Another one of the many projects

Can you guess what I’m working on? No not rolling cigarettes…. Rolling mini sage smudge sticks from some freshly dried white sage!! We are hoping soon to add a store front out here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun , but until then sage is one of the few items we offer for campers to purchase..

Other items includes Desert Coffee (Mesquite coffee, we harvested and roasted the beans) it’s all a sweet coffee (more tea like but considered coffee) non caffeinated and very tasty.. so far it’s been a big hit!!

We also have charms..

Until we get a store front it’s by appointment..

We are hoping to add

prickly pear, juniper jams..

Mini Mullein smudge sticks

Mesquite flour

Art originals and prints….

Broken solar… :(

I guess I jinxed it… The controller won’t come off sleep mode.. We checked connection from the panels and they are all working.. The controller is a bit confusing, a lot of programing.. So we are more sure, we gave up after the sun gone down.. We are also hoping it might be due to the batteries being charged.. But still frustrating..

Campers, Neighbors and Solar

Been busy days working on the solar, campers coming in, and meeting a new neighbor. (Neighbor here is anyone that lives up here on the Mesa, this one is 3 miles from us). We like how all the neighbors know each other, watch out for and willing to help if needed.. We use to live in a town in Minnesota where we lived 10ft from neighbors on either side yet knew very little about them, we would try to be social but it’s different…

Not wanting to jinx it so won’t say we are planning to have the solar finished today… We’ll post an update once it’s completed!

Controller In Los Lunas UPS Store Delivery Issue

Guess what came in today!! Now we need to hook everything up. We also decided to buy wire instead of moving the panels. Main reason being the panels are in a really good no shade spot, we move them closer they will get shade.

Now our rant….. We are soooo tired of dealing with getting anything delivered.. UPS especially, they will not deliver to our place.. We where told by a worker at the store that if we send packages directly to the UPS store in Los Lunas that they will not charge us to pick the packages up..

So we did this with the controller, but when I get there they inform me I had to pay $10.00, they don’t even say it nicely, very rude right away. I reminded them what I had been told, they start yelling at me and said they’ve told me multiple times (which they didn’t) “If we don’t rent one of their boxes, we have to pay”.. They then told me once I said “fine whatever, I shouldn’t have to pay when you guys refuse to deliver” That they don’t have to give me the package at all, even after I paid they informed me again they don’t have to give it to me.. They didn’t even hand me the package I had to get it off their scale.. They continued to mouth off about me while I was walking out. (Though I had said loudly you guys suck, and shouldn’t have to pay).. They are not quiet about it either, customers in the store heard the whole thing… Did they offer any alternatives other than us paying $45 a month for a box?? Nope..

Okay rant over…

Tuesday Evening

A beautiful evening here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun No campers tonight but we’re almost fully booked up the rest of the week! Next week we are looking forward to possible campers coming in from Texas to enjoy the views and hopefully the serenity of the land.

Tomorrow the new controller is supposed to be delivered to the local UPS store (have we told you UPS, FedEx and USPS Business won’t deliver here? ) Deliveries has been a huge learning curve for us.

Thank you!!

Wow we are so pleased to have had many wonderful campers. We had a dream of sharing the beauty of our lands with others, to make a safe place for people to be who they are, to experience nature at it’s finest.. To stay on land that no one but us has lived.

So far we have loved meeting everyone and hope to see you all again and to meet many more!!

Good News, Not such good news

Views from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun ! We got news!!! The new controller had been shipped, since the one we had was out of stock we got upgraded to an OutBack controller, or so they say it’s a upgrade… We checked reviews and it does have better reviews so fingers crossed!!

Other news we are 15 foot short on our wiring from the inverter to the power panel.. We went to see about buying the whole 100 foot needed. But after pricing the wire we’ve decided we will be moving all the panels and the power box at least 15 foot closer 😦 .. If anyone is interested in helping we won’t turn ya away!!!
