Day 2 Stage Build issues.

Ka-Hoon Campground

Day 2 of the stage we weren’t able to get as much done as we would have liked. The issue of Modern Pioneerism is that you have to think outside the box. Sometimes your plans and Ideas go as you plan, other times it takes some rethinking, planning and maybe some good neighbors to help. This was the case yesterday. But with the help of friends we are back on track..

The poles are in place, next is leveling (which was the hangup. How do we level the top of the stage? We had considered concrete, building a wood frame, packing with sand, many of these are against the Modern Pioneerism idea which is okay if we need to do it we will and have on other projects. But we think we got it figured out, and it’ll keep everything within our ideas.

Day 2 Stage Build at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Today we start day 2 of the stage build. The new stage is staying with our theme Modern Pioneerism meaning using modern recycled materials to build or achieve our goal. As many know we have a high power powerline that runs by our property. Last month the power company replaced a bunch of the poles. We allowed the workers to use our driveway, park their equipment by our place. In trade for 15 poles and plugs. Neighbors took the poles, we got the plugs.

We are using the plugs to build the stage (plugs are the part of the pole that was buried in the ground. Each pole is around 600 lbs and we are using 10 poles (that we are moving in place by hand).

Today we work on finishing placing the poles, leveling. The new stage will be the same size as the old 16×16 with a riser. Height was about 1 foot, new stage about 3 foot. We will still be able to break the stage down to setup a smaller stage like in the photo.

I will post more photos, videos of the work.

Snow in the Desert March 2nd 2023

Ka-Hoon Campground

A few days ago it was 65 and really windy, today it’s 36 and snowing. If you haven’t seen snow in the desert watch the video. I always loved watching snow storms in Minnesota, when we decided to move to New Mexico it was my fear of not seeing snow. But it snows here a couple times a year, luckily though it usually isn’t much or lasts long. We get just enough snow that I enjoy it.

Wind, sand storm in the Desert. Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Yesterday we had 55 mph gusts, 30 mph sustained winds. Having dealt with winds many times, we have learned how to better deal with it. We try to make sure everything is anchored down, or protected.  We were lucky we didn’t get too much damage. We did lose the cover for the dog food bin, water and sand got into the bag. We had the bin protected from the southern winds, but when the squall hit the winds and changed directions instead of south, it changed to the west.

I was on the phone with my Mom Linda Rone  at the time I saw the lid fly by, but we couldn’t go out and grab it out of fear that when we opened the RV door the RV would fill up with sand. So we waited for the winds to settle a little to go out and try to save the dog food.

While talking on the phone just before the dogfood lid, I had seen a deflated balloon fly by that read “Happy Birthday”. We have no idea where this balloon came from.

We did have a few smaller items fly off, but nothing we hadn’t recovered. I had a big tote full of vendor supplies (about 50 lbs or more) stored under the Greenroom, that the wind caught and moved to the middle of the yard.

That aside, today is the first day since mid December that we don’t have any campers here. It seems odd not seeing the campers. But that won’t be long as we have more coming in. We enjoy having others come camp, relax and enjoy the land, scenery as much as we do.
