Family home for the holidays

Ka-Hoon Campground

Happy Tuesday Dec. 12! It was a little warmer last night. 43 inside this morning before starting the heat.

The oldest son Bryandt is coming here in a few days to spend the holidays with us, it’s been years since we’ve had us all together for the holiday. It will be nice having us all together.

Coming from a bigger family holidays were always busy and full of people. I do wish everyone could come, but we all will be together in our thoughts and probably a video call.

December 24th is my Mother’s Linda Rone birthday, her and Dad’s 50th Anniversary! Please stop by their page and wish them Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!! They both could use a pick me up as Dad is in the hospital due to Pneumonia. Love you both!!

Life in the Desert.

Ka-Hoon Campground

Yesterday Friday morning started out nice, we planned to mow and start cleaning on the 10 acres. But as soon as we went outside a 40 mph wind hit, blow off a heavy tarp (actually is a big pool cover) we had spread out to dry off to be folded up and put into storage. The tarp took out a few poles along the way. We rushed and got the tarp secured, (thank you Advocatus Diaboli for helping!) couldn’t fold it due to the winds. The high winds stayed until into the evening. Which meant we got nothing we had planned to do done.

Today, it probably won’t be as windy. But we have errands to run to get things ready for a private event tomorrow.

This is why it takes us forever to get anything done.. But the dogs got some playtime before the winds hit!

Life of living off-grid in the desert…

We are now a week away from Happy HORRORDAZE “Axe-Travaganza” !!

Late night visitor

Ka-Hoon Campground

We had a visitor come ring the doorbell in the middle of the night. Think she was a little late for trick-or-treat but then again we live out in the middle of nowhere. Part of living in the desert only the cows come and visit.

Respecting people for who they are.

Ka-Hoon Campground

We had something come up recently, due to that situation I’d like to share a little bit of my story.

I lived outside a little town called Browerville in Minnesota.  I grew up poor, and we didn’t have much. Due to this, I was bullied my whole time in school. Called names, kicked, hit, spit on, told i was stupid,  told I was so fat couldn’t fit through a door, or chair, stunk, they made sounds and act as if the floor was shaking when I walk down the hall.
I shut down, quit talking, taking care of myself, as there was nothing I could do that made it better, no matter how hard I tried.

To this day, it still affects me (I’m crying just writing this), and I still hear those same people saying those things to me. It has taken me a long time to realize they were wrong.  Wrong for doing that,  wrong about who I am.

Moving out here in the middle of the desert, living off-grid in the West. Where law is very limited. I have learned to stand up for myself, that money, material things, beliefs, sexuality mean nothing. What is important is respect.

Respect people for who they are, let them make their own choices without ridicule. To live how they choose to live.

Traveling New Mexico

Ka-Hoon Campground

Sunny Saturday Dec 2 morning. I am a member of a few RV groups, so many times in those groups I read about Rvers traveling across country and trying to find routes around New Mexico due to their fears of crime here. It’s sad really as New Mexico is beautiful, and full of so much history! There are many safe places to stay, and see.

The reputation of the state (some based in unfortunate truth) is shocking, while others just ignore the SW or believe we are south of the boarder.

Coming to our land can be a little unnerving for sure as it’s so desolate (15 miles from town) but don’t let it or the news intimidate you.
It’s really glorious.

Honor pay at Dusty Nail General Store at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Rainy, cloudy Thursday morning. We finally the store Dusty Nail General Store set up. We been brain storming on how to utilize the sore while campers are here, as none of us really want to go sit inside waiting. Not all campers want to purchase or look which is fine with us. The answer was so simple we don’t know why we hadn’t figured it out before.

We have set up the store as honor pay, campers can go in at their own convenience and purchase items if they choose. We ask them to write down their purchase as some items belong to neighbors.. Hand made purses, eggs (we only add if know we’ll have campers).

So far it has worked out good. Yes we risk theft of items, but we’ve done the honor pay during festivals and found they work quite well. We also only add a few of everything.

I do not have sage sticks out, as I need to make some. Which means me taking time to do it. Maybe something good to do on a rainy cloudy Thursday….

New Passion and Friendships

Ka-Hoon Campground

It is weird how friendships happen. We never thought we’d ask a band to come play here an become such close friends. Brent has been working with them pretty much everyday. It has gotten him back into to writing his own material. Seeing the passion come back that he has lost for a few years, has made it all worth it. We can’t thank Advocatus Diaboli enough for what him and the band has done.

Brent has written most of the songs that Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be performing during the Happy HORRORDAZE “Axe-Travaganza” !

It’s going to be a fun live concert, not a kid friendly concert. If you are easily offended don’t watch. Everyone else come laugh, and enjoy the show!!

Visit Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band website and ours for more information.
