New Stage

Ka-Hoon Campground

The new stage, we figured out how to level the stage platform, but meant buying material. The base is finished, now we just need to add the platform, level and add the ramp.

Everything is looking good for the April Fool’s Open Mic ! A free event starts at noon.. BYOB and 420 friendly!

For the Nomad Gathering in the Desert we are hoping to have the shower finished by.

Nomad Gathering is a weekend event, with talent show, movie, bonfires, silent auction, live music, vendors, food vendors…

Day 2 Stage Build issues.

Ka-Hoon Campground

Day 2 of the stage we weren’t able to get as much done as we would have liked. The issue of Modern Pioneerism is that you have to think outside the box. Sometimes your plans and Ideas go as you plan, other times it takes some rethinking, planning and maybe some good neighbors to help. This was the case yesterday. But with the help of friends we are back on track..

The poles are in place, next is leveling (which was the hangup. How do we level the top of the stage? We had considered concrete, building a wood frame, packing with sand, many of these are against the Modern Pioneerism idea which is okay if we need to do it we will and have on other projects. But we think we got it figured out, and it’ll keep everything within our ideas.

Day 2 Stage Build at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Today we start day 2 of the stage build. The new stage is staying with our theme Modern Pioneerism meaning using modern recycled materials to build or achieve our goal. As many know we have a high power powerline that runs by our property. Last month the power company replaced a bunch of the poles. We allowed the workers to use our driveway, park their equipment by our place. In trade for 15 poles and plugs. Neighbors took the poles, we got the plugs.

We are using the plugs to build the stage (plugs are the part of the pole that was buried in the ground. Each pole is around 600 lbs and we are using 10 poles (that we are moving in place by hand).

Today we work on finishing placing the poles, leveling. The new stage will be the same size as the old 16×16 with a riser. Height was about 1 foot, new stage about 3 foot. We will still be able to break the stage down to setup a smaller stage like in the photo.

I will post more photos, videos of the work.

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun Projects and Report upcoming events

Ka-Hoon Campground

Not a lot to report.. We have been working planning the Haunted Hay Ride a community event that is being held up here on the mesa in October 21st. We also have a private event in November, and are working on doing another concert of some type here in the near future.

@JAFO Productions which is the music production, sound engineer part of the Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC, will be running lights and sound at an upcoming  @B Town Bike Rally Belen New Mexico where I’ll also be running a booth for @plateauhamedecolquhoun .

Other Projects: The famous shower, we’ve been working on for awhile, has experienced  some issues that have put the project on a temporary hold. We are hoping soon to start building another 5k solar system, The issue with this project is the cost of lumber. Which is causing us to find alternative low cost frames for the panels. We’ve been trying to find bigger pallets that the panels will fit on.

We also like to build a deck over the blue moon which includes a roof over the stage, again cost of lumber and lack of finding good shape, low cost recycled lumber, tin..

Modern Pioneerism is using recycled or inexpensive items that help us survive living off grid on harsh land that no one has lived on before.

Another day gone

Ka-Hoon Campground

Another day gone, other then working on sage we worked on the Blue Moon container.. Getting it air tight for the music gear!! Our next big project is figuring out a stage. We had been wanting to build one, but feel the price of lumber it’d be cheaper to find an alternative. Few things we’ve been watching for is a Flatbed trailer, plastic, wood pallets..
