**Surviving the High Winds and a Stubborn Cold—Desert Life Edition**
We’re on **day two** of relentless high winds, and while we’ve learned over the years how to secure just about everything, there’s always something we forget—like an entire **trash bag**, a **clothes hamper full of laundry**, or even **part of a car seat** left behind by a camper. That last one has taken a few trips across the yard, courtesy of Mother Nature, and now it’s on our ever-growing list of things to haul off.
If there’s ever a “perfect” time to be sick, I guess this would be it (though I’d gladly skip the sick part). Both of us have been battling a cold—**negative for flu and COVID**, thankfully—but it’s still draining. No fevers or body aches, but plenty of **sore throats, low energy, and overall crankiness**. And let’s just say my voice is practically nonexistent at this point.
So, how did we spend this windblown, sickness-induced lockdown? **Benadryled up, buried under blankets, and binge-watching *Stranger Things*.** Sometimes, you just have to embrace the forced downtime and let the storm pass—both the one outside and the one raging in your sinuses.
Here’s hoping for **calmer skies, better health, and fewer runaway objects in the yard** in the coming days!

Enduring the January Winds at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
Enduring the January Winds at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
As the winds of January sweep across the desert, we find ourselves in the midst of their biting embrace at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. The air is sharp, and the gusts carry the whisper of distant storms, reminding us of the ever-changing nature of the world around us. Yet, even in the face of these fierce winds, there is a beauty to be found in their power, a testament to the strength and resilience of nature.
At Ka-Hoon, we are no strangers to the elements. The winds may howl, but they cannot deter us from creating a space where individuals may come together and experience the desert’s wonders. We stand firm, embracing both the challenges and the magnificence that each new day brings.
Though the January winds may make the days colder and the nights longer, they also remind us of the warmth found in community, the strength that comes from perseverance, and the importance of creating a place to call home—even in the midst of a storm.
Let the winds of January pass, for in their wake, we shall find clearer skies and calmer days.
