Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. It was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎
What do y’all think about Cerro Gordo?! Are you jealous of his quarantine location? 😉
Looks cool. Kara and Nate you guys should watch the video by a youtube channel called "rv miles" it is no longer illegal to film in National Parks without a permit. There was a court case and we won!!! Go get your money back!! Let's see the parks!!
So cool!
oh who wouldn't be.
I’m extremely jealous
Definitely not..... I’m too much of a scaredy cat😂
Love what Brent said at the end, he wants to have accommodation stretching from budget camping to high end luxury. Making it accessible for everyone regardless of economic background 🙌
That’s super cool! To think where Cerro Gordo could look like in 20 years has me just super super stoked! I’m looking forward to staying at the salon hotel that’s gonna be there!
I would definitely get shot before they called 911. can poor people of color make it into this zone of segregation? XD To me this is a country club in the making.
@@JesusChrist-sq8qw you can look up stats for yourself and dont have to rely on communist propaganda
@@patrickderp1044 Stats and Communist propaganda? Links please :)
@@JesusChrist-sq8qw save your money for a one way trip to africa thats my advice
When I saw Cerro Gordo for the first time, I immediately thought "Wow, Kara and Nate should visit here", Here you are!
LITERALLY THIS
Same!!
Same!
Same!!!!!!
First time I heard of Cerro Gordo, I fancied buying it myself. Pretty sure it is now in much better hands than mine....lol
I hope that y'all are the first of many people to visit Cerro Gordo. A steady stream of paying customers could help make Brent's dream of fully restoring Cerro Gordo a hearty success. With all his work, he deserves for that to happen.
@@poster2247 He is the front man for a group of investors who bought this place. go do research on that.
@@Noob_Crew_Sledders "Group of investors" I mean it was him and a couple buddies / family members it's not like a group of business men like you are making it out to be
SO COOL to see two of my favorite RUclips channels get together! 😱🙌🏽
best collab ever
Soooo happy too :))))
Same
Same!
i agree.
New friends are always the best...especially when they buy a whole town for you to explore😂
Lmao
Mr beast is quaking
Love how this guy is preserving the history of this area. Very cool 😎
when are you going
creepy*
@Krabby patty lol well, crypto is an escape for investors that don't want the crash to affect totally. This is why a selected few that understand the times are taking up the opportunity of investing in cryptocurrencies, mostly bitcoin.
@@Grahzzyvtvlog - I’d love to visit. I’ve watched the channel and have really enjoyed it
Indeed crypto trading has proved to be very profitabl , more people are beginning to reap the massive gains in the crypto market.
Hands down, Brent has the most interesting channel on youtube. The fact that he posts only once a week, I make sure to enjoy every moment of his videoes.
Same here, my fav channel.
@Mike Gainer No backing for your words? Hmmmm, seems like you are trying to scam someone.
I would love to go visit the area
I'm so glad you guys were able to give Brent some publicity! I've been watching since month 2 and have tracked his journey over the year. He's a huge inspiration to me as a person and I'm so glad to see he's getting acknowledged. He's an absolute gem of this world.
Brent seems like such a humble person :( I hope he becomes even more successful and really achieve his goals for the future
Agree with you😁 what a great guy👍
A living archive. As a two-times museum volunteer, I loved the tour.
He’s a genuinely nice guy
He's the most awesome guy I've ever met!
YES!
I love this guy!
Kara: "Goodnight Ghost"
Nate: "Don't taunt them like that!!"
(24:34) 😂😂😂😂
How funny was Nate there🤣🤣🤣
next video a ghost touchs nate
This guy needs a metal detector. Probably tons of very old coins right under his feet.
He has one and he has been looking for coins, multiple times. :)
He also has a sieve, so he don't lose any smaller trinkets. That way he can preserve even the tiniest details for the museum
Those old miners never lost a nickel. Way too careful.
@@RRaucina right!? .05 got them a drink and a lady
His big treasure is usually glass bottles. Even bigger treasure is denim jeans.
I FLIPPED OUT! My favorite exploration RUclipsrs Sam and Colby have stayed there and explored there, and now Kara and Nate have been there? AMAZING!
I KNOW RIGHT!! i thought i was the only one who thought this lol
I approve of the amount of cats in this video :)
Hahaha yes! They were living in cat paradise!
And they're black cats too
what about the goats
So do I. Cats and Coffee. Two really essential C's in this world. 😊
@@bettyli6635 Aren't black cats the BEST? They're my fave.
I watch him all the time! I legitimately cried when the hotel burnt down 😭 it was the main place. It was why he was restoring the town in the first place 😱
How did it burn down?
@@pixiegem they are pretty sure it was due to old electric
I love that the last owners son kept their wishes in mind and accepted the bid that was in the best interests of the town and his parents interests, even though it was the lower bid.
Wow, that is amazing! And so quiet and private! He could literally turn the town into an air BNB and make all of his money back pretty quick. Caring for the land and restoring the buildings is a great investment. Falls under the category of the guy of my dreams. (Owns 400 acre ghost town and a lot of goats and cats)
You have a van, you're visiting a ghost town - is anyone else getting Scooby Do vibes? I can see a 'we adopted a Great Dane' video in the future. 😉
😅
But they didn't drive the van to the ghost town.
You have to get a dog and call him scooby lol!
I’m so happy more people are discovering Brent and his channel! He’s great!
He’s a gem for sure!
One second pls. Boutta sub to him RIGHT NOW
I had never heard of this, so glad they posted. Im now following his channel too!
I've watched Brent since the beginning, your channel was recommended. Cool to see people visiting him. Very sad that the American Hotel burned down, I remember getting the notification from Brent and I think we all cried with him....
Seriously guys, thank you for going to see Brent. He has taken so much time and put his full love into Cerro Gordo. If anywhere needs publicity it's him. I am so glad you both got to visit the place since history seems to disappear daily from our lives these days.
Every Sunday morning and I look forward to Kara, Nate and coffee!💕
Cheers ☕️💕
@@KaraandNate lol!😂😂😂😂😂
@@KaraandNate looked like fun! My Wife noticed the rental was from our home state of Connecticut.
I don't know what is crazier--that a guy bought an old mining town in the middle of nowhere for $1.1 million, or that Nate found his long lost twin brother!
His private mine is like something you would find in a Fallout game. Random Christmas tree, mini putt. Anyone finding it years from now will be "what the hell?!"
Omg I love that you guys connected with him, this is the best collab ever
Kara: Goodnight ghosts
Nate: Don't ever talk to them like that
HHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA I'M CRYING
He actually said "Don't taunt them like that"
Brent is such a cool soul. What hes doing is so awesome. And he just genuinely loves to share all the knowledge he has learned about the place. I love people like that 🖤✌️
I only felt friendly harmless spirits... When he talks about the property, there's a spark in his eyes🤩. That sold it. Gotta check this place. I also love love historical places. And thank God he is preserving and restoring the. The cats and goats are lovely😍❤️😊
Have you explored his channel yet? It’s great!
How is no one talking about how this guy looks exactly like Nate with a red beard?????? 😲
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT TOO
saaaameee
it was tripping me out....
You beat me to the comment. They sound the same too.
agreed
It's fun to watch the RUclips community connect in person... ah, human contact, we miss you
Right!
THIS PLACE IS EPIC!
I’m planning a trip to there
MEEBLES HI
I just recently discovered his channel, it's so interesting! My father actually has been there about 30 years ago. And he met the old owner!
Lmfao you guys are the guys he was talking about SHUT UP!!! MY TWO FAVOURITE CHANNELS JUST MERGED I'M DEAD
Nate stepping out of the truck and Kara being there with the background it's soooo weird to see you guys here!!! 🔥 🔥 ❤️ 🙌
Right?! I was like, “oh my gosh! Reallllyyyyy?!” 😂 this is amazing
omg for a hot second I thought Nate grew a beard and died his hair 😂
@@harper_anne2089 I didn’t mean to copy your comment! I did not see your comment! I am so sorry ❤️❤️😶❤️❤️❤️
@@harper_anne2089 thank you very much! You are so sweet!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you too❤️
funny I was thinking the same lthing...lol... they look so much alike....
I can not tell you how much I love, love, love this. The storytelling of simple people’s lives is awesome, and I encourage you to do more videos like this! Just think of the people and circumstances that you could highlight across the US! It could be years upon years of great storytelling....and you do such an awesome job Kara and Nate! ❤️❤️❤️
Love Cerro Gordo, but afraid of mines. When I was a kid I read "Five Boys in a Cave" and that cured me of any desire to ever go spelunking! I'm particularly intrigued with the haunted bunk house and really feel bad about the hotel burning down.
I got engaged up there 2 years ago this place is amazing
I wanted to see how Kara would scare Nate in the ghost house lol. Absolutely the coolest place to visit. I love how much he want to discover and preserve the history. The view of Death Valley and Mt Whitney - two different spectrum.
Brent seems like such a cool guy!! Definitely digging his vibe and love how passionate he is. Thank you for visiting and making this video.
Glad you guys came together. Two of my favorite adventurers! One stays put in the middle of nowhere and the other moves about the world!
Hi, what a wonderful chap. He should set up a hiking hostel, I’m sure he would have lots of guests.
if I was rich, i would definitely invest in stuff like this. projects like this give you purpose for many years
I’m happy you mentioned your Cerro Gordo trip in your recent video on a year of van life. It was a fun surprise to see a crossover/collab of a couple of my new favorite channels.
You guys seriously seem like the most genuine sweetest people ever. Your content didn’t downgrade at all with the pandemic which you think would happen being a travel channel but nope! So awesome, so enjoyable to watch. I’ve been obsessed with your content the past couple months & I’m just in awe. I can’t even put it into words, I totally love you guys❤️
watching both channels for a while now, I was just shocked seeing the combo!!! perfect video for all Cerro Gordo lovers, thank you
I know you guys always try to cut down on the footage but I know im speaking for everyone here, we would watch two hour long vlogs with all the videos we love your videos 🥺
Yessss.... watching those vlogumentaries of the Colorado trail was pure bliss😍😍😍
I love this town ..I fell in love with it .when Sam and Colby was there ..I love brent too
Very impressed with this Documentary, appreciate the time and patience put into it. I love that you’re trying to preserve this town, and hope to visit it . I’m putting it in my bucket list . My time on earth is limited, but I really enjoy your taking the time to film this. Godspeed and thank you for allowing me/us to live it with you.
Kara and Nate: Stays in town just for them
Vrbo & Airbnb: What in the world?
I had the dumbest smile on my face watching this video, I love Brent and his channel and the fact that you guys were there with him is so cool! Also, how stinking cute is Tofu!!
Bro
I’ve been watching him sense the beginning of his channel, great to see y’all here with him!
What's crazy is I bet the mine pits are more haunted than the houses on the property
This whole video: ‘what’s something that feels illegal but isn’t?’
HAHAHAHA
🤣
Hi nad!
@@shirinmanuchehri7896 hiiii ahahha
This is crazy cool! What an incredible venture and life story.. We love travelling to ghost towns and have seen some great ones out west. But to live in a ghost town. Wow. Just wow!
Randomly found Brent’s channel last year and been hooked ever since. One of the silver linings of 2020 for me.
wait ... this is amazing, i’ve been following him since the beginning of his journey & y’all for quite some time... 😢makes me so happy to see this featured video! i absolutely love this!! thank you :)
He's literally living the dream for being alone 😭💜
Glad to see he's in good spirits after the fire. I was worried for him for a while.
Love the fact you guys made it to Cerro gordo. We have been watching his channel for a long time. Nice to see two of my favorite RUclips channels together.
We watch both channels separately and to see you two together... EPIC!!!
If he could open a new “ Long Branch” type saloon up there ( in the spirit of Gun Smoke & the old late hotel) , that would help out! What a cool place!
I remember the hotel bottom floor had an old long saloon bar. Upstairs were rooms to rent. I think it was an electrical fire that burned the building down.
Plot Twist: This guy is a ghost 👻
I can assure you he's very real!
Brent ghost ? Nah bro wrong show
I used to watch this guy from when he was starting his adventure and I remember his sad video about the hotel burning down too after he just spent all that time restoring it.
I've watched Brent since he started his Ghost Town Living Channel. He seems to be a great guy! Thanks for doing this video and bringing us along.
My boy Brent blowing up on other peoples' channels!! Been following Brent's channel since the beginning and great to see his story getting out there. Check him out and thank for sharing!!
Love seeing the three sweetest people hanging out. Yall are like the human embodiments of sunshine
All I could think was "how will he ever get the place insured for guests to stay with open mines?" Looks like an awesome place though!
Surely he can have a legal document saying you acknowledge the risks and stuff and youre responsible for yourself?
This is super enjoyable...thanx you guys ! Reminds me of a gold mining ghost town in British Columbia called Barkerville.
“I don’t know if it’s brave or dumb” ME
He is so not crazy, this is amazing, if I wasn't my age I'd volunteer my time to help him, don't know what help I'd be, but I love this history of this place.
Brent is such an amazing guy and have been following his RUclips chanel since the beginning...Awesome video and am glad I came across your guys videos...Thanks for sharing your adventures
This place is a must use for fashion runway shows and concerts. Love the aesthetics and history.
Also Nate telling Kara not to taunt the ghost when she said goodnight to it 😂
I love y’all’s videos so much , it’s gave me and my boyfriend the courage to start traveling the US 😌 we both have been watching you forever 🥺
Nothing like a little Kara and Nate to soothe my soul
Absolutely love watching Brent’s adventures on his channel Ghost town living!!
Finally my favorite couple uploaded a brand new video😍, so excited to watch
It is not the movie "Gunsmoke" that he meant. It is the TV show with James Arness that old people like me remember from CBS.
And me I love gunsmoke the show and westerns or cowboys. I grew up watching them with my dad.
I'm subscribing to both channels! This is my 1st time watching you guys and I love how you tell the story of the place. Can't wait to se more!!!
I really enjoy Brent’s channel. I hope he survives up there !!! You both did an excellent job with coverage... as usual 👍👍
My dream as an introvert
Same here🙋
@@umershaikh8012 agree, it's just something I fantasize sometimes but this guy did it for real lol
Oh my haven’t even got a minutes in and I’m loving it! Yous have got me through so much and it’s always exciting to see the notification that you guys have posted a new video :) 🙂
Been following his channel for a while.. it’s such a wholesome channel. I felt utterly devastated when the hotel burnt down.
Brent has been a source of inspiration and comfort for me and others for more than a year.
I've watched both of you separately for months -- now you're collaborating! Great to see
Been watching brents journey since the beginning, appreciate you giving him the publicity he needs
Oh my goodness!!! I'm new to your channel after hearing you on Eamon and Bec's podcast. I've been following Brent since the beginning, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw you two visited Cerro Gordo! I'm officially subscribing after this! Thanks guys!
Loved this! You have a knack for finding the most interesting locations. Bummed you couldn’t get further into CA though, for Kara’s sake. You would LOVE the Central Coast area.
My social studies teacher would love him she loves history😂
This just made my morning two of my favourite youtubers in one video? I did not expect this video! Ever!!!
Great video! I am enjoying your travels throughout the US! You are again showing us locations and places that we didn't know existed and these locations are definitely easier for us to visit because they're here in the US.
I love that y'all collaborated. I've been hooked on his adventure since he posted his first video.
Loved it!! We’re in complete lockdown here in the UK, so I’m really living my travelling dreams through your channel!
This is the collaboration I was waiting for!
Absolutely love this! And Brent’s got some wicked ideas for the place!! Excited to follow his journey!
This makes me sooooo happy!!! Two of my favorites together...
Mind blown!!!
My claustrophobia was at a peak when you guys were in the mine 😂
ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR VLOGS. PLEASE UPLOAD MORE . WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!!
I have been watching him too since start of lockdown .Nice!
This might not be the most fancy lovely place you stayed , but the most lovely place with purpose to stay & unwind.
I like this guy, he is so friendly and nice. Very interesting listening to him. He took the idea of buying the ghost town and ran with it. I think he is living a great life, I could so stay there. No internet though 🤔. But what a fabulous place to live!!
