From Broken Trailer to Desert Dreams – The Wild Story Behind Our Move to New Mexico!

From Trailer Repairs to New Beginnings – Our Journey to Ka-Hoon Campground

October is a special month for us—it marks our anniversary of moving here to New Mexico. On **October 18th, 2020**, we spent our very first night on the land that is now **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.**

In honor of this milestone, we’ll be posting **videos from the vault** throughout October, sharing our journey from Minnesota to the desert and the work it took to set up our off-grid home.

Before moving here, we had to figure out how to haul all our belongings. The solution came in the form of an old enclosed trailer… that turned out to need a LOT more work than we expected. We ended up replacing floor supports, laying new flooring, fixing wheel wells, repairing the roof, rebuilding the side and back doors, installing new tires, replacing wheel bearings, and rewiring the lights. Along the way, we even lost the tip of a finger—making this trailer a real blood, sweat, and tears project!

When the work was finally finished, the trailer was road-ready and became the backbone of our move, hauling everything we needed to start our new life in New Mexico.

Follow along this October as we share more from our vault of memories—before, during, and after the move—to celebrate four years of living and building in the desert.
