Mini Sage Sticks

June 6, 2023 Ka-Hoon Campground

Hope everyone week is going well, I have been busy rolling sage sticks. When we lived in Minnesota Brent and I would spend a weekend every fall harvesting wild sage dry it and then create mini sage sticks. While visiting Minnesota last fall I had harvested some sage that I am now bundling.

Everyone that comes out and camps here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun gets a welcome packet that includes a mini sage stick that we harvest and bundle ourselves.

The first 5 people to pre-register for the June 17 camping and Movie Night will get a free gift bag that will include one of our mini sage sticks, along with some other goodies from the Dusty Nail General Store .

Visit our website to pre-register!

First day of college, laundry and dogs

June 5, 2023 Ka-Hoon Campground

This morning while taking Anne Calhoun to her first day of College. Brent and I took advantage of the trip into town to get the laundry done. While sitting here at the laundromat I look in the back to see Amigo and Dreugan laying together. All the windows are down, I’m sitting in the car with them, and sitting in the shade, yet they both want to have the same window.

Date Nights in Colorado

May 30, 2023 Ka-Hoon Campground

Brent and I went to Zig Zag Smokin’ Burger last night. It was very good food and I drink my first ever Zombie Drink. Which is funny because they serve it in a pineapple cup.

We are staying at a Hilton Garden Inn in Englewood Colorado. The bed here is okay but I like our bed better. It’s nice having an accessible shower, but hopefully soon we’ll have one. Tonight we’ll be at The Ogden Theatre to see Helloween Power Metal .

Don’t forget in Just 17 days the Camping and Movie night at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun will take place. Enjoy watching Avatar the way of Water under the night desert skies!

Laundry Day, Hauling water and the New Shower

May 26, 2023 Ka-Hoon Campground

Last night we relaxed and hung out with some friends. Today is laundry day. Which means spending most of the day in town getting laundry done. While there we also stop and pick up the mail, fill up a couple of 5 gallons of water, hitting Planet Fitness for showers, then probably doing a quick Walmart run before heading back home.

If you’re like us, we don’t look forward to laundry day. When we first moved here we thought we’d save some money and only wash the clothes then dry them here at home. Well that was a huge mistake, wet clothes and sand don’t go together. Not to mention how the sun bleached everything out. Needless to say we quit doing that and now dry out clothes at the laundromat.

Every time we go into town we fill 5 gallon jugs of water. Right now this is our only water source.

Once the shower is built we will be hauling 300 gallons of water at a time that will mainly only be for the shower. We still need to purchase one more IBC tote that will remain in the 20 ft box trailer and be the water tank for the shower. We will have a 300 gallon tote in the pickup that we use to haul the water.

Since we have to haul all our water, we are not yet sure how we are going to run the shower. Do we add a charge per person for nightly stay, or once they are here they can purchase a shower? We kinda like the idea of waiting until they are here and can pay if they want a shower, as not everyone that stays will want a shower. Let us know what you think, and what you think would be a reasonable charge for a shower.

Ignore the heater in the photo I have not yet stored it for the summer, also the trash bags you see is our recycling*

Neighbors, Community and event’s

May 25, 2023 Ka-Hoon Campground

10 am and 87 degrees out. Last night Brent and a couple of the neighbors ran to Albuquerque to buy some railroad ties Brent found on the Market place. Though we didn’t get any ourselves, both neighbors needed them and didn’t have a vehicle big enough to haul them. Brent being Brent offered his truck and drove them. This morning he went to unload the ties, and help plant some posts.

We love how most of the neighbors come together and help each other. We do community events here and Dusty Nail General Store sells items we all have made art, jewelry, wash clothes plus other items.

Community events all the funds go back towards the community and community needs. The West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride is such an event. This year it will run for two nights. This Hayride isn’t for the faint of heart.

During your camping we have a neighbor that offers meals and eggs delivered to your campsite. She also cooks during events such as the Nomad Gathering in the Desert . Her menu can be found on the website.

You are welcome to come camp and or attend an event and experience this magical, beautiful landscape, atmosphere yourselves!
