Talent No Talent Open Mic Music in the Desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

This is our second community open mic event. The first event was more successful than we could have ever imagined. So much so many asked us to do another one.

So we had a meeting of neighbors who all graciously come together to make this happens.

We all love where we live, find it peaceful, we’re not just neighbors, we are a family. As a family, we have opened our doors so other people can enjoy the unique atmosphere we have up here in the middle of the desert on top of a mesa.

Come up enjoy the day and come meet our family. Campsites are available check our website for more info on reserving your spot.

Finally a nice day! Life in the desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

We are little less then 2 weeks away from the Talent No Talent Open Mic. We had hopes of having shower and second compost completed by then. But weather has slowed us down (actually set us backwards a little). We are also trying to find plastic pallets (not the ones with the big holes) to use as a portable stage. If you know of any please let us know.

New Mexico Desert Life

Ka-Hoon Campground

Life in the desert in New Mexico can be peaceful, beautiful, yet full of adventure, stress, and sometimes sleepless nights.

Clear nights with more stars than you could ever imagine, sunsets behind Ladrone Peak, a bonfire to share with neighbors.

Dealing with winds, and figuring out water supply issues remain, yet the most pressing issue that causes sleepless nights is people that think they can come out and steal everything you have while you’re away. Yet what they don’t know is, they have caused us neighbors to become a family. To watch out for each other, knowing that we all will come when needed.

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!
