, lone pine CA, mines, exploring, overnight challenges, exploration, urban exploration and yes theory.

Thank you all for tuning in again! What do you want to see next?
I’d love to see more mine exploration videos please!! It’s so satisfying to me for some reason. Keep up the great content Brent, you are are my favorite RUclipsr right now!
Have you already talked about how you're stocking up for provisions and plans for the winter? If not, that would be interesting to hear about. Also as many others have said, I think you should dig up the time capsule and watertight seal it as well as store the SD card data on some other medium. Also make sure you leave some kind of record in stone that the time capsule exists if you want someone to find it... You probably don't need to bury it so deep under the foundation but maybe I'm wrong about that... I love your channel. Best of luck to you and the Cerro Gordo crew.
Please read the comment about the time capsule it's probably not going to survive for more then 10/20 years
Want to see that hike you didn’t finish.
Project videos!
No ad's on his videos, and puts his 100k subs, silver play button straight in a plastic bucket 6ft underground with a low loader. Brent is a wild west gangster.
Lmao yes
There will be adds soon, RUclips is going to be putting adds on all videos soon.
I love this guy
Dudes gonna have to make another time capsule when he gets to 1 million subs.

Cool, isn't it?
This guy gets it! Agreed 100%
I promise you this, one day my wife and I are going to stay in 'The American Hotel'!
Yeah! Me and my boys want to go when Brett welcome people in the Hotel 🏨
Same
If I wasn’t in Australia I would be there too
Yeah, good plan. My wife and I are planning a trip as well. Cheers.
If you die you won’t 😂😂 jk
Don't know if you are still reading comments after 3 days, but I sent you a GPS Navigator to map your way back. It's easy to get lost in those mountains.
Good on you :) Much love
💗 what an amazing and thoughtful gesture. We will all feel more comfortable with his exploration with one of these!
that was really cool of you, good looking out!
DON'T PAINT THE OUTHOUSE, THE COLORS ARE GREAT.
And don’t pee in it just poop once you pee it starts smelling MUCH worse
it looks so cool please dont paint it!!
I was just saying the same to my missus how cool it looks then he said I'll paint it 😂
Absolutely! Please consider not painting it. I thought those multi-colored planks were a design choice and they look really nice. A bit of pretty color for an otherwise (soon-to-be) nasty outhouse.
Please don’t paint it.
Don’t paint the Outhouse, just varnish. It’s the coolest crapper I’ve ever seen.
haha, noted! It stands out a lot though...
i agree
its your history now. let it live as it was built.
i wouldnt even have built any walls, just an open crapper...freedom poopin while watching the sunset
I agree!!!!!
Thanks for having Kara and Nate there, that's how I found you
Awesome! They are great. Really enjoyed that.
I can see a stable in the future! imagine exploring the valley on horseback?
I would love to help with the horse part!
No horses you can't go of road to much shale.
If it's not too late to dig it up again, you should. That thing needs to be better proofed against the environment. It needs to be waterproof, it needs to be airtight and it needs to be free from internal moisture. If the only precautions you took are the ones we saw, then the more delicate contents will break down in less than a decade. Even the small amount of humidity absorbed into that T-shirt will likely be enough degrade the paper products over time.
A cheap solution would be to make the bucket airtight with a few dozen layers of plastic wrap and clear tape then take it to a tire shop and give it a nitrogen flush to push all the air out. You need to get rid of all the oxygen and moisture inside that bucket and this is the cheapest and easiest way.
Now that you have an airtight vessel you need to protect it. Go to the hardware store and get a roll of self adhering waterproof membrane intended for use on foundations. Wrap your bucket in a few overlapping layers until its at least a half inch thick, but more is better.
This is probably good enough provided you are careful when burying it. I would advise you fill the hole with a layer of sifted sand so no rocks are in contact with the vessel that could wear through the outer layers and cause a puncture. But you could protect it even more by encasing it in concrete, but make sure to attach a label to it so future archeologists will know that this big lump contains a time capsule instead of just being construction debris.
This region appears to be at a high elevation and looks like it is pretty dry for most of the year. But if you are putting this under an occupied building there is a very high possibility that someday that basement is going to get flooded, somehow.
Also, consider that you stopped digging when you stopped finding things like bottles or interesting things. You could probably increase the likelihood of someone finding this in future by not digging it quite so deep. I would also consider including things like electrical specs for SD cards, filesystem documentation, specs for ASCII/utf encoding, and then include on the SD card specs for the file formats used in ASCII format to give the future archivists a leg up. (Maybe also stick to simple file formats (eg. Uncompressed .BMP) that don't require things like frequency domain math or understanding of compression technology too! :))
he should really see this comment
Pin this comment to the top...
@@gunderd Also the SD card will probably be unreadable in a few decades. I would recommend something like an archival harddrive.
I really hope he takes your advice! I was thinking this too, there’s a very very high likelihood most of the contents will be destroyed otherwise.

Hi Brent we are steve and linda Bruce. We live in a small town near falkirk in scotland . We just absolutely love your videos. We admire your total dedication and tenacity for what you're doing at Cerro Gordo. We will endeavour to help get the hotel back up and running for you. We are also saying prayers that you get all you need and seeing all those people coming to help you was so heartwarming. We wish we could just transport ourselves and muck in and help. Stay safe and all our love to you
Thanks for sharing your passion. I live in a tiny town in the Welsh mountains, in the UK. We have ancient monuments and castles dating back hundreds of years and yet people take them for granted. Its so heart warming to see you so passionate about your town.
I’m currently stationed in Korea. Moving to Washington in February...when I come home, I’m flying into Dallas to get my car and seriously headed straight to Cerro Gordo on my way to WA. This channel has helped me survive a rough year
You wanna check in with Mayor of Cerro Gordo before you just show up. Nobody likes uninvited guests
@@Speedster189 I mean, obviously I’d do it the right way
Only a 4 wheel drive with chains would make it up there in this time of year, speak with Mayor Brent.
Hope you made if back home safely 😊
Oh wow, thank you! I appreciate you checking out the videos. Hope to see you out here once you're back...
@@GhostTownLiving wow! I didn’t expect you to see that. Before I drive out, I’ll reach out to you to make sure it’s okay to visit. Cheers!
Brent, You don't know me but Robert does. I, along with others have hauled wood for Robert for heating his cabin. I met Jody before she passed and was a friend of Mike. July 4 is my birthday and I celebrated my 50th, 60th, and 70th birthday in the American Hotel. I'm really rooting for the hotel to be available by my 75th birthday in 2021. Best wishes.
wow! Thanks James. I'm rooting you can make it up here for that too. Wonderful you've been able to come up here so often
Brent to people 1000 years from now: "I have goats!"
People 1000 years from now: *debating what 'goat' means*
Other people 1000 years from now: "What happened to the other three kittens?!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The prevailing theory of course will be that "cat" = "goat", due to spelling similarities, probable pronunciation identification, and the very similar behaviors.
They went in the time capsule 😺
I remember reading a readers digest magazine when I was a kid, and they had a story about some archeologists in the future having done an archeological dig, whereas they discovered artifacts that resembled earnings, a headdress and other implements, and came to the conclusion that these items must have belonged to a vary important person of royalty, such as a princess or a queen, and they had a sketch of what this princess or queen might have looked like wearing these royal implements. The picture showed a woman in a fancy robe wearing the headdress, which was actually a toilet seat around her neck, with the lid at the back of her head, and earings which were actually old fashioned drain plugs hanging from their original chains, along with other bathroom accessories which adorned her. Her appearance rivaled any present day archeological exhibit depicting an excavation of royalty. So if someone excavates objects they are unfamiliar with, who knows what meaning they might attrach to those objects, and whether that meaning even remotely resemble reality 🤔
He did disclose the kits went to a lady. Can’t remember details. I think we all thought coyotes got them.
19 videos in and this guy has given us more history, more treasure finds, more excitement, more danger, and more to look forward to than 8 seasons of the curse of oak island and all of the other bullshit history/mystery/treasure hunting shows out there combined.
Amen Brother!!
Oh jeez curse of oak island is more like a comedy to me than anything else😂 I will give those guys an A for effort tho they really don’t give up ahah
So very true
true
So true. Feels like a frontiersman story too
The outhouse looks really cool with the different colored reclaimed wood.
Nice surprise in the toilet wall??
i agree
Agree! Leave the patterns as they are that’s what I thought
If you put a hostess twinkee and a McDonald’s cheeseburger in your time capsule, they’ll probably still be able to eat them, two hundred years from now.😁
Spam would do it, it doesn’t have a shelf life, but a 1/2 Life.
Sir, you're living a dream. Now you just need a good dog to round out your companions.
No he needs a parrot
he needs a lawyer to keep him from doing stuff that will get him sued into the ground, and someone who knows how to secure and monitor a property that big more than anything else lol. some of the stuff he's doing and planning has me both impressed and very worried for his future.
@@Smokey420Greenleaf dont worry bro half of it is fake i rekon, no way this guy organizes the stuff himself.. if he does then i agree im worried for him hahah in one of his other videos he was playing around with cloth that was sitting in a old TNT box could have had nitro gylcerin all thru it but he just picked it straight up started playing with it
Would like to see a donkey named Levi ...like those at Oatman.

Remember to mark the time capsule on the blueprints, so future people can find it more easily.
I would like a Cerro Gordo t-shirt but with Gordo the cat on it, complete with miner,s helmet and pick axe.
If buy that
I like it lolz
Im in....
Thanks for all the likes, I hope Brent sees this
I’m working my way through your channel from start to finish. I’m in love. Thank you for sharing your journey! As someone who is about to take care of an 1800s house, this touched my heart.
Thank you so much!
It’s really amazing to be able to find channels where you can literally watch someone’s story from start to finish. I found you on Tiktok so you know it’s making an impact.
Hi Brent, just a little suggestion about your time capsule. You should have put it in a cornerstone of the new hotel. That way people know where it's at. Five feet under the basement floor they may never find it. Plus a plastic five gallon pail is not going to weather well under the pressures of five feet of dirt and concrete. If possible dig it back up and put the stuff in a airtight stainless steel box that can be sealed in a wall of the hotel with a stone marking the location and date it. Just a thought before you start pouring concrete.
Yeah, I can't imagine a plastic bucket is going to handle the weather well. I'm with you too, bury it where someone can dig it up. You could bury it and cover it with a concrete block and stamp the block with "Do not open until XXXX" or something.
Yuh, Jason, I thought the same thing, an old ammo box..maybe from CG, would be nice, too. I like the stone marker/sealed wall vault idea with an open date. Then, Brent, you could be assured (or more sure) it would be found and not be opened for...500...10000 years.

I hope he is gay.
Most eligible bachelor in a town with a population of 1 is not that much of an achievement 😂
Only bachelor lol
Don’t get too lovey doves with the goats. 😂
I absolutely loved the message you put into the time capsule. Honestly you should keep a weekly diary and put it in a bookcase in Cerro Gordo, so that whoever the next owner may be can read them, you would be adding a ton to the history of the place, and hey maybe you could read them in a video every once in a while as well, cause it was really lovely hearing you read the message out over the beautiful background music, it sounded like an audio diary you would hear from an adventurer in a game while following their traces.
Can't wait to book a room. This would be my first visit to your country. I totally want to visit that place.
Please get a GPS tracker to take on your hikes and in the mines, just in case you get really lost or injured.

"If you are lost but know your way back. you're not lost but exploring."
This was a quote we used in my urban exploring days.
I live in a home that was built in 1821: with a sketchy and mysterious history. It is my place of solace and intrigue from the false world we now face.
Knowing how much effort it takes me to maintain by 200 year home on a half-acre? I can’t imagine the amount of effort you’re exerting to rebuild an entire town; while making time to explore.
Although do not have mines? My home was originally a Native American trading post. I’ve found many antiquities in the lawn, over the years, and your show has re-inspired me to keep digging deeper.
You’re living the true American dream. Thank you from those of us who find joy in owning just a sliver of it.😊

Memory cards won't be readable after a few decades as the info is stored as an electrical charge which leaks away over time. - A CD might be a better bet
Yeah they only last about 5 years.
Yep. I think you unfortunately can just screw everything that's on it. Hate to say things like this, but: maybe you can dig out the capsule again and SAVE the data on the memory card elsewhere? ;)
OR - better: create a DIFFERENT "time document" video for Cerro Gordo and really put that in a long-term data archive solution...
Unfortunately CD's are pretty fragile too even in storage. They eventually "rot". Best thing for preservation of information is ink and paper sealed away from all moist and air.
@@asleepghoulshow Probably the best bet. The 1930's world fair in NY did a 5000 year time capsule sealed with nitrogen* inside to preserve the artifacts I believe
*EDIT: More info on the time capsules. Correction on gas used. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Time_Capsules
Noted! This is news to me. I'll add another sneaky time capsule with polaroids instead...

When you pour the concrete write "time capsule below" to insure that it gets found.

It will never even be found unless someone knows about it and rips out the foundation of the hotel...by that time it will probably be forgotten and it's so deep, it will probably not be found. Seems like a bad place to put it imo.

Depends on which video hahaha 😂
BRENT READ THIS!: The data on your memory card will degrade in less than a decade. It is susceptible to what is known as 'flip bit'. Cosmic rays cause parts of the memory to flip from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1, causing your data to corrupt. The higher your altitude, the more likely it is to happen. Memory cards are generally terrible for long term storage. I think what you are doing is fantastic, and don't want to 'that guy' with bad news, but thought it better to say so you can consider your options. Keep it up dude!
Edit: Yes, it was a terrible example about why the cards can degrade over time. A better example as stated by mikeselectricstuff
and azurefox below (thanks guys!) is charge leaking away from cells. Flip Bits do exist for the reasons stated. See my other comments below.

I grew up in Ridgecrest. Every weekend my folks would take us up into the Sierra's to camp. But we would also head up into all the side roads off 395. On one of our drives, my dad took us up to Cerro Gordo. It was quite a drive, especially if you're a 12 year old kid who just wanted out of the car. I remember the view. My mom loved it. I think I saw Whitney from there. It's been awhile, and dad had promised to take us to dinner in Lone Pine after our drive, so I was more interested in that than exploring. I wish I had been old enough to appreciate it more then. (I think that was 1975!) Mom and dad are gone now, and I live in Oregon. There's so much history out there and I miss the Sierra's terribly. So glad you are bringing life to Cerro Gordo again. Bless you! Stay safe, and stay warm Brent. :)
Brent, I raised goats in Alaska and just acouple suggestions about their housing. First, the small square door should face your house so you can see if a predator comes at night you can see the door from your house. Also, make a platform to keep them off the cold floor inside to sleep on, they would love a climbing bench outside also. Love watching
I love the mismatched wood of the outhouse!!

I would get some toys for the goats and some climbing thing for them, this pen has no incentive or fun or configuration. It's boring for them.
he could maybe move a few rocks into it, that they can climb/jump, or just some wooden boxes.
The pen is much bigger than it looks. It wraps around the back and has many elevations and areas. You're only seeing them where they get fed.
Exactly what I was thinking. Nice to hear they have a lot more space, they are adorable!
Reply to ghost town living. 🏚The size of the pen was not in question. If you put kids in a large room we without any toys or things to play on it would not be much fun. If you don't understand this then I feel sad for you.
@@GhostTownLiving Its not the size of the pen, it's that you have no TOYS or CLIMBING APPARATUS for them.

I’m a scenic artist in the film industry. I 1000% agree with using as much of that recycled wood that you can, but I can absolutely tie in any new materials and age them to match the existing ghost town! I would love to be a part of this project!
People love videos of hunkering down for the winter, so milk that as much as you can, lots of footage of stocking up and preparing, then lots of footage of being snowed in and all cosy!
Anyone else wish the episodes were like 2-3 hours long?
Not really
No
Nah
Yesss
Yes. Ore part 1 ; 2 ; 3 ect.
Channel is taking off, congrats buddy.
I'm so thrilled for you that you have so many viewers. Congrats!
When you finish the basement I would put a plaque on the floor that says there is a time capsule buried there and not to open it unless the hotel is gone or something, I don’t know if it’s just me but I’d be worried people wouldn’t realize anything was there even if they were rebuilding it since it is so much deeper than the floor of the basement
And make sure it will become oral history that its there.
Yes. So true. Who would find that? (From a builder working eyes wide open on old homes all the time.)
His contributions to history are so remarkable and it’s wonderful that he’s preserving the past so well

I don’t see any contributions yet but when he makes that hotel he will have achieved a great one
This is content! Thank you!!!! Bless your journey.
You’re making memories my dude! Honestly I’m weirdly crying because you’re making your foot print in our history
I feel like no one will EVER dig that deep under the foundation lol
That's what I was thinking
You are correct. I do foundations for side jobs and in 100 years the ground will still be level there. If the hotel does burn down or falls apart anyone building the new hotel will already have flat ground no need to dig down 5 feet. Maybe someone with ground penetrating radar will find it in a thousand years. I feel like he didn't really think this out or maybe he thought about it to much.
@@sunshinevapes6486 well who ever watches and keeps this video will be able to know where the treasure is
@@sunshinevapes6486 he hopes for it to be found in 500 or 1000 years, i dont think any foundation will last 1000 years.
@@SoldJesus4Crack But if you remove the foundatuon in 1000 years, you dont dig an extra 5 feet.
You should buy a metal detector! Imagine the old coins and other goodies!!!
nails you mean
@@tomtricks6838 lol. Probably
Lotta nails but anything you find that’s not a mail makes it worth it 👌🏼
even old nails, American made, a a good investment
Just watched every episode, amazing content and love this channel and your passion!
I’m happy the plans were approved. Looking fantastic, we are here to enjoy watching you build your dream. Thanks for sharing it with us
Once this hotel is done I'm definitely coming to the West Coast, greetings from Poland. ^^
They find it like “what the hell is a youtube?”
It was a continuous thought throughout third but I don’t think it will be like that any more since everything is so well documented
Or they b like lmfao only 100k subs now days silver plaque is 100mil subs 100yrs from now since it will b easy to get clout and followers and fake followers
It was a fachist channel that tried to indoctrinate and control minds. It was cancelled during 1776 2.0
@@BEVERLYPRINCESS90210 If RUclips (and Google) are still a thing 100 years from now, I hope WWIII is in 101 years.
This is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this journey.
I’ve never watched videos on repeat like this, can’t wait to visit. Thanks Brent!
You sir, need a metal detector! You'd probably find loads of relics in town
This channel makes me feel grounded at the same time some sort of hope towards humanity.
I feel the exact same way
I couldnt find the word but you're right its "Grounded"
Literally this channel gives me hope , hes living my dream
Recently stumbled across your channel. I think what you’re doing is so memorable and will be bringing this ghost town back to life. Amazing videos and love the idea of the capsule.
I'm in the process of watching your videos and all your joys and sorrows. Just finished watching your Time Capsule video. I have a feeling, sad to say, that long after I'm gone, and you're no longer the caretaker of that beautiful piece of history, it will all go back to Mother Nature and be forgotten. I wish it could truly live on for another couple hundred years or more...
It’s so great to see someone find their purpose and passion in life. There’s nothing like being content.
I’m so happy you’re taking better care of yourself ♥️♥️♥️
Another great video! Love following your journey---definitely binge-watch worthy!
This is the most interesting and wholesome channel. It is amazing!
