**Embracing Life on the Mesa: A Journey Back in Time**
Living on top of the mesa, where time seems to have forgotten, brings a certain magic to everyday life. Imagine sitting by the window with a warm cup of coffee, gazing out over the vast desert landscape. It’s easy to envision scenes from an old Western—perhaps a cowboy gathering cattle in the distance or a native hunter silently moving through the brush. Out here, imagination feels closer to reality, and the echoes of the past blend seamlessly into the present.
Some people might think our way of life is unusual; others might commend us for following our vision. But ultimately, this way of life is deeply personal and meaningful for us.
When we first settled on our land, we felt a profound need to honor the land’s history and those who came before us. So, we sought the ancestors’ approval, asking them to protect and guide us as we embarked on this journey. Our promise to them—and to ourselves—was to care for the land, respecting its natural beauty and spirit.
In creating our off-grid campground and event center, we wanted to offer more than a simple place to stay. We envisioned a haven where people could truly be themselves, free from the judgments and confines of conventional life. A place where like-minded individuals could gather, form connections, and build a small, supportive community.
Life on the mesa isn’t without its challenges. But every gust of wind and every grain of sand carries with it a story, a reminder that we’re part of something larger. Our goal is to share that experience with others, offering a place of belonging and freedom, rooted in respect for the land and each other.
So, whether you’re a traveler seeking solitude or a soul in search of community, we invite you to come and experience the mesa—a place where history, nature, and freedom unite.

Life in the Desert and getting services
Living in the desert is quiet, peaceful with beautiful views of mountains, fresh air, and the most awestruck views of the night sky.
But like with every pro there is a con. The big con for us is deliveries and services, we are not able to get US Postal Service , UPS , or FedEx to come out. Yesterday was yet another disappointing service failure #trashpickup. All our neighbors agreed to want some type of trash pickup service, as like us, they hate having to haul it off ourselves, for an often wasted two hour trip because the landfill seems only to be open as they choose to.
Yet again we got nothing but disappointment, not because the trash company won’t come, but the cost of them coming.. Not only would there be a monthly trash bill, but also a mileage and hourly bill for their driver, as they say it’s to far out (remind you we are only 14 miles from town). But this company Valley Sanitation, LLC. . has the only contract with the county of Socorro and in order for them to get here they have to drive out of their way to Belen which is in a different county.
There is a south access up here that would save about 50 miles, but the county is unwilling to maintain it, so right now it is not passable for a vehicles of any type. If this access was available we would have just normal costs for service as well as other availabilities. It’s really a waste for us that we live in a county when we can’t even access the county or the services our taxes are providing for. Maybe, #MichelleLujanGrisham our Governor here in New Mexico will have a different perspective.
