HE BOUGHT AN ABANDONED GHOST TOWN (full tour)

cabin. The hill over there is pretty far away, so I started working on that first because I thought the stakes were less, like if I messed up that cabin, at least no one would be able to see it, yeah, it's not like in the middle, so I gained my trust. over time and now yes, now this is like a bigger project, you know it's going to be like everything, come on, it's like one of the original bars in the city, so they would stomp on Cerro Gordo, that way if someone got caught with the bar that the bar wasn't supposed to have, yes obviously they would be in a lot of trouble, this is a mix of silver, silver and lead, yes even if you told me that bar cost ten thousand dollars I would still keep it just because it's part. of the history here and yeah, I haven't seen any other fat silver bars since, I feel like they have quite a head start from here, yeah, how much land do you like?

How many acres do you know the property is approximately 400 acres? Okay, about 100 of them are here, so you'll like it. peaks and valleys above us and then if we were to go to the saddle right there, you would look out over Death Valley National Park and we have about 300 acres there and originally this building was like a machine shop to work on the cars and those things. over the years it became a church and the stained glass windows filmed a movie here called Nevada Smith, it was a Steve Mcqueen movie like an old western and they donated the stained glass windows after finishing the movie, don't even trust a friend, like that One of the owners incorporated that and now it's like a movie chapel mix.

I think it would be funny to have some kind of film festival where everyone dresses almost like a tuxedo, like a red carpet, you know and everything. that you're like, come on, this is like a shitty old building, everyone has to use exactly three pieces, yeah, so we're done with the vlog, there you go, we'll send it to you, it's pretty cool because this is like a shitty old building sheet metal, but because it's in a

ghost

town

and because they've put some cool theater-like chairs in here, it feels really special just because of the place we're in on the

tour

, this is our haunted bunk bed that we'll be sleeping in this time. evening. a friend's house from church in your video we thought we didn't go in there and that's where this whole experience if you want to come and stay in a

ghost

town

then why not stay in the place with the ghost?

That's true, at least you didn't. Put us in his room, there's no room in the back on the left, okay, so I just turned on a couple of lights and we're about to go see our first mine. Brent has done some renovations on this one. I recently flattened it with tobacco because that's mine, I hope. one day is to create a cabin here because the views of Mount Whitney and then the city would be beautiful and then I want to create a bookshelf here and you would slide the shelf and it would show my secret private mine and I'm You might even like to fill it in so it looks like the mountain, so you'll never know mine was here unless you open the bookshelf, so you have to have some Willy Wonka like things hidden here, you know, in a ghost town, this is the brightest. flashlight in the world is like a true statement yeah it's actually true wow I don't even need my headlamp I know this is crazy wow so yeah this is like a real silver mine and I think a lot of times when people see something there are fans inside the flashlight it's okay we're not all about to die I still have my sunglasses on and I can still see this is huge yeah there's something like 30 miles mine under the city in the past, this is called the mine safeguard, oh my god, nothing's not working, I think we just passed a bat, oh it's a little messy in this mine because this is where I celebrated Christmas this year , oh wow, it's not easy to drag him back here, did you do this?

Being alone here means dragging a lot and having a lot of free time. Can you imagine opening the bookshelf in the cabin you're staying in, walking a hundred meters down a mine, and then having this place to hang out? This has to be the only mine in America that has a Christmas tree snowman, I hope this is like a vertical shaft of the mine, it just goes down, oh wow, oh my gosh, that's not where we want drop the camera. You got there. I did, yes. I used a rope just to be a little safer. Were you terrified?

Have you always been so brave? I don't know if it's brave or you're a little more stunned. I have more creations of my own boredom. go ahead, okay, uh, that includes a mini golf course, there's no way you're like Willy Wonka, you know, I have too much time, that's so creepy, excuse me, excuse me, man, I don't have the rug laid down yet, but eventually this will be a mini golf course that However, I thought you were the right person to buy this because if someone had

bought

it like they were trying to turn it into a resort to make money, it just wouldn't be the same, like you can tell you're doing it . for the love of it, yeah, I love you, I have fun with this, but I think it's important, um, yeah, this is what you know, just line up your putt and cut the hole there, this is another kind of gun, um, yes, thanks, just another one.

I'll make the light, just another kind of sketchy pit to wow, oh god, oh that's deep, okay, no, it'll be pitch black, let's do it, okay, just don't move, okay, ready, nobody, step two Yes, don't move, yes, I can. I don't see my hand in front of my face, I'm sorry, I was afraid you were moving. There's a bat right above me right there. Oh, it's super furry. It's a big transition. The California desert sun from a cave. Begin? It doesn't sound very good, no. okay, we'll take the car, that was fun, that's a fun idea, let's go this way, okay, let's take the other way, this is all really fun because I feel like I'm doing something wrong, yeah, but you own it . it's okay so we can do whatever we want sometimes it's also huge this is the lift house inside is the union mine and the union mine is the main one less rogoto is the mine that descends 900 feet down and every 100 feet there are levels and They took something like $500 million in silver out of the hole.

What is it? Yes, it is the reason Cerrogoro is what it is. So I'll show you how to get to the mine, but keep that in mind when I show you the cage. from that rock we see all these big mounds of dirt that came out of this cage, so it was just running 24/7, up and down, up and down, well the whole building is to support the running of this cage, this cage and that cable is like everyone would go down into the mine and then you would stay here, this goes down like an elevator, but obviously there are no buttons or anything, so there is a wheel back there, that guy is looking at a dial , guessing how far down you are.

Careful, that's a combination to the safe, where did you hide all that money? Oh man, all held up by that cable above me that looks like it could have been here since the 19th century. Yeah I don't have any record of it being replaced so I guess that's the unfortunate truth, it feels like an amusement attraction to me, so there used to be a movement called the tower of terror, yeah studios it feels like that but then you have to remind yourself that it's not Disney, it's not meant to be safe, this is exactly what it is. actually falling like this it takes 45 minutes to get down to level 700 in this cage no he's waiting waiting waiting waiting and then you're thinking the whole time I think something is fake I'm falling the whole pit is at 900 feet I'm falling 900 feet that It gives me the last 900 feet I do, yeah right, they say it's not the fall that kills you, it's the impact, you know, yeah, my favorite part was when you said the guy with the steering wheel would just guess, yeah.

He thinks I'll show you, yeah, we have to learn what it's like, yeah, and that's the original elevator that lets people go up and down, so there's guys running around, so who's the one doing this? We have a guy named Cody who operates. It's for us, but if you look at that very primitive dial, yeah, that shows you how many feet underground, so the well is at that end of the barn and the guy in control is here, so he's not very close. there's a lot of yelling, Cody has to be a huge guy, he's a really good guy, this thing is really heavy and he just sits here with his own body weight and slows you down, yeah, you have a lot of faith in Cody like you do.

We're going down there, no thanks, but we've never gone above the 700 foot level, but there's a 900 foot level where the Indiana Jones treasure hunting part of me is like I have to get to 900, you know. , until now. I haven't been able to convince them to waste their entire day sending me on a treasure hunt, but maybe one day I can get someone to do it. That still works. Alright. Let's go up to see the sunset. The only thing I can't do. What I'm excited about is that that means the next time we go back to the bunkhouse it'll be dark right there is Death Valley and then right there is Mount Whitney so you'll see the highest and lowest peak in the United States continental in one place.

I love that hello I think even in the city I want to be able to have everything from nice hotel rooms to basic campsites and play with that yeah across the board I think that would be a lot of fun who would do it? I thought gero gordo greetings thanks for asking us out, of course, yes, thanks for coming oh yes, I don't remember how to do it oh there we go okay, let's turn on all the lights here if I stay in the haunted cabin I'm sleeping with the lights on a so scary cat I don't even want to like it look down the hall don't make fun of them like that what are you doing check my lunch?

It's cold up here yeah, contrast of the old cash register, but it doesn't really work so it's a good time and usually people can't venmo because they don't have service. The only time I really notice how sketchy it is is when I'm editing videos after the fact, yeah, oh, look at them like, oh, come on, he's going to knock over your lamp, yeah, damn, ghost, not again, I'm glad you gave me this light, okay, no I can't, just the best I can guess. That's crazy, this little bottle has to weigh like 15 pounds. I was cleaning the shelf.

I thought wait. At first I thought it was stuck. What is done with mercury? I think it's very toxic. Yeah, I think it's like no. Do you want to drop that? You won't believe how heavy it is. Can I hold it? Can I hold it with one shot? Wow, that's crazy. I'm trying to think that I do my curls with 15 and 20, right?
