Save pennies (and nickels, dimes, quarters) that normally get spent. I remember a family effort that we combined all of our change in a Liberty Bell 20 liter glass jug. We turned the bottom up, and rolled the change to produce $1500 to pay for our first big trip out west. It would take 10 times that now, for the same trip, but it can be done. My wife and I are planning on coming out and seeing the place for a few days, probably next year after she's recovered from surgery. It's a part of America history.

I bought 40 acres four years ago at 4,000' on the U.S./CA border in north central WA, near the town of Molson (Molson Beer). Molson was a gold mining and timber town. Hiking around the property, I came across a gold mine shaft. I contacted the previous owners about it, and they had no idea it was there. It is completely hidden in the forest, and I walked by it a half dozen times and never saw it. At the entrance to the mine is the skeletal remains of a deer carcass, and there are bear prints around the entrance as well. I'm a little nervous about going in and being between a bear who wants to get out and the way out.

economic desperation causes both crime and people to do very hard, risky things to make ends meat. Respect the people that had to do it, but never respect the conditions that forced it.

I so enjoyed this video as I do all of them. I'm absolutely in love with Cero Gordo and you are the luckiest man on earth to own it and the history that goes with it. So thank you for sharing this with us ❤️

You have done so much since the last time I watched one of your videos!! It’s looks amazing 🤩 I really should come up there! I live in Los Angeles so not crazy far. I love watching your videos you put so much work into them and everything you do. You honestly motivate me to do better and to live a life I love 💕 your videos make me feel better about myself and my life. U should be a life coach!! Bet u could help so many people, oh wait your doing that already. And what’s so cool is your doing it in your way. See I need to do that. Something I love but make it a community and help other people enjoy their life doing something they ❤️

I've always thought you should hold a race to Cerro Gordo and when you mentioned that, I was hyped!! I have friends who are race directors in Stallion Springs but they organize races all over! How ever you decide to organize it, I'm sure it'll be epic!

@@palatina6626 Sure! Just like the alpacas! Donkeys are good protection for the other animals and they are able to reproduce. If there were mules there before then there were donkeys and horses as well. *The mule is a domestic hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare).

Brent you should do multiple commercials per video or as many as you can to make all the money possible for the sake of cg. I fully support you making as much money as possible and will do all I can to help and buy shirts

Hey Brent. Although its been two + years now of your Cerro Gordo adventure, it never gets tiresome when you bring us along via the video experience. When I'm at work, sometimes having a tough day, all I have to do on break is tune you in, and your happenings always lift my spirit. Thank you Brent, and I can't wait to hear your piano recital when the hotel opens. Be safe my friend. Regards, Michael

Amazing, you've come a long way and I was lucky enough to be watching that hike up a cyn. to a broken cabin on a hillside. You caught my attention. The film festival and period dress sounds like a hoot. You've shown that one can put their mind on a project and make it happen. I'm part of your audience, but plan on being a participant. Till we meet!
