This past year was amazing! Cerro Gordo has come from an abandoned ghost town to a lively town buzzing with progress and potential. Here is a look back at all that happened in 2023.
Thank you all so much for all the support over the years! You all are the reason this town is thriving and I can't say thank you enough.
Also - I wrote a BOOK!
If you've ever got anything out of this channel, I hope you'll consider pre-ordering the book. It is a HUGE way to show support for everything going on and would mean the world to me.

As someone that's watched the whole time. I'm more impressed with your self growth then the town growth you have accomplished so much its amazing
The real treasure of Cerro Gordo is not silver,gold or old jeans it’s Brent himself, cause without him it would still be a ghost town!
Amen & thanks for pointing out the real hero. I've met him & he's a real grounded dude . Good. People
and his joyfulness, it's really lovely to watch. plus I want to meet the cats. and maybe the goats. would love to record in the studio one day.
damn, dude, that's cringy, but true
My favorite Cerro Gordo thing of 2023 was the return of Owens Lake.
Happy New Year Brent! Let’s make 2024 the biggest year yet for Cerro Gordo!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's no longer a ghost town Brent, it's a museum and by the sounds of it, it may become a partially worked mine again. You have moved on and grown so much since your Wall Street days.
What you (and so many other involved) have done is a miracle.
Happy New Year mate.
A living Museum.
Brent's breathed so much life into this town and built a community around like no one else could.
he can actually be the mayor of the town invite people to live in there make the town grow, I say why not?
@@user-zz1dy7uq2b There are logistical problems with that and the problem of supplying enough water. But, It's possible. It would be nice if the corporate monsters never got their hands on it
Hey Brent, I've been going to the Owens Valley for the last 55+ years, with the sole purpose of killing trout. I also have spent the last 35 years working in the art glass industry. For all my trips to the valley I would drive by the buildings that once were the Pittsburg Glass Plant on the west side of Owens Lake. I haven't been up there in a couple of years, so I don't know if the buildings are still there. If they are, it would be great if you could do one of your field trips there and give a bit history while exploring.... Love your channel....
This may seam like a strange question, but why do you kill trout? To eat, or pest management?
Bullshit.
And u came here today with the sole purpose of bot spamming lol.
@@doc-illahis account is 11 years old so probably not a bot but this is his first comment on the channel. All these details are easily discovered by clicking on the account name
Did he mean catching 😂
I'm thankful I found Brent's CZcams channel back when he started, seeing him grow to the man he is and the stuff he's done is crazy.
Totally agree
Im so glad that Jean Ray went back to cerro gordo for one last time.... She is in heaven and smiling at your adventures and progress with cerro gordo... R.I.P. Jean Ray.... You are loved and missed.... Doc

Happy New Year Brent. I've been watching from the start and spent the start of this year, still in bed, watching this video, dreaming of one day being there. I ordered your book and waiting for it's release. Being 70 , I'm running out of time to make it there. Please just keep my dreams alive with your wonderful videos. Thank you.
Your story has inspired me, as well as Brent’s rebirth of Sarag Gordo. I wish you wellness and the opportunity to be able to withstand a trip to Sara Gordo to meet Brent. I think it’s a goal you should consider before your depression.
It truly does take a village to bring the town/village of Cerro Gordo back to life. Thanks to your vision and dedication, Brent, and thanks to all the awesome and skilled helpers, Cerro Gordo shines and sparkles again like the precious jewel it is 🌟
Wishing everyone, including the lovely animals, a healthy and happy New Year 💛
Nice recap Brent, Thanks ... Best wishes toward an even better 2024 🍻 Cheers!
praying for progress on the hotel and the safety of you and all the great people helping you chase this crazy dream!
The town would be a great location for Astro Photography fans as the town is located at a high altitude and has very little to no light pollution.
It looks like the roof got covered. A little less stress for you this winter.
Thanks for this extraordinary film worthy of a documentary award.
Thank you for posting Brent you made my New New Year's Eve🎉
Happy New Year, Brent and Cerro Gordo. May she be good to us all
The year round up videos are always my favorite
Dropped by in September of '21. Inspiring, the quantity and quality of the work on the town, the videos, and the exploration. Here's to a great 2024!
I hope you're finally able to get through one of the many collapses throughout the mines in 2024. It will be real interesting to see what's on the other side. Keep up the great variety of entertaining videos. It's a joy to watch.
My Family and I have watched you since you started . Its been awesome to see how much you and the town have changed. God bless you in 2024 Happy new year
Amazing journey. So much looking forward to 2024.
The Omega tunnel would be convenient, but even they weren't willing to spend the money to make it safe. It looks like one huge collapse waiting to happen.
Hello Brent, HI! from West Virginia. I'm so excited for you and Cerro Gordo moving forward ,making things happen with such positivity. It's sad to hear Gene's passing away. Her giving incite to real life Cerro Gordo. Her stories were so wonderful to hear .it looks like everything there is looking good. May your 2024 , awesome as 2023 was. HAPPY NEW YEAR!. May God bless you and Cerro Gordo , in all you pursue there. Keep those videos coming. I've watched since you began. What a treat to see your life in Cerro Gordo. Thank you for sharing your trials and tribulation. God Bess.
😩 I found your channel a month or so ago, because I follow HeavyD. I binged watched all of your videos. They gave me so much anxiety when you were in the tunnels 😂. However, also weirdly calming. Now I'm sad that there hasn't been anymore 😢. Please post some new ones. Hope you are doing well!
You showed up in my Recommended feed, & I was hooked! Enjoying the progress & journey- thanks for sharing!
🙏🏻💪🙏🏻

@Torchlakegirl
Welcome to the Family it's been amazing to see Cerra Gordo along with Brent and the whole community grow. And when you have time you should start from the beginning because it's an awesome story. Cheers

What an epic journey Brent! I would love to come down to see Cerro Gordo for a day or two. Lake Tahoe here. Just about 4 hrs away. Keep up the great work! 👍
Great look back. Best wishes for a healthy and productive 2024.
It’s amazing how far you have come. The history and now living history you are making will bring the place to life.
Followed you since day 1 and it's amazing to see the accomplishments despite some horrendous setbacks, Keep on keeping on Brent! Btw, there's at least one Cerro Gordo T shirt tramping across the Welsh Mountains. You have a far reaching effect ol' boy :)
Brent, thank you for including Phil, (and Wade) in the videos. I really appreciate you allowing him to be a part of your amazing project, and helping to give him pride and purpose. Patiently awaiting my copy of your book! Stay safe!
I have to say Brent this is my favorite show to watch on CZcams always looking forward to watch what you do next. Take Care and God Bless You.
Happy New Year Brent! I believe Owen's lake came alive again because of you, because of the energy and life you are breathing back into Cerro Gordo and Keeler. And the way you are inspiring and allowing others to do the same. Really beautiful and amazingly powerful journey you have been on and I look forward to the privilege of following along for another year!
Glad to see them putting on the roof. Happy New Year
Looking forward to all 2024 brings! And very excited for the second annual Cerro Gordo Silver Run!
Brent you are such an inspiration. Amazing all of the milestones that were accomplished in 2023! Thank you for all you are doing and sharing.
Hi Brent! As always, I look forward to your videos. Even the yearly re-caps. Keep up the good work and keep the faith.
Congratulations on all of the progress this past year. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings for our favorite little desert mining town. Happy new year to you, all the volunteers, and all of the people who follow this channel.
What a way to start the year
An hour or This Years History!
Great recap. I cried with the Jeanray interview. So sweet to hear her memories. JIT❤
I can hardly wait to see what 2024 will bring! HAPPY NEW YEAR! ❤😊
What a year! Cerro Gordo has added enjoyment to my life and I have been introduced to so many nice people and great experiences. Thank you!
A Happy New Year to you Brent. I enjoy watching your videos. Im amazed at your adventures into the mines and traveling the goat trails and dusty roads around your town. It is not a ghost town any longer since you took over its guardianship. Have a great New Year.
Your videos bring me back to the place I feel in love with over 30 years ago. The Eastern Sierra Mountain Range is a view tattooed in my soul. Your dedication and hard work to Cerro Gordo is nothing short of amazing. All the best to you in the new year!
Great job Brentand I’m wishing you a very Happy New Year!!!
Great video. RIP Gene Ray. What a nice old lady. I can't wait until Spring so you can grow the garden with the stuff I sent. Happy new year Brent.
Amazing progress Brent. It's been an adventure keeping up with. Keep digging an have a wonderful new Year.
brent, happy new year. your efforts are important to me. thank you for your content. best wishes.
the way he delt with moving the bar is so cringe inducing. he is laterally a millionaire he should have had professionals move it for him.
Happy New Year Brent. Hope to see more collaboration videos with your amazing group of friends like @Danhurd and Jason from @mbmllc plus many more incredible humbled and kind friends you have. Was great learning from the adventures you have had thus far. I cannot wait for more informative and educational video's from your next year exploring the labyrinth of Cerro Gordo. Thank you. God Bless
Happy New Year, Brent! Love you to bits, man, hope your 2024 is stellar!
Happy New Year, Brent! Looking forward to seeing your new adventures in and around Cerro Gordo!
This was a fantastic wrap up and what a great year you've had Brent. Huge challenges that you've met and conquered with your usual persistence and determination, triumphs in the form of ongoing hotel construction, timber harvesting amd milling for the music studio and continued mine exploration. Always entertaining, always inspiring. Well done on your many achievements and good luck in 2024. From Australia, we'll be watching!
Happy New Year Brent. I expect that you will have amazing further progress on the property. I watch in awe every video of yours. Thank you.
Happy new year Brent 🍻🎇 greetings from the netherlands
Happy new year Brent and Jason, may you find all kinds of gold and silver!
Before your videos I never knew that people could go sledding in California it looks so much fun
Happy New Year Brent! I have loved watching the miracle rebuilding of Cerro Gordo. What an amazing job you have done. It truly is a wonder to watch. I am looking forward to 2024. God's blessing and safe keeping to all at Cerro Gordo from Maple Grove Minnesota!
6:05, when he says he sees a little exit sign he gets excited it’s like me exploring a mineshaft in Minecraft
Happy New Year Brent! I pray 2024 brings water to Cerro Gordo, that the American Hotel welcomes it's first guests, and I pray you find treasures in your mines that brings you good fortune and prosperity 😍🥰❤️
I'm seeing a skid steer with tracks in this man's future
Hey Brent, truly amazing projects you've got going, congratulations on all of your achievements, its no longer a ghost town, it's a town! May the best happen for you, and for those who go and visit! Happy new Years!
Happy New Year Brent I hope everything goes well for and Cerro Gordo in 2024.
Happy New Year , Brent. Been great following your adventures during 2023 . Looking forward to 2024's challenges and adventures.
Happy New Year buddy, keep the Ghost Town Going! I can't wait to see it in person with the wife!
Happy new year! 2024 will be fruitful for this old mining town. It was a pleasure to come experience it myself, and was my favorite part of 2023. Looking forward for what’s to come. Cheers 🥂
This video brought me so much peace and enjoyment on a really tough week. Great interspersing of the storytelling with beautiful scenery, interesting endeavors , and great camera work. Thank you Brent.
- That’s a really fruitful 2023 for Cerro Gordo , hopefully 2024 will get things even better & bless America Hotel to receive its first new guest !
The only problem with sleding down the back road, the further down you sled down the hill the further you need to hike to get back to the top.
Happy new year! And hopefully the town is revived!
That sled looked like aLOT of fun. 😂
Can't believe it's been 4 years already. I've been watching since the first show. Truly wish I could be there to help once in a while. Or to be able to do something like this.
But with a bad back, the best I can do is watch you and cheer you on. And get some ideas for some stuff to do around my house (100years old). I figure if you can do as much as you do basically being off grid, I should be able to things being on grid.
You are such an inspiration.
Happy New Year
Wishing you the very best in the coming year. Stay safe.
Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings!
1:11:37 Happily, Cerro Gordo's Head Honcho doesn't leave us with a New Year 2024 cliffhanger! Preview of Coming Attractions, right here! So happy you're nearing your June 2020 Resolution to bring back the American Hotel, Mach II! :D 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙆🏻🙆🏻♂🙆🏻♀✅🥳🥳🎉🎉🥳🥳🎉🎉
With the beginning of a new year, a precious opportunity unfolds before us. May 2024 be a year characterized by unwavering health, enduring happiness, and sustainable success for us all. Let's allow our deepest wishes and dreams to blossom and come true this year. We close the door to the past, ready to embark on this exciting new adventure with fresh enthusiasm and a reservoir of energy. Here's to an extraordinary 2024 that surpasses all our expectations!
I keep thinking you could take a shipping container and merge it with the entrance of a hillside mine that's not treacherous, it would be a cool lounge/ attraction entrance
Dearest Brent, you are a true pioneer. Your spirit is so strong & your vision & drive are inspiring. I am disabled, so my visits to Cerro Gordo are through your channel. An idea for the special hiking trail: in the future, simple wooden benches at some of the sites with the best view?
Many blessings to all for 2024.
Here's another idea, you are pulling dirt to fill the road right next to the road. Contact Heavy D because he has a Black Hawk helicopter. He might be able to do a helicopter drop of dirt and large gravel into the road. Then you could have a larger and thicker base for the road. Sound's like a good idea but then again what do I know.
I have found that being an "OWNER" of ones house massively compromises ones life with many additional things to do. Owning a "town" would be an impossible problem.
Hi Brent, what the country needs are Brent clones to rebuild the hundreds of ghost towns that need saving. Brent needs to write a recipe on how to restore a town. A ghost town flag and flag pole. Great job Brent. 🤗🙏
Use the right building material for winter conditions. There, you will need to use electronic solar batteries and a wind generator to heat your house on the mountain. Once upon a time there were trees for firewood or coal.. then oil for fuel.. But alternative energy should be used. In winter, drinking water is usually stored in cellars. In the basement, as well as the insulation of the hangar, a thermos to store water. Because the outside cistern for water storage is frozen at zero in winter. Or we need to find a water pipe. We need to make a deep water well near the mine. A simple case for a deep well. You just have to look at the geological layer where the water migrates into the ground. You will be able to use a deep-bore water well there. A climate where there is always water is a good place for you. Water is located depending on the soil layer from 15 meters to 50 meters to 200 meters. It is possible to do it. You just have to look at it logically. I'm from a🌎---->🌍 northern Scandinavian country across the sea on the Atlantic side. That's why I see how you malachians are renovating the old mining village. Museum . History. Good luck to the rest of you in 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍😎
What an exciting year. absolutely loved the bar move adventure, wood milling and the gold melting.
I hope the weather held out for the hotel roof, and I look forward to your update on that. I think my least favorite part was the burial areas. A problem I know is tough to address. Should a memorial be set up despite not having one specific cemetary? Thats the question. I do worry when you explore alone in the mines imagining collapses, seems so risky but I love minerals so I enjoy seeing them raw and polished. Please invest in some better equipment to cut and polish you deserve it. As someone else in the comments said Cerro Gordo is a living museum and I would love to visit one day! Thank you for all you do, your book seems very sucessful-congratulations!
Happy 2024🎉
Brent, You have had another eventful year in your journal, mission ,and dreams.Happy New Year ,God Bless and stay safe.
Brent, it is not a ghost town, it is a town that is getting an uplift in the positive. More exploration that you will be doing plus improving the site. Cannot wait till 2024 to see what else you find and when the hotel gets done. Stay safe, warm/cool, and blessings. Have a safe Happy New Year.
.
Happy New Year Brent and everyone here!
🎉❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸
Incredible place, You are braver that me, I could never go down into a mine.
one good thing for trail setting/making is a small gravel rake about a foot wide
Love the long form content!!! ❤
Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈 Brent,the CG team,family,friends and all subscribers 🍾🥂🎉🍻🫶🏻🍷🪅🍸
HAPPY NEW YEAR. I'M GLAD YOU'RE DOING SO WELL ON THE HOTEL. ANOTHER ONE IN THE BOOKS GOD. GOD BLESS YOU
Hi Brent! Happy to see you, wishing you a happy 2024!
The best way to clear out that collapse is with some electric tools: 1, an electric rotary tiller, 2, the obligatory electric rock drill, and 3, an electric powered wheel barrow.
Then you could pull the rock loose, break up the larger chunks, and then wheel it to the lift.
From there, put sand bags or a really big tote in place on the elevator and haul it out, little at a time, and expect the task to take many weeks, unless you have a lot of volunteers to help you.
Happy 2024! Looking forward to a great year!!! 🎉
Happy New Year Brent, Steven, Gene, JT !!! I am so happy to have been there with you guys, it was a moment to Remember and I will be back !!!
How time flies. I think you were less than 6 months in when I Joined your family. You've come a long way! Good job Brent! May Your New Year Be Blessed and Bountiful! See you next year!
Happy new year 🎉 best wishes for 2024 with all your projects. you can soon call it ....... WAS A GHOST TOWN brought back to life.
You should use some of those boards to make benches on that hike to the top of mountain.❤❤
Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing and happy New Year!
I HOPE YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
My book is on order due to be sent out March 19th, Looking forward to 2024,
