  • Hey everyone! This week I am back after my longest break yet with some happenings from around town. As always, I was in the mines, exploring on my dirtbike, and even had a visit from someone very important to Cerro Gordo's past and future!
    Thank you all so much for the support as I try to find a better balance of release schedule. It's winter up here, so everything is a bit slower and that is giving me an opportunity to recharge a bit and get ready for an exciting Spring and Summer.

      Spread informaton about putin`s agression, demand sanctions and military support from your governments.
      We have many nuclear plants that could be targeted to russian bombs. it would be catastrophe to whole planet. Russians occupied Chernobyl - it may end badly, act now.
      We need your support, our military will do the rest.

We see it in how much you try to give back to a location. you are learning to live on “island time” seeing the long game as a real thing. I am happy you got away perspective comes with distance. When you set yourself up as the living embodiment of a ghost town the only thing to be wary of is becoming a ghost yourself. Thanks Brent

    @joanna_adler Před 2 lety +5

    First off, I'm SO glad you took some time away from Cerro Gordo. We missed your videos, but it's ALWAYS good to take mental breaks and the last thing any of us want is for you to get burned out! Mental health breaks are good for the soul.
    Secondly, I love that you did a time capsule. I almost wish you wouldn't have told anyone about it and I hope you did throw off the trail with a lot of incorrect clues. ;) My husband and I bought a 1960's house in Las Vegas back in June. A few weeks ago we decided to reface the fireplace since I couldn't get the smell of cigarettes out of the stone after four scrubbings. Turns out it's fake stone. But there was plywood behind the stone that was probably the cause...and behind the plywood was more fake stone! But also there was a storage area (which I thought there might be) and low and behold it was filled with old cabinets, wiring from a stereo system, a 1960's MAGNAVOX TV (!!!), an old Pepsi can (the kind that you open with a church key), and some old juice bottles that likely date back to the late 50's or early 60's. SO, as we rebuild the facade - now with a wet bar to the side - I've put a time capsule of my own back into the wall. It has a letter about the house, pictures from when we bought the house, pics from the demolition of the fireplace, and a note about where we might put another time capsule as we have plans for another remodel in the future. I love finding this stuff! I love thinking about all the people who have lived here and what they have done in their lives. Nothing like Cerro Gordo's richer history, but just as fun to think about. :)

    I can’t get over the scenery there. It’s so beautiful, and it’s something that before this channel, I thought you could only see in other parts of the world, but now I know that one of the most beautiful places is in the us. It just took a second to realize and take it in.

      I'm so in love with the desert southwest.. I dont have enough years left to see everything i would love to see there. People think its this barren, desolate place. Its just different.. I'm intrigued by all the people who went ahead in some of the remote places.. And stayed trying to strike it rich for years... There's literally hundreds of abandoned mining camps everywhere.. So much untouched history..

    Thanks for the update Brent. Bet it was quite the mental shock to get out to Florida. I remember spending months in a cabin with the only action being listening to winter ice cracking across the lake. To go back to a noisy city was almost surreal and one finds themselves yearning to go back to the special quiet of the natural world again. Cheers! Glad you took a break!😊

What you have undertaken in the last 22 months has been off the scale and It wouldn’t be at all surprising if at times it’s appeared to be too much. Your passion and determination for Cerro Gordo has never been underestimated and if anyone deserved a break it was you. Your intention to take time out and appreciate what first drew you to Cerro Gordo is without question the right thing to do. I wish you all the very best. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

Your realization whilst having a dream you need a life balance. We are here watching from all over the world ( I'm in Australia ) watching what you are achieving is amazing. Please make sure Brent's inner needs are fulfilled If that means just admiring where you are or travelling to anywhere to experience a break away from Cerro Gordo to recharge.
