First Open Mic on the Desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

We had a nice first of hopefully many open mics. Small group about 40 people. Which was okay for us. Had many neighbors come out, it was nice for us to get a chance to meet, talk and hang out.

We enjoyed meeting everyone and thank you all for coming being so supportive! A special shout out to Dog water band for coming and playing some awesome music for us!

Shower hole dug Desert life

Ka-Hoon Campground

Hole for the shower dug, tote in the hole and hope filled.. Next step is moving the building over the tote and then finishing the inside.

Once finished we’ll have a second compost toilet and a shower!

We are pretty much set up for the Saturday event 420 Open Mic!

Shower update life in the desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

Getting a hole dug for the shower wasn’t meant to happen today. Something that should have only taken about an hour has become more. The trailer hauling the backhoe broke on the road, which caused the backhoe to tear up a hydraulic hose.

The backhoe operator had the trailer hauled back to his place, the backhoe is at our place, got a new hose. Tomorrow morning we try again to get the hole dug.

The rest of the day was sitting out the winds, printing out passes for the Open Mic event Saturday!

Shower Project

Ka-Hoon Campground

Tomorrow (weather permitting, strong winds are predicted) we will be starting the shower build. We are starting with having a big hole dug that we’ll put in a big holding tank. Once this is completed, we move the building, over the tank. We haven’t started construction on the inside yet. We are looking for smaller pieces of linoleum to put on the walls and floor.

Once completed we will have a shower for ourselves and campers to use. We are working on how to charge for the shower as water is important out here and we have to have it hauled in. Stay tuned for updates!

Dreugan cooling off after helping rake, haul, and burn the never-ending tumbleweeds!

We are just 9 days from the Open Mic and taking advantage of the nice weather to get things ready!

We are excited about this event and can’t wait to see everyone. Don’t forget to bring your talent, or no talent all is accepted!

BYOB, chair, food/water, and yourself!

We do have a few sites available. Come hang out, enjoy yourself, and have a campsite to crash at. No worries, about having to drive.

Snow, Getting ready for Open Mic!

Ka-Hoon Campground

What a day! Woke up this morning with 2 inches of snow, a few hours later the snow is gone. Finally was able to get the RV vacuumed!

Due to the snow and ground being wet we weren’t able to get the outside work done like needed. Though gave some time to get a few things ready for next weekend…

Weather impacts on off-grid living

Ka-Hoon Campground

From windy 80-degree day to snowing 34-degree day. Living off-grid depending on solar for electricity isn’t always easy. We are on day 3 of not much sun, which means we aren’t able to run many electrical items.

The 8k solar is set up so that we can hook a generator up to it, it’ll automatically start the generator if not getting enough sun to charge the batteries, and batteries get to a certain % of drainage, thus shutting the generator down once the batteries are charged. Whereas plugging straight into a generator, that generator has to stay running.

The issue is we do not have a generator that is capable of being hooked up to the solar (Capable one is on our wish list). So until then on cloudy days we start eliminating electric usage.

Not running lights, no tv, unplug any unnecessary items.

Dealing with High Desert Wind Storm’s

Ka-Hoon Campground

Warm sunny day, yet 40 mph gusts with 30 mph constant winds. Wind storms here aren’t much different then blizzards in MN. Visibility is bad, everything gets full of sand especially your eyes and mouth. You have to shut all windows, close curtains and doors to try keep the sands out, even then everything inside gets covered.
I usually wear a mask when outside, as my sinuses swell all up everytime it gets windy.

Safe Environment, Be yourself while camping

Ka-Hoon Campground

It seems so quiet here Plateau Hame De Colquhoun right now, first day in over a week we don’t have any campers.

We’ve had a couple people ask why we don’t post more pictures of people camping? We don’t share photos of people camping out of privacy and respect to anyone staying here.

As a camper you’re welcome to take photos. But we will not take any photos of anyone staying unless asked to do so…As a camper you’re welcome to take photos. But we will not of anyone staying unless asked to do so…

All are welcome, come be yourselves, enjoy yourselves within a safe environment!
