It has been 1695 days that I have been living up here, in the abandoned mining town of Cerro Gordo! My goal from day 1 has been to bring life back to this old ghost town and make it a place people could come and enjoy for years to come.
After some initial setbacks, it feels like we’re getting closer every month. This month was no different. We did some winter preparation, brought fast Internet throughout the whole town, prepared for some future disasters, and even learned some really interesting history. A great month up here!
Thank you all for the support!

Call the truck Ole Yeller
Name the truck…OZ, or Ozzie from the yellow brick road. It's a beautiful piece to add to the town.
The truck has to be named old yellow (yeller)

Why didn't you just put a plow on the 5-ton?
Transparency is a must when dealing with glass companies Brent!
The Yellow Peril looks pretty cool. Call it Bob..
The Ubiquiti stuff is so good and so easy! I wish they'd sponsored this.
I'd name her Peach🍑
My vote is to name it Big Bird.
Brent, you've come a long way since you've moved there. You are the Mile Stone for Cerro Gordo! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it with you.
Controlling the flow of the water is your key to saving the road.
If you are aware of the work of the "Water Wizard" Viktor Schauberger it will make more sense.
Here's a documentary if not.

Essentially your road is a river. If you engineer the pathway you can control the force.
Reducing the energy/frequency with obstacles/diversion along the way, may prevent it from damaging to the road.
Filming the road from above next time in that narrow section will allow one to best see where to place the material.
Finding an engineer with Schauberger training would be ideal, but you could figure it out on your own with a little research.
They have engineered river ways before to prevent them from taking out the roads next to them, I assume the principles will work as well when your road is the river way…
Otherwise, it might be a good time to consider restoring the tram.

Yellow brick road!!
Since an atmospheric river is headed your way, looks like you'll have a good opportunity to test your winter preparations!
great video
The dreams and the adventures continue. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Definitely name the plow old yeller
The Snow monster !!!
love your videos – always look forward to these dropping; the challenges you take on, the scenery, your application of logic and philosophy on top of it are awesome. can't wait to see that snowplow in action!
I've been watching for awhile and truly enjoy seeing how both your town and you have grown and adapted to the rebirth. I most enjoy watching your underground adventures!!!
You definitely make me smile. Yours is very contagious!
I can’t think of a better name than Goldbug. She reminds me of the character from the book Cars and Trucks and things that go, a childhood favorite of mine. She’s a mothering figure, a savior in times of doubt, a lovely addition to the mine and always a treasure. Goldbug will faithfully serve the mining town for the rest of her years. And most importantly, as in the book, she will appear on every remaining page of the mines history.
Name the plow El Jefe 😊
She looks like a BERTHA lol
I live 15 min from Cerro Gordo, in Illinois but apparently it got its name from some general in the battle who settled here.
Names….
