That's an awesome story. I remember coming across it last year and thinking what a cool endeavor it was. I definitely want to visit and check it out next time I'm out that way.

 

I have been watching his videos for a bit now. That fire was devastating

 

I pinged him about the mobile hotspot he uses, the Netgear Nighthawk, and about WeBoost phone boosters. Where he is has pretty lame bandwidth but it can be more reliable. I mentioned to him that with that hotspot he can use Arlo wireless cameras to live stream the town if people wanted to watch the sunrise/sunset.

 

I bought a run down gold mine a couple of years ago. Me and a number of other guys, all a little drunk, where having dinner in Denver after the yearly mineral and gem show. On eof the guys called over a buddy. Turned out he had the rights to a bunch of old, closed down gold mines in Colorado. So we all decided to but an equal share in one of them.
Wound up buying into a little, old, closed mine located in Idaho Springs, Co. Was a pretty famous gold mine area turn of the century.
When I finally drove ut to the site I discovered the following:

The mine was a small horizontal shaft in the side of the hill. Closed off, lots of rubble (tailings) that covered-blocked the entrance. To open it would take a bit of money, and then a bunch of work making it safe. And the chnance of hitting a gold vein is about nill.

But at least I have a pretty cool mine ownership document.

 

I have the deed to a bridge I'd like to sell...

 

Ok, so some are saying this is a grift, just have not figured out the angle just yet. I do have thoughts about his name not being on the land deed, the possibly uninhabitable hotel that burned down he would have had insurance on, then got free labor and a gofundme, It's a fun mental exercise.
