The 3 Year Journey of Reviving A Ghost Town

[@claramullen]

Brent I just can't express enough how many people admire your passion and commitment to your dream at Cerro Gordo you are an amazing person.

[@GhostTownLiving]

Thank you so much! I appreciate all the support so much. It's been a journey and I thank everyone for being here for it.

[@mobiousenigma]

@@GhostTownLiving inspiring journey you are on . i think water is key to your ambitions, and water management on a grand scale will be the backbone to success . a little research into perma culture and greening the desert will yield the basic theory... slow down the water and force it back into the land making the area green again and reducing washout events to the road ,it means a lot of digging but i think the road needs protecting that way at least, thanks for the videos

[@gages1944]

Hi, from Northeastern PA. As a fellow believer in historical conservation, I've always loved your content and your dream of bringing Cerro Gordo back to life. This is my contribution to Cerro Gordo and that dream.

[@joshusthegreat]

You seemed so overwhelmed with everything, yet you just keep going. It's amazing to see the hotel coming to life. Congratulations, you tireless work is paying off.

[@northernKaizer]

Dont forget brent your not just keeping history alive there, your creating it. In 100 years your name will be right along side the others as a big piece of cerro gordos history

[@PS-rr2jt]

This whole story is a testament to resilience, persistence and spirit. It’s been a wonderful journey so far.

[@haemhorrhoidian]

This makes me happy 🙂 i remember when the American Hotel burned down,and i remember seeing a man torn to the core with grief, i have to say i was torn for that man myself, what a terrible thing to see, the loss of so much history and hope in such a beautiful place 😞 now,i'm from the UK,i'll probably never visit Cerro Gordo in the years i have left but believe me i would love to,i would love to get my hands dirty putting back what's been lost,it would be a shitload of fun,and so so worth while,you can take your NY's,and your LA's any day,they're not for me,there's an amazing thing happening in a little ghost town above Death Valley National Park that will fill anyone full of hope,you keep at it Brent,you're an inspiration across the globe,everytime i see an upload i can't wait to know more 🙂 keep at it Dude.

[@MarkoMygun]

Yes Brent when you finally get to open the doors for the first time it's going to be a Glorious time for you. And for sure emotional ,thank you for taking us along with you to see the progress. It's been a joy.

[@GhostTownLiving]

Thank you for checking out the video!

[@PeppieP]

It should be LIVE the day or night that The American Hotel opens its doors, we can all raise a glass (water, alcohol whatever you drink) and celebrate together. ❤❤❤

[@DonariaRegia]

@@GhostTownLiving The original hotel bears a striking resemblance to the hotel in Silver Dollar City. Sadly the original interior was gutted to convert it into a store. All the old woodwork, the front desk and even the rooms upstairs (roped off) were all there when I was a sprout. But take a look at historical images and you'll see how similar the two building were. The new American Hotel looks to be a grand place from the footprint. Nature has tested you the same as it tested the original miners and merchants. Your purpose is pure and there will be many good years ahead!

[@teepeeX]

@@GhostTownLiving maybe some wood from other places could make up bits in hotel even if it's just framing picture's

[@MechanaholicsCreations]

That energy will still be there. It's soaked into the ground the original once stood on, and once it's built, the soul of that place can live on!

[@BlueYiperoo]

I can't wait for the hotel to be completely finished, and up and running. You're in my prayers.

[@gailbutler483]

It takes a person with a huge vision to galvanize and attract others to contribute to manifesting the Big Vision. In this case, it is you, Brent, who holds the Big Vision that inspires others to want to share in it. Yay! Congrats on your progress on the American Hotel...this Phoenix is rising from her own ashes!

[@GhostTownLiving]

Thanks so much Gail! It's really been beautiful to see all the people making their own Cerro Gordo memories in helping this place come back to life. Hopefully for many more generations to come!

[@atheenas5443]

I love that you put some old nails in! I would get the rest of them put into a resin countertop for the bar in the hotel. You could even put other random things you found after the fire into it, if you have enough stuff left you could possibly do all the countertops in the hotel that way. It would be neat!

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Awesome idea!!!

[@markd3250]

The media, especially what's called the 'mainstream' media is usually so depressing, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see and hear what you're doing in this video. This is what the spirit of America was and is all about. You have my prayers for your success and I wish you the very very best! Great job!

Watching you channel for two years now has given me the positive attitude on no matter what has been going on and im sure it will do the same for years to come. Thanks to you ive learned so much on basically surviving day by day and yet still being positive about every outcome. I wish the best of luck and the best of life for you. You deserve truly deserve it.

Mega inspirational, Brent that's who you are. A true American, with the good ol' American spirit of "can do - will do". Love what you do, how you present it and what the finished product will be. Keep doing what you're doing, we all LOVE it.

[@servicedogkyzanna1761]

Hi, Brent- I think I can speak for everyone, when I tell you that you have us all invested so emotionally in this story, and that we are all pulling so very hard for you to be successful! You are just so honest and forthcoming, and want the best for everything- we can't help but want that for you and everything that you want- From the mining center of Colorado- I sit 20 feet above the Pikeview Mine, The Westmoreland Mining Company was the biggest business around here until it shut it's doors in 1957. We have had sinkholes open up in driveways and backyards, and the swimming pool at the park has to be reinforced with concrete underneath it on a regular basis, because it is above tunnels- one would think that would preclude the weight, but the city goes ahead with it, the last time just shored it up with 20 tons of concrete under it. In any event, have a wonderful day!

[@derwynmdockenjr]

I love you Brent! Happy Valentine's Day brother! Couldn't be more happy for you with this much deserved progress! Happy Days!!!

[@72PRODIGALSON]

As someone who LOVES history, I feel we should ALL thank YOU, Brent, for giving us a look from 150+yrs ago and inviting us in to explore it, see it, and even visit it. YOU are a true treasure, to those of us who love history and times of old that were here LONG before any of us and will be here LONG after we're all gone. So thank you, Brent, for inviting us into your life, your town, and your home. We appreciate you.

[@Tammy824]

Just a suggestion...about the nails from the American Hotel that burned. We were thinking that it would really be cool if you would instead of putting them in the actual build of the new Hotel, that you could put them in an art project instead so people could actually see them. You could incorporate them into a piece of furniture using epoxy resin or fabricate a shadow box or picture of some sort to put on the wall using them. Just a thought. We enjoy your videos. Great job!

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

I appreciate your messages of positivity, Brent!!! Your words help me through challenging times in my personal life. That opening day will be a new huge part of Cerro Gordo’s history going forward for decades to come. 🤗❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦

LOVE your channel and it always brightens my day when a new video is posted. Your filming is beautiful and commentary is so inspiring. Please reach out to some portable battery bank companies like Anker, Jackery, etc.. and ask them for some decent sized battery bank units to charge your devices and Starlink for internet. Also, contact some Solar & Wind companies for a solar and wind turbine setup for even more power up there. Missouri Wind & Solar makes some great kits. Have you thought of Rain Catchment on some of the buildings that would feed into the big water reservoir? Berkey makes great counter top water filtration units to make the captured rainwater drinkable. More cabins and campsites on the back side of town is a great idea. Visitors and volunteers could come up and RENT the cabins / campsites. Continued success LONG into the future.
