We took a break for a few days, went camping and closed down Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. It may sound weird to some as we live full time in an RV and off-grid, yet go camping. But we still love tent camping usually in places RVs can’t get into! But now we are home refreshed but look forward to sleeping in our bed. I think the dogs will enjoy a good sleep as they are exhausted.
The April Fool’s Open Mic was fun, the food was good, the goats and mini calves were so cute, we had good singing, poetry, art! Dusty Nails General Store had a good opening. We also added hand made washclothes to the list of products at the store! We thank everyone that came out!

We got the Dusty Nail build pretty much finished. Now we start cleaning and setting up the inside.
We are excited to have the new stage and Dusty Nail General Store ready for the April Fool’s Open Mic !
I have so many ideas on how I want to decorate the inside, I’m not sure I will be able to accomplish my ideas by the next event. I will probably put off these ideas until after the Open Mic.
The next projects
First will be a shower. We have everything to build the shower. We will be looking for a good 275+ gallon IBC tote, cheap, food grade with good tread on the spout. If you know of one please contact us
We are planning on adding another road, 2nd parking area (can be used for parking or campsites) and a few more campsites.
We also plan on moving our private residence area back. This will give more campsites. Give us and the dogs more privacy while having events and or campers.
But before we can move our spot back we have to build the 5k solar setup. This one will only be dedicated to the “Beast” class A. The big solar is for the Greenroom, Bluemoon, maybe shower, and sound/lights during events.

Day 2 of the stage we weren’t able to get as much done as we would have liked. The issue of Modern Pioneerism is that you have to think outside the box. Sometimes your plans and Ideas go as you plan, other times it takes some rethinking, planning and maybe some good neighbors to help. This was the case yesterday. But with the help of friends we are back on track..
The poles are in place, next is leveling (which was the hangup. How do we level the top of the stage? We had considered concrete, building a wood frame, packing with sand, many of these are against the Modern Pioneerism idea which is okay if we need to do it we will and have on other projects. But we think we got it figured out, and it’ll keep everything within our ideas.
