Desert life means being prepared

Ka-Hoon Campground

We went out and did some target practicing yesterday. First photo is what Anne Calhoun did shooting at 100 ft. The video is what I did.

Anne and I both had been around guns in the past, but was never anything we used or had much interest in using. But being out in the desert sometimes includes being able to shoot if needed.. Since we didn’t have much experience we decided to take a few gun safety classes. Now that we all graduated with 100% on the range qualifications, we go out and practice.

Hopefully not something we have to do, but we know how.

Rattle snakes beware!!!!…lol

March in the Desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

We haven’t been posting as much as it has been quiet.. With the winds we haven’t been able to achieve much. We do have a full week of campers booked, and this weekend is supposed to be nice.

We have plans to get few things done this weekend. Remove more piled up tumbleweeds they love to pile up under the solar panels.

Today (weather permitting) we will be picking up another little building that we plan on using for a second compost toilet.

We where able to pickup a few plastic pallets that we hope to use for a small portable stage. We’ll be watching for more, or some nice wooden pallets for the main stage.

Don’t forget we are hosting Bringing in the 420 open mic on Saturday April 2nd! Campsites have been booking up, so if you’re looking to have a reserved site make sure to reserve your spot!

When you reserve a site you get early access to the grounds to set up.

Busy Week in the Desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

It’s been a busy week. We’ve had a week of campers, an event coming up April 2nd here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . Still don’t have everything set up the way we’d like, but that is mostly due to cost of lumber..

it’s warming up, though been windy. Which makes clearing tumble weeds a daily task, though Dreugan loves chasing them.

Waiting out Wind Storm

Ka-Hoon Campground

Sorry we haven’t posted in a few days. Last few days the only thing we’ve been doing has been sitting out the winds. “Fun” part of living on the desert is the winds, especially when you’re on a Mesa. When you go outside your eyes, mouth, get full of sand. Mask helps a little but not much.

Today was better, tomorrow we have another private event, which means getting things setup and cleaned up, tumble weeds are a never ending battle.

Another Wind Advisory

Ka-Hoon Campground

Went and ate at the RSH Steakhouse in Belen tonight, highly recommend going it ever in town!!

Back here Plateau Hame De Colquhoun we are getting ready for a small private event. We haven’t had much of a chance to start working on the new store front. But hoping soon we’ll be able to. So many projects, so little time. We have high wind advisories for tomorrow, which means we won’t get much done. But that’s okay as it’s off to the dentist tomorrow for me.

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun store Front

Ka-Hoon Campground

Got our store front building, now need to put roof on it, paint, then set up the inside. But all that has to wait for less windy day. Getting 46 mph gusts.. which made a good day to clear Tumble weeds and let them blow away.

Happy Valentine’s

Ka-Hoon Campground

Happy Valentine’s Day!! Today was a slow day, cleaned up tumble weeds that gathered under everything I guess part of desert life. Brent Colquhoun took Anne and I out to eat for Valentine’s at a wonderful local restaurant #oasis in #Belen.

Tomorrow we’ll be heading back into town to pickup a shipping box that we plan on using for either a store front or shower.

Desert life

Ka-Hoon Campground

As much as we love our independence and adventure of living where many dare to live. It can be very hard and lonely at times. Within this desolate area we have a community that watch out for each other. We have became a family. As a family we check up on each other, visit and get annoyed with each other. We know all that is going on, for if one sees something or someone unusual, we all get a call.
