    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.

    Being a previous farm owner of alpacas I suggest you put fans on the alpaca if your temperature is 105 degrees. Even though they’re sheared they still get hot. If that’s not possible, hose their chest, legs and under bellies down with water to cool them off being careful not to get coat wet. They are sweet animals.

It should be done with extra precautions for fire safety as well as it involves incense and burning offerings. I believe your viewers will be pleased to see the cultural respect you are giving to the immigrants who sacrificed their lives there.

    When I worked in a gold mine I was shown , first thing, how to walk out (in case the hoist stopped working or cave in). I was told all mines are required to have a way to walk out. I would fill the skiff and ride it, Indiana Jones style, to the main shaft and dump it. It would then be hoisted to the crusher. Loved turning off my lamp and just standing in the dark listening to the water drip

I truly would love to come up there in the fall and help you with whatever I can help you with. Just to see if I can get that kid back. Everything you’re doing is everything I loved to do as a kid. Exploring, building, finding new avenues for my insatiable appetite for adventure. Something I would love to do again, Even if it takes me to the end of my life I will have ended it the way that I started it.

    If you ever end up running power down into the mine, consider running 4 wire 220. It will give you a lot of flexibility in terms of using equipment, and operating 220 electronics and also 110 electronics.

    Great show, Brent. Your energy and devotion to Cerro Gordo is saving the town. It’s remarkable what you are doing there. Whatever you do, don’t burn out, because without your efforts to make it’s revitalization self sustaining, it will go back to dust. I like your ideas in having a film festival and the crazy bike race to the town. I know our little Kansas town hosts the Dirty Kanza bike race through the Flint Hills and it’s very successful today and it started out as a dream… Keep dreaming.

    You are amazing and inspirational Brent. Like all folk we live work and die. What I find inspirational about you is that you more than imagine the lives of the people, you take us on their journey. You encourage everyone to achieve being the best of what they can desire. Working down a mine shaft would be my worst nightmare, but in the UK we had them also. Shocking fact for the UK is the last pit pony/horse was retired as recently as May 1999. I just put that in because you clearly love animals also. Pretty grim for animals in those days. All the best, look forward to more.
