Busy Labor Day weekend at Ka-Hoon Campground with community BBQ, camping, and lending a helping hand.
Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend! We don’t have too much planned, but we’re excited to have a bunch of folks from the community over for a BBQ today.
There isn’t much news to report, but we’re definitely enjoying the cooler days. Brent has been busy helping out around the community, which he loves doing. He recently helped a neighbor install a new breaker box and wire in some GFI plugs to support their dialysis machine. He also spent most of the day driving another neighbor, who doesn’t have a vehicle right now, to town for errands and groceries.
We’ve had a nice weekend with campers enjoying the cooler weather. Yesterday, we took some time to fix the solar lights that the cattle love to knock down.
Last night was Anne’s first real shift at Love’s, and she seemed to enjoy it. It was a bit tough on us, as we worried about her working the late shift. Thankfully, a few folks from our community stopped by the store to check on her and then reported back to us, which really helped ease our minds.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!

Prepare for the Ultimate Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**Get Ready for the Halloween Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!**
The Halloween Hootenanny is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning how you’ll make your campsite stand out during this spooktacular event! Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
### 1. **Spooky Campsite Decorations**
If you’re looking to give your campsite a hauntingly festive makeover, consider adding some of these elements:
– **Pumpkin Lanterns**: Carve out pumpkins and place LED lights inside to create a spooky glow around your site.
– **Cobwebs and Spiders**: String up faux cobwebs and scatter plastic spiders around your tent or RV to add a creepy touch.
– **Ghostly Figures**: Create ghost decorations using white sheets or fabric and hang them from trees or poles for a floating effect.
– **Graveyard Scene**: Make your own DIY tombstones out of cardboard or foam and set up a mini graveyard at your site.
### 2. **Simple Lighting for a Welcoming Glow**
If you prefer not to go all out with decorations but still want to participate in the fun, just adding some lighting can make a big difference:
– **String Lights**: Hang up orange or purple string lights around your campsite to add a festive atmosphere.
– **Lanterns**: Use lanterns to light up your space, creating a warm and inviting glow for trick-or-treaters.
– **Glow Sticks**: Place glow sticks in jars or hang them around your campsite for an easy, low-maintenance way to add some Halloween spirit.
### 3. **Creepy Crawl: A Trick-or-Treat Adventure**
Remember, our Creepy Crawl trick-or-treating event is for both adults and children, so feel free to get creative with your treats! If you plan to hand out “adult” treats (like spiked cider or special candies), please check arm bands to ensure no one underage receives them.
### **Important Schedule Update**
We’ve moved the **Costume Contest** to the same night as the Creepy Crawl! This way, everyone can enjoy a full evening of costumes, treats, and Halloween fun. So start planning your costumes now—whether you’re going for spooky, funny, or creative, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
For more details on the event and camping reservations, be sure to check out our website. Get ready for a hauntingly good time at the Halloween Hootenanny!

Embracing a Rainy Day in the Desert: Cozy Camp Vibes and Unexpected Showers at Ka-Hoon Campground
**A Cool Change at Ka-Hoon Campground**
The weather finally cooled off, at least for a day or two. Yesterday brought some much-needed cloud cover. Though we didn’t get a lot of rain here, we did experience some light showers off and on throughout the day, while the valleys seemed to get hit pretty good.
With the cloudy skies, we had to conserve solar power. This meant skipping our usual rehearsal and brewing our coffee in the percolator instead of the auto drip machine—which is fine by us since we love the taste of percolator coffee more! Even with limited power, we managed to watch a movie, run fans, listen to the radio, and charge our phones.
Anne’s solar setup went down this morning, which was the first time in a year. Thankfully, the sun is out now, and it won’t be long before her batteries are charged again.
Our solar setup is relatively large compared to some of our neighbors. A few don’t have solar at all and rely entirely on generators. When we first moved out here, all we had were generators too. We would run them once or twice a day for a few hours to charge our phones and watch some TV. Our first solar panel was a small setup that we now use in the Hut to power a light. It’s small but reliable, with two USB ports and the capacity to run two 2-watt lights most of the night.
Life off-grid requires adjustments and adaptability, but there’s a unique satisfaction in being self-sufficient and making do with what we have.

### Life at Ka-Hoon Campground: Helping Hands and Community Spirit
The past couple of days have been busy, but in the best way possible. Between assisting campers, rehearsing, and giving tours, our days are filled with activity and purpose. We love being part of this vibrant community and helping out wherever we can.
Just yesterday, we lent a hand to a neighbor who needed help towing his truck to a local mechanic. Today, we’re running errands with another neighbor to pick up concrete and other building supplies for his new home. It’s moments like these that make us appreciate the close-knit community we’ve built here.
For those unfamiliar with our journey to New Mexico, check out our early YouTube videos to see how it all began. We originally came here to help a lady clean up her property so she could host events. Now, she’s invited us back for a visit and some work. We’re looking forward to camping out there for a few days and enjoying some time in nature. Although some think we’re camping full-time, for us, living here is more than just camping—it’s a lifestyle we cherish.
If you happen to stop by the Love’s Travel Stops in Belen and see Anne working, be sure to say hello! Buy something, mention that you saw this post, and if you leave her a note with your name, email, or phone number, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a free “I Survived Music in the Desert” T-shirt. The winner will be announced at the Halloween Hootenanny!
Thank you for being part of our community and supporting our journey. We couldn’t do it without you!

Experience the Best of Community and Nature at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**A Weekend of Community and Family Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground**
This past Saturday, we hosted our monthly Members Only community event, and it was a great success! We had a wonderful turnout, with members coming together to enjoy a tour of the mesa, followed by a relaxing movie night under the stars. It was an enjoyable evening filled with laughter and good company.
On Sunday, we took a well-deserved day off to spend some quality family time. We visited the Range Cafe for the first time, where we indulged in a delicious meal. It was a delightful experience that added a nice touch to our weekend.
As we begin the new week, we are thrilled to welcome new campers to Ka-Hoon Campground. There’s something special about seeing visitors immerse themselves in the beautiful surroundings and make the most of their stay. We always look forward to these moments and the opportunity to share our little slice of paradise with others.
Looking ahead, we’re excited for the upcoming events and the continued sense of community that makes Ka-Hoon Campground such a unique and welcoming place.

From Campers to Neighbors: Welcoming New Friends to Our Desert Community!
**Embracing New Beginnings in Our Desert Community**
Today marks the first day in months that we don’t have a camper staying with us, and the place feels a bit empty. However, it’s a good kind of empty, filled with the warmth of friendships made and the excitement of new beginnings.
The camper who just checked out came to us when they transferred from their old job at an Amazon distribution center in Colorado to the new Amazon distribution center in Los Lunas. During their stay, they became more than just guests—they became friends. Our little community here in the desert grew to know and appreciate them, and we’re thrilled to hear that they’ve fallen in love with the area just as much as we have.
They’re not going far, either—they’re in the process of buying some land not too far from us. So, while it might feel like a goodbye, it’s really just a “see you soon.” We’re excited to officially welcome them as permanent members of our growing community. Here in the desert, it’s never really goodbye; it’s more of a “welcome home.”
