We’re having a foot race up Cerro Gordo’s historic Yellow Grade Road! The first annual Cerro Gordo Silver Run!
It's short(ish) - 8 miles, but it's going to be HARD. You go from around 3,500 ft in elevation, to almost 8,500 ft.
Come make history!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jean Ray Kendrick, who lived at Cerro Gordo when her father ran the mines in the 1940/50s.
Sadly, Jean passed away after we filmed this, but I am so grateful we were able to spend time together and share her memories

I made some silver! To make it, I followed the instructions from a book published in 1886 that I found here at Cerro Gordo!
This is something I've ALWAYS wanted to try and over the past week or so, I gave it a shot. It was really a rewarding experience:

This week I set off to find an abandoned mine. The directions I received were vague and hinged on things like finding a 'barrel' and 'odd looking tree.'
I didn't find what I was looking for, but I found something just as exciting...

A family recently sent me their grandmother's journal from her time at Cerro Gordo.
She was the caretaker from 1939-1942. In the journal she mentions the "Silver Spear" mine, which I had never heard of.
This week, I went looking for it...

It took me 12 hours and I lost a boot along the way, but I walked the entirety of Cerro Gordo's abandoned aerial tramway.
Today, Mining trams are relics from the past, but in their heyday they were engineering feats.
