Well said! We saw a man's heart break, and it was gut wrenching. Then we watched him get back up, grip tightly to his dreams, and start climbing back up his personal mountain. It storms and rumbles and keeps trying to shake him off, but he just keeps getting up and finding ways over every obstacle. This is a man fighting for his dream like hero, and I don't think anything can stop him. Brent is legendary. ❤

It the good old fashisioned American spirit that this country was built on...theres still a remnant!

Dude... I love this video series. Me and my old man were never close, but one thing I am proud of is we added onto our house by ourselves. my dad spent 25k total on an old trailer on a small bit of land back in 99. We dug our own footers, hand mixed and poured them wheel barrow by wheel barrow. My dad was a mason, and he took any block and concrete from every job that was left over as extras over like 15 years as a mason. The house we build was almost 100% leftover materials from job sites. Hilariously he hauled every bag of cement, and every block for our house from either Denver or colorado springs jobsites down to our house in Canon city in a little dodge neon (after 10 years of this it looked like it had been slammed on shit suspension). we only had a concrete truck here 1 time, to pour the floor for our house. The footers were all hand mixed, the grout was all hand mixed, and miserably... my dad like every other person who is building his own house wanted to overbuild it, so we filled 100% of every single cell of our house full of concrete. We mixed every single bag of concrete by hand... in a wheel barrow... then used buckets to move it from the wheelbarrow up to the top to fill each block. So I fully understand the struggles you guys are going through, and respect the work!! Keep it up!

At some point those investors expect to get their capital plus interest back. Thats what an investor is. Brent mentions volunteers all the time. If they dont want to volunteer, they dont have to. The hotel is how he plans to generate revenue. No hotel, investors probably dont get paid. If workers want payment, thats up to them to negotiate with Brent what they think is fair. Brents original partner pulled out. Instead of throwing in the towel & leaving, he found a way to continue. Not sure why anybody would knock that. Its not like its a luxurious, easy way of life living up there and worrying about all of this. Why be negative? Are you a disgruntled ex partner jealous he is succeeding? Whats it to you?

Nothing makes me more happy to see people from around the area (or even others states) band together and help Brent revive the town. Even when he thinks things like the American Hotel have to be delayed b/c something didn't work out, he kept trying to get it finished asap and sure enough, now he got all the concrete to finish up the foundation. Can't wait to see this town evolve even more over the days, weeks, months, and years!

What a joy and inspiration to be a (virtual) part of your jourmey. Tenacity wins every time, my friend. Cheers!

THANK YOU to all the Volunteers!! Such a blessing to see people come together in this time of the world.

As one of the 'OG' subscribers (of which I'm sure there are many) this is just a wholesome video. To think back at the devastation on Brent's face and the obvious upset in his voice - it was a really hard watch, I was gutted for not only Brent but for the town and the history that quite literally that went up in smoke. From the very early walkaround videos, the hotel was a massively important asset, to see it coming back to life is just wonderful and I can't wait to see the progress. Massive props to all involved.

I don't know if you'll ever read this, Brent, but I really want you to know something important: YES, we observers and, most especially, those who actually show up there to help out, deeply want Cerro Gordo to emerge from its long sleep and breathe deeply of the air in the 21st century as a full-fledged town. That's a given. More importantly, though, it's you and your depthless passion that, to me at least, makes this such an amazing experience. (And I've not been bored for even a New York second during the nearly three years I've been watching you!) No one else could have done this, Brent. PERIOD. So please, when you thank all of us, save a nice big chunk of that thanks for yourself. Because every time I hear you thank us in these drop-dead, way-cool videos, I always feel like answering back, "Thank ME? No-no-NO, Brent. Thank YOU for sharing this dream of yours!" You're one heck of a builder, sir. And THAT, as we used to say in the by-God U. S. Navy, is a "no-shitter."

You are doing so much to preserve American history. I love every second of your show. I think a plaque of some sort where all of the volunteers can sign there name would be a great tribute to those who shared a dream. Thank you for all your have done. Hopefully one day I can come visit your beautiful town and even lend a hand where I can.

It's been a fantastic journey for all of his supporters. I remember when the hotel burned down, you could see how heartbroken he was and we mourned with him. But a new era has begun, the hotel basement is done, next the framing. Everyone has rallied to help Brent fulfill his dream. And despite many setbacks, Brent, you move forward and are an inspiration to many around the world. You are an influencer of people and you show others how to succeed despite hardships. Thank you, Brent, for letting us follow your journey. We, all your subscribers, look forward to what happens next.

When a community such as this sees you are unwilling to fail they will not even let you fail. This is 19th century barn raising mentality alive and well in 2022. This has become far more than a documentary about a ghost town revival. It has grown into a documentary about what it means to be human. Each episode just sends chills up my spine and puts joy in my heart.

I can't even begin to express how much in awe I am of the efforts you guys are making, and all the parts that need to come together to make something like this happen. I just hope that when the hotel is built that you'll have enough funds left over to put in a state-of-the-art fire prevention system! It reminds me a little of when my parents and siblings all chipped in to help build a home in Hawaii, and getting those 50 or so ohia logs hauled up a steep narrow curved driveway, one at a time, in the pickup truck. I had to sit on them in the back to help keep them from sliding off. And there was also all the boulders we had to haul up for the rock walls. At least we were able to get a cement truck up the driveway. Still nothing compared to these guys and the mighty work involved!

Brent, I don't know if it's that you live in such isolation and you spend so much time reflecting upon everything around you, but your choice of words in your monologues, and narration in general, has always been absolutely amazing. The depth of feelings and the introspection on the subject you're covering is profound at times! Keep up the awesome videos, and thanks for sharing your life with all of us!

Great job Brent, bringing this all together. To all the volunteers, thank you for your hard work. To HeavyD for getting this project started and coming through with the water tank and the 5 ton truck.

I think one of the most powerful things about this journey is that it's purely an act of love. Cerro Gordo was built on, if not greed, then the desire for financial success. Even the original hotel was made to capitalise on a market that existed in that moment. But this time, with this community, everyone is pitching in from a desire to preserve and restore. A desire to be a part of something with meaning, to leave their mark on history. And I think that if even an old mining town with a reputation for violence can transform into a project which enriches the lives of the people insted of just their pockets? That's such an important symbol of what humanity can achieve. I'm so glad to have been a part of this journey, even if it's just from the sidelines here on KZread.

I’m so happy for you Brent that the basement concrete pouring got done! That’s a huge step.

I literally got goosebumps watching the ending to this, as it was being built. It’s beautiful and moving. I hope you’re writing a book yourself about this experience.

So happy to see things moving forward. You've had a real tough go of it. But you've persevered so well through everything nature has thrown your way. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Can't wait to see the hotel in person some day.

So proud of you Brent! This is a huge step.

I still remember the video the morning after the hotel burned down . My heart went out to you - and to see this rebirth and of course your amazing moments that teach and remind us all about our common link of humanity , goodness, hope, preservation of what’s come before and betterment for its future. You rock Brent and so does the documenting of your past 3 years , as always bravo .

I love your passion and enthusiasm for Cerro Gordo. Ain't much better than a person who believes deeply in something and making it happen.

Well done Brent and all your volunteers what an amazing crew ,your achievements are inspiring to say the least ,thank you for bringing us along for the ride .

@@castlebravocrypto1615 I love when Sunday rolls back around and I remember that Brent will be posting another video. I really want to visit Cerro Gordo someday. The whole project is so inspirational.

Good to see another video up after all that has happened at Cerro Gordo the last month or so. And even more jazzed to see the basement is complete. Congratulations to Brent and the team.

Nicely done Brent! Great work overcoming all your challenges, this hotel will not only help preserve the history of the original but will also stand to represent your determination and willpower to have a goal and achieve it. Hats off to you my friend!!!

Thank you all for keeping this dream alive.

This is amazing. I always cry a little bit watching the progress and seeing how people come together to make this happen.

When Brent said he didn’t think an online community had ever come together like this to create an entire building (and not just a building, but one that will help the town thrive into the future!) and it really got me. It just speaks to how rare of an occurrence this is - how Brent has brought people together from all over the world purely by the light of his own passion. It’s a lovely thing that I am grateful to be able to witness 🤗

So happy for you and Cerro Gordo seeing this part of the Hotel being complete. it was heart breaking seeing it when it was burnt down. the hotel will be built and can't wait to see it finished. Hats off to a awesome group of people. take care

Congratulations on the wall grout being complete... I very excited to see the final results.

You know Brent, You were so defeated and it was sad to see but all your hard work paid off and people who care about you the most were there with you and wanted to see this done this year and it got done. Were all glad to see this positive happen for you, You deserve it, Heres to you and your team and Cerro Gordo 👏🤝🤜🤛🙌

Brent,you and the rest of the team involved, have shown so much resolve, to complete the American Hotel,that it just gives me goosebumps, to see all the dust of progress continuing to rise on the Horizon. I hope to be able to come make the visit this year,that I have previously inquired of.I will have to see,as time comes closer, as a disabled person, I just do everything that I can possibly do.

So proud of all you guys and gals who had such an awesome can-do attitude to get this concreting job done. And proud of all of us here in virtual land sending all the positive forces we can conjure. We're living and breathing this project with you Brent! Bravo!

Mobilizing a huge heap of resources, nurturing the dream, pulling together a wide circle of like-minded individuals, overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds and leading it all towards the realization of a vision is the best possible thing humans can do. It creates a powerful, precious bond amongst all of those involved as well as melding people with the environment in which you all have toiled - it is beautiful and life-giving. To be able to stand back and say: "Look at what we did!" That is why we do what we do. Knowing the pure joy of big work done well.

Every time I watch a Cierra construction video, I can’t help but rack my brain. Trying to figure out a way of making the task easier. I love construction, and am fascinated with the ways and processes of the different trades. I desperately wish I can volunteer on the American Hotel one day. Or maybe another project. Brent! I love your drive, patience, and work ethic! I want to grow up to be like you!
