Embrace Nature and Acceptance at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

Ka-Hoon Campground

Experience Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center – A Place of Acceptance and Tranquility

Here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we aren’t anything fancy. We don’t have electric hookups, sewer services, or internet access. What we do offer is a place to relax, feel safe, meet others, listen to some music, or just hang at your campsite without fear of judgment. Everyone is welcome here, no matter who you voted for, what religion you follow, your sexuality, what you sleep in, or how much money you have.

We created this space because we often felt like outsiders ourselves, awkward and judged in many places we visited. When we embarked on this journey, we wanted to create a place where no one felt that way. We love nature, history, the stunning views, beautiful skies, and music, and we believe our location is rich with all of these. We aim to preserve this land and share it with others, with the only rules being simple: respect yourself, others, the land, and local laws.

Sadly, in our society today, we need to generate income to support ourselves and protect the land from development. However, we strive to keep costs affordable for everyone who wants to visit, whether it’s for camping, attending a festival, or participating in an event.

We also aim to provide a space where the local community can sell their goods and wares to support themselves. You can help support our goals by coming to camp, attending an event or festival, sharing our posts, liking, commenting, visiting our website, or telling your friends and family about us.

Enjoying a Cooler Day on the Mesa: A Perfect Tour and Bonfire Evening

Ka-Hoon Campground

Yesterday, we took the campers on a tour of the mesa. With the day mainly being hazy and cloudy, the temperatures were a bit cooler than usual, which made the tour more enjoyable. The cooler weather was perfect for exploring the beautiful mesa and taking in the stunning views.

After the tour, we gathered around the bonfire in the Cahoots Courtyard for a relaxing evening. It was a cool night, perfect for sharing stories and enjoying the serene ambiance of the campfire.

We truly enjoyed seeing the campers and their families having a great time, appreciating the land, and getting to know each other. These moments of connection are what make all our work here at KaHoon Campground and Event Center worth it.

Adapting to Off-Grid Living: Challenges and Rewards at Ka-Hoon Campground

Ka-Hoon Campground

Today marks the third cloudy day in a row, and with the heat, it’s been harder to conserve electricity. We’ve been running fans, and the fridge has to work overtime to stay cool. Plus, we spent a lot of time working in the studio. So, it wasn’t a surprise when we woke up this morning to find we don’t have electricity. But that’s fine. Today is cooler, the sky will clear, the sun will come out, and we always have the option of firing up the generator.

Electricity is nice, but we’ve learned to work around these types of days. Before moving here to New Mexico, we lived at an Environmental Education Center where we site-managed and worked on the music production side. We started out in an 8.5×16 fish house that we had converted into a cabin. Before buying the cabin, we lived in tents on the land.

Electricity was limited in our cabin. Though we didn’t have solar power, we did have shore power, but it required running a 200-foot heavy power cable. This meant our electricity was limited; we ran one LED lamp and a TV, and we used propane for heat and cooking.

These experiences have taught us how to adapt and make the most of what we have. Living off-grid has its challenges, but it also offers a unique and rewarding lifestyle that we wouldn’t trade for anything.

Thriving in the Desert: Life at Ka-Hoon Campground and Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Embracing the Desert Life: Inspiration and Resilience at Ka-Hoon Campground

Living in the New Mexico desert brings a unique set of challenges and rewards. At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we experience the raw beauty of nature every day. Here’s a glimpse into our life in the desert and how we find inspiration amidst the heat and rugged landscape.

#### Surviving the Desert Heat

The desert heat can be intense, but we’ve adapted to make the most of it. Our days start early, taking advantage of the cooler morning temperatures to get our outdoor tasks done. By midday, when the sun is at its peak, we retreat indoors to stay cool. Our dogs, too, find refuge inside, with plenty of water and an occasional misting to keep them comfortable. Despite the heat, we find ways to stay productive, whether it’s handling paperwork, working on music, or crafting.

#### Nature’s Drama: Turkey Buzzards and Free-Ranged Cattle

The desert is alive with wildlife. Just the other day, we witnessed turkey buzzards fiercely protecting their kill near our car—a stark reminder of the untamed spirit of nature. On the flip side, there are moments of serene beauty, like watching free-ranged cattle graze in the golden rays of a New Mexico sunrise. These experiences, both raw and tranquil, enrich our lives and connect us deeply to the land.

#### Finding Beauty in Everyday Moments

Living in the desert isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving and finding beauty in everyday moments. The vast, open landscapes, the stunning sunsets, and the star-filled night skies are constant sources of awe. Each day brings new experiences and challenges that test our resilience and inspire us to appreciate the simple pleasures of off-grid living.

#### Building a Community

Ka-Hoon Campground is more than just a place to live; it’s a community. We gather around the communal firepit, the Colquhoun Hearth, sharing stories, music, and laughter under the stars. Our events, like the monthly Music in the Desert Saturdays and the annual Drum Circle on the Longest Day of the Year, bring people together to celebrate life and nature.

#### Join Us on This Journey

Whether you’re a camper, an event attendee, or someone interested in off-grid living, we invite you to join us on this journey. Experience the challenges and joys of desert life, and find inspiration in the unique beauty of New Mexico.

Members-Only Memorial Day Potluck at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

Ka-Hoon Campground

Yesterday, we hosted a members-only Memorial Day potluck at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, and it was a resounding success! We had a fantastic turnout, and everyone brought delicious dishes to share. One of the highlights was Brent’s delectable Lemon Pepper Chicken, which everyone enjoyed.

After the meal, the kids had a blast crafting heart stuffies, a fun and creative activity that kept them engaged. Once they finished, they settled down in the Greenroom to watch a movie, providing a relaxing end to their busy day.

While the kids were crafting and watching movies, the adults enjoyed the serene ambiance around the bonfire in Cahoots Courtyard. It was a perfect opportunity to unwind, chat, and gaze at the breathtaking New Mexico skies.

Surviving Desert Windstorms: Off-Grid Living Adventures

Ka-Hoon Campground

### Living Off-Grid in the Desert: Battling the Elements

Living off-grid in the desert offers a unique and rewarding lifestyle, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. While we don’t experience much rain or snow, we do face formidable windstorms, especially in the spring. These windstorms can wreak havoc on anything that’s not solid or tied down, creating sandstorms that infiltrate every nook and cranny.

#### The Desert Winds: A Force to Be Reckoned With

Windstorms in the desert are not to be underestimated. The strong gusts can tear apart poorly secured structures and scatter loose items far and wide. The sand carried by these winds finds its way into every crack and crevice, leaving a fine layer of dust on everything. It’s a gritty reminder of the power of nature.

#### The Unseen Enemy: Sandstorms

Sandstorms are a frequent companion to windstorms in the desert. The fine sand seems to have a life of its own, sneaking into homes, getting into your ears, eyes, and even your mouth. It’s a challenge to keep the sand out.

#### Preparing for Windstorms

Preparation is key to surviving and thriving in these conditions. Here are some essential tips for dealing with desert windstorms:

1. **Secure Your Structures:** Ensure that all buildings, tents, and other structures are solidly built and securely tied down. Use heavy-duty stakes and ropes for additional support.

2. **Protect Your Assets:** Store loose items indoors or in secured storage to prevent them from being damaged or blown away. Tie down smaller buildings. We tie down the Hut and Dusty Nail General Store using 3,000 lb ratchet straps and either 6 ft T-posts driven halfway into the ground or 3-foot L rebar stakes. Then wet the ground around to harden the caliche.

3. **Be Prepared:** Watch the weather forecast, and don’t leave windows open. We put towels over the bottom rail of the RV windows, close blinds, turn on fans for ventilation, wear masks while outside, and stay in as much as possible.

#### Embracing the Desert Life

Despite these challenges, living off-grid in the desert has its perks. The vast, open landscapes, stunning sunsets, and the serenity of the remote environment make it a unique and fulfilling experience. Embracing the elements, including the windstorms, is part of the adventure.

#### The Resilience of Off-Grid Living

Living off-grid in the desert teaches resilience and adaptability. Each windstorm is a test of our preparedness and ingenuity. Over time, you learn to respect the power of nature and find ways to coexist with it.

#### Conclusion

Living in the desert means adapting to its unique challenges, from windstorms to sand infiltration. With the right preparation and a resilient mindset, these obstacles can be managed, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty and tranquility of off-grid living in the desert.

For more tips and insights on off-grid living, stay tuned to our blog. Together, we can embrace the elements and thrive in the desert.

Desert Community Adventures: Concert, Outdoor Movie & Neighborhood Watch

Ka-Hoon Campground

### Embracing Community Spirit in the Desert: From Concerts to Neighborhood Watches

In the heart of the desert, our community thrives on strong connections and shared experiences. Recently, we embarked on a memorable journey to Albuquerque, attending a concert for our neighbor’s talented son. This trip not only showcased our support for local talent but also reinforced the unity that defines our neighborhood.

#### A Night to Remember: Supporting Local Talent

Traveling to Albuquerque for a concert is always exciting, but this event held special significance as we cheered on our neighbor’s son. The night was filled with incredible music, laughter, and a sense of pride. It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of supporting each other’s passions and dreams. The concert was a perfect example of how our community comes together to celebrate individual achievements.

#### Outdoor Movie Night: Dune 2 Under the Stars

Upon returning from Albuquerque, our community gathered for an outdoor movie night featuring “Dune 2.” Under the vast desert sky, we set up blankets and chairs, ready to immerse ourselves in the epic tale. The atmosphere was magical, with the stars above and the excitement of the movie unfolding on the screen. Outdoor movie nights have become a cherished tradition, providing a relaxing and fun way for neighbors to connect.

#### A Call to Action: The Unexpected Neighborhood Watch

Midway through the movie, our peaceful evening took an unexpected turn. Many of us received calls to join a neighborhood watch effort. Initially concerned, we quickly learned that it was a group of kids looking for a party spot. Although the situation turned out to be harmless, it highlighted the vigilance and care we have for our community. Our swift response reassured everyone that we look out for one another, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment.

#### Building a Stronger Community

These events, from the Albuquerque concert to the impromptu neighborhood watch, underscore the strength and solidarity of our community. Living in the desert brings unique challenges, but it also fosters a sense of closeness and mutual support that is truly special. We are more than just neighbors; we are a family, bound by our shared experiences and collective efforts to create a vibrant and safe community.

#### Join Us in Celebrating Community

Whether it’s cheering on a local artist, enjoying a movie under the stars, or coming together in times of uncertainty, our community exemplifies the power of togetherness. We invite you to join us in celebrating the spirit of our neighborhood. Share your stories, participate in events, and be a part of our journey as we continue to build and strengthen our community in the desert.

For more updates on our community events and initiatives, stay tuned to our blog. Together, we can create unforgettable memories and a thriving, connected neighborhood.
