**Ka-Hoon Membership Program: Build, Belong, and Be Yourself**
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we’re proud to offer a membership program that arose from the requests of our campers who sought longer-term stays and a sense of community.
### A Vision for Community and Growth
Our membership program is still in its early stages, but its foundation is built on the idea of creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals to live, grow, and connect. It’s a grassroots initiative with the goal of offering members not just a place to stay, but a place to belong—a home base where individuality is respected, and the beauty of the land is preserved.
We envision this program becoming a collaborative effort, with members forming their own board and having a voice in future developments. Every member will get a vote, ensuring that the program evolves with the input and needs of the community.
### Flexible Membership Options
To make our program accessible, we’ve designed it with flexibility in mind. We currently offer daily, weekly, and monthly membership fees to accommodate various budgets.
### What Membership Offers
As a member, you have the opportunity to:
– **Establish a small homestead:** Grow your own garden, raise animals, or create a space that feels like home.
– **Enjoy a safe and welcoming environment:** Be yourself without fear of judgment, while respecting others, the land, and local laws.
– **Be part of something bigger:** Help shape the future of Ka-Hoon by contributing to the community and its growth.
Whether you’re looking to stay for a short time or set up a permanent base, Ka-Hoon welcomes everyone who values respect—for themselves, others, and nature.
### Join Us
If you’re seeking a place to call home, surrounded by like-minded individuals and the beauty of nature, consider becoming a member. Let’s grow together, protect the land, and create a community where everyone can thrive.

Living Off-Grid: Solar Challenges, Desert Life, and Prepping for HORRORDAZE with Advocatus Diaboli!
**Life Off-Grid: Balancing Busy Days, Solar Projects, and Event Prep**
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert means constant adjustments, planning, and a bit of trial and error, especially when juggling daily responsibilities with larger projects.
### Busy Days on the Road
May days include a 90-minute trip to take Anne to work, navigating the desert terrain. Depending on whether we take the car or the pickup, the trip takes longer as we manage the dirt roads: the car averages 20-25 mph, while the pickup handles it slightly better at 30-35 mph. These drives are a reminder of how even the simplest routines are more time-consuming when living off-grid.
### Preparing for HORRORDAZE
Amid our daily tasks, we’re also getting Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band ready for their upcoming performance at the ** HORRORDAZE Extravaganza** on December 21 at Black Wall Arts & Productions . Rehearsals, equipment prep, and fine-tuning animatronics are all part of the process to ensure a memorable show.
### Tackling Solar System Challenges
One of our biggest ongoing projects is setting up a new solar system. Yesterday, Brent and I spent hours cleaning and reorganizing the Greenroom to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner with neighbors, but this effort also served as a reminder of the solar build we’ve been putting off.
We’ve debated several locations for the new system, each with its pros and cons:
– **Battery House Option:** Keeping the batteries in their current house avoids moving them (each over 100 lbs!) but makes it tricky to find a sunny spot for the panels without shading.
– **Anne’s Battery Setup Location:** This option means reorganizing the trailer and moving the heavy batteries again, a task we’ve already done more than once.
– **Behind the RV:** Placing the system behind the RV sacrifices some of our stunning views, which feels like a significant tradeoff.
– **Existing Panel Stand:** Adding the panels to the current stand may overload the structure and prevent us from adjusting them for optimal sunlight.
Another idea we’ve considered is creating a mobile solar system. Folding panels into a trailer would allow us to transport them as needed, but we’re cautious about adding unnecessary weight to our RV.
### The Balancing Act
Decisions like these take time, especially when weather, schedules, and other priorities like running Anne to work keep interfering. The key is committing to a solution and sticking with it, but with so many factors to consider, the decision hasn’t been easy.
For now, we’re focusing on small wins—like getting the Greenroom ready for Thanksgiving—and tackling one challenge at a time. Living off-grid may not always be simple, but the rewards of self-sufficiency and freedom make it all worthwhile.

Can You Handle the Challenges of Off-Grid Living? Solitude, Freedom, and Electricity as a Luxury
Is It Time to Call Off-Grid Living Quits?
Living off-grid is not for the faint of heart. It’s a lifestyle filled with challenges that often push people to their limits. Over the past four years, we’ve watched many try—and fail—to make it work.
Success in this lifestyle requires a willingness to simplify. It means learning to conserve water by skipping daily showers or reusing clothes to limit laundry. It’s about embracing solitude, silence, and the raw sounds of nature, like the wind howling or coyotes calling in the distance.
Electricity is a luxury. Unless you have a massive solar setup or rely heavily on generators, you’ll find modern conveniences like air fryers, electric heaters, and AC units impractical. Personally, I prefer the quiet over the constant hum of a generator, even if it means giving up certain comforts.
Having grown up on a dairy farm in rural Minnesota, I’m no stranger to isolation. Our nearest neighbor was a mile away, and the closest town with more than the basics was 45 miles from home. Surprisingly, moving to the New Mexico desert feels like I’ve moved closer to civilization. At least now, we can gather supplies without an hours-long journey.
Off-grid living isn’t easy, and there are moments when quitting feels tempting. But for those who treasure independence, self-reliance, and a deep connection to the land, the rewards far outweigh the hardships.

Unforgettable Weekend: Advocatus Diaboli Live & Rangoli Celebration at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**Embracing Community and Celebrations at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)**
It’s been a whirlwind weekend here at Ka-hoon Campground and Event Center! Last Friday, Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band rocked Albuquerque, keeping us out until the early hours of the morning. We returned home around 3:30 a.m., knowing we had just a few hours of sleep before getting everything ready for our much-anticipated Rangoli celebration.
Despite the exhaustion, we managed to unload the trailer, prep the firepit, and kick off another memorable Rangoli. This event, where we gather to draw our intentions around the fire, dance, walk, and stomp them into the ground, always brings our community together in a meaningful way. Though we thought our tiredness would cut the evening short, the energy of the Rangoli kept us going until midnight, longer than we’d expected!
Are you interested in joining a like-minded community in the New Mexico desert, with endless skies and stunning views? At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we’re more than a campground; we’re building a homesteading community that lives off-grid and supports one another. With our **Membership Program**, you can set up your own homestead, enjoy exclusive events, and truly be a part of something unique.

So many projects not enough sunny days!
photo is rain coming over #ladronepeak.. 2 days of rain and cloudy days is making hard on the little solar system. Rain has also slowed us even more on the bigger 8k system. We are very close to finishing but much of what’s left needs sunny days. Last week all our sunny days we’ve been busy with other life projects.
It’s now evening and clearing off, we are fully booked up with campers for weekend here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. We just finished up getting everything set up for the #campers. We’ve been so busy even Dreugan has passed out.
