4th of July Festivities at Ka-Hoon Campground
Yesterday, we hosted a fantastic community BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July. After enjoying some delicious food, we headed to the northern edge of the Mesa to catch a spectacular view of the fireworks. From this vantage point, we could see fireworks being launched in Los Lunas and Albuquerque, as well as smaller displays in Belen and Bosque.
Belen had already held their fireworks show last Saturday, so the crowd was smaller than last year, which made for a more relaxed experience. As we returned home, we were treated to a stunning natural light show as Mother Nature lit up the sky with her own fireworks over the Manzano Mountains.
Today, we’re gearing up for our 2-day 4th of July Celebration here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. We can’t wait to continue the festivities with all of you!
Stay tuned for more updates and join us for an unforgettable celebration!

Monsoon Adventures: Community Spirit in the New Mexico Desert
Navigating Monsoon Season in the New Mexico Desert
Living in the New Mexico desert has its unique challenges, especially during monsoon season. Today was a prime example as we had to head out for water, showers, and a few groceries, all while trying to beat the next wave of storms.
The muddy roads made the trip especially slow, but we knew waiting for more rain would make them even worse. As we made our way back home, we saw a cluster of police lights. Approaching the scene, we discovered a pickup had rolled into a ditch. Our hearts sank when we realized it was someone we knew, a member of our community. Fortunately, he wasn’t hurt, and we were able to give him a ride home.
This experience was a stark reminder of the difficulties we face living here, but also of the strong community spirit that helps us get through these challenges together.

Water Supply Challenges and Community Solutions at KaHoon Campground
### Water Supply Challenges and Solutions
We often get asked about how we manage our water supply. Here are some insights into our current options and challenges:
#### Bulk Water Hauling
We can haul bulk water using a 275-gallon IBC tote, which is the most cost-effective solution. We plan to rely on bulk water once we start building the shower facilities.
However, there are significant issues with hauling bulk water. The weight of the water combined with our rugged roads makes it tough on vehicles and trailers. The repair costs for our vehicles can outweigh the savings from hauling water ourselves. This challenge is one reason why we’ve paused our shower construction.
#### Community Solutions
We’re hoping that by banding together with the six households in our area, we can find a more sustainable solution. Ideally, we’d hire a delivery service that can cater to all of us. Unfortunately, our initial plan fell through when the suspension on our potential delivery person’s truck broke down.
#### Well Installation
The cost of drilling and maintaining a well isn’t feasible for us at this time. It’s a long-term goal, but for now, we need a more immediate solution.
#### Interim Measures
Until we figure out a reliable delivery method, either through a service or by organizing ourselves, we are using 5-gallon jugs filled at Twice the Ice. It’s not the most convenient method, but it gets us by.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these challenges. We’re committed to finding a better solution soon.

Unforgettable Night at Stage Luchetti: Advocatus Diaboli & Grim Leafer Band Live!
Exciting Times Ahead at Stage Luchetti!
Next Saturday, Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be playing at Stage Luchetti in Albuquerque, and we couldn’t be more excited! We decided to check out the venue beforehand to see what it’s like, and we have to say, we were thoroughly impressed.
The atmosphere at Stage Luchetti is wonderful. The owner, Rick, and his family are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a vibe that’s not much different from what we strive for here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. Although we didn’t get a chance to meet the first band, MUerTAPHORIA, we did get to meet Falling Fire. All I have to say is: great people, great band!
Advocatus Diaboli is thrilled to be playing at Stage Luchetti next weekend. We fully support what Rick and his family are doing for the local music scene. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend checking it out and giving your support to Rick, his family, and the local bands.
On a related note, we’ve recently encountered some criticism from a local promoter who sees us as competition. We want to make it clear that it’s not about competition—it’s about supporting each other. The success of one venue helps lift the entire community. So let’s come together, enjoy some fantastic music, and support the local arts scene!
See you next Saturday at Stage Luchetti!

Evening Relaxation: Cats, Cool Breezes, and Peaceful Companionship
Evening Relaxation: Cats and Cool Breezes
As the temperature cools off in the evenings, there’s nothing quite like spending time outside, enjoying the cool night breeze. Whether you’re relaxing or working on a task, these moments are made even more special by the company of our feline friends. During the day, the cats usually find a cool spot under one of the containers to nap, but once night falls, they come to lay on or with us, sharing in the peacefulness of the evening.
There’s something truly comforting about their presence as we unwind after a long day. It’s a reminder of the simple joys and quiet companionship that make these evenings so enjoyable.

Discover KaHoon Campground’s Solar Repair Adventure at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun!
**Discover Ka-Hoon Campground: A Lesson in Solar Maintenance and Community**
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, the fusion of community and sustainability unfolds in unique ways, exemplified during a recent gathering at Cahoots Courtyard. We extend a warm welcome to visitors interested in our mission and activities, inviting you to schedule a personalized tour and chat.
During a leisurely Saturday with our newest Ka-Hoon Campground members, we encountered a practical lesson in solar panel maintenance. A cable from our solar array required attention, prompting us to shut down the main breaker for safety. After a straightforward repair involving relocating the cable to a spare connector, we inadvertently overlooked one crucial step – restoring power by turning the breaker back on.
The consequence of our oversight surfaced the following day while we were away running errands. An alert notified us of a potential shutdown of our inverter, a critical component of our solar setup. Thankfully, upon returning home, we swiftly rectified the situation, restoring normal operations and avoiding any prolonged disruption. Despite our prompt response, the afternoon’s overcast skies limited our solar recharge capacity, underscoring the importance of meticulous breaker management.
At Ka-Hoon Campground, these moments of shared learning and communal engagement define our commitment to sustainable living. Whether you’re captivated by our solar initiatives or simply eager to learn more about us and our aspirations, we encourage you to connect with our community. Join us on this journey where each day presents new insights and collaborative opportunities to thrive together.
