Little get together here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . Last night we enjoyed having a few of the neighbors over and singing some Karaoke.
Come May 6th we’ll have the stage setup for Jay Floyd . This is a free event and all are welcome to come and join in on the fun! Bring your instruments and play along, or do your own stuff.
Camping is available and can be booked through our website!
This morning we had a big black bull come and visit. He was very respectful and stayed his distance. We try to prevent the cattle from coming into the yard. We can put up a fence but we love the open feeling of the land, and don’t mind seeing the cattle come through. We have put up motion detectors where sirens go off and so far that has kept them out of the yard away from the solar panels. These cattle do not get much human contact and free ranged on 1000s of acres, they don’t care about being around us and tend to keep a distance. We return their respect and give them their space and ask all that come and visit or stay to do the same.
During your stay whether it’s for the Nomad Gathering in the Desert on May 19th to 21st, or seeing Jay Floyd in Concert on May 6th, one of the Camping and Movie nights, Haunted Hay ride, camping or just visiting you may see the cattle pass through or along your route out.
Like any wild animals we do ask that you not to feed the cattle, or try to approach them., They may look friendly, calves may look cute. They can and will hurt you, so respect them and watch them from a distance.
For more information on our events and how to register please visit our website or contact us by email or DM.

We love living out here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun in the desert off-grid most of the time. There are a few conveniences we do miss. One is the ability to have deliveries, we are not able to get mail, packages delivered, which has caused issues in the past. Another one is the ability to take a shower whenever we like, even after getting the shower finished we won’t be able to take a nice long hot shower, as we haul all our water at 250 gallons at a time. Even after the shower is finished we plan to continue to shower at Planet Fitness like we do now.
We have electricity, water, privacy, beautiful views of mountains, sunsets, sunrises, stars, great neighbors, we can be as loud or quiet as we like. We love music, camping, movies and hanging out with others. All we can do here at home without issues. What more can you ask for?

Message from Dreugan the dog:
“Make sure to bring your pets. Though I don’t care for other dogs Amigo the dog does (picture two) and it’d give me a break of playing and just do security and sleep, play when I want to. All Amigo wants to do is play, I can’t do my job while playing all the time, well I can but don’t tell Amigo.” ~Dreugan~
Dec of 2019 our family came to New Mexico to help a friend who lives on a ranch that has been in her family for almost 200 years, by Ruidoso. We had met this lady at a festival she attended and we site managed at. She had asked us to come spend the winter at her place, help clean it up, and build showers etc. so that she could hold festivals. We did come and did a lot of working clearing trees, barbwire, build a water tower for the shower. During our stay we found land we now live on Plateau Hame De Colquhoun . This weekend we are camping at our friends place, helping her with a few things and enjoying tent camping in (feels like) 19 degree nights at over 7000′ .
Don’t forget we have a few events coming up on May 6th live music by Jay Floyd ! This is a Free event, campsites can be reserved on our website.BYOB, 420 friendly!

Living out here on the mesa, one thing we don’t have a lot of are neighbors (we call community members). All of us that are out here try to help each other. One way we try to help is by having community events, including a silent auction during the Nomad Gathering in the Desert . The hope is to use money we get from the silent auction to either buy long range walkie-talkies so all of us out here have a way to communicate if there is an issue. Right now we all rely on our cell phones and some don’t have service where they live. This will give us all a life line to each other.
Here are the ones we are looking at.
SAMCOM FPCN30A Two Way Radios Long Range 5 Watts Walkie Talkies for Adults Rechargeable 2 Way Radios UHF Programmable Handheld Business Radio 1500mAh Battery with Earpieces,Group Call, 6 Packs https://a.co/d/c67Enb8
Not everyone out here has away to keep the walkies charged. Our plan is to setup a charging station on our solar and have an extra walkie so if need be they can change out an uncharged walkie for a charged one.
We also would like to use any extra funds to help fix the roads. These are county roads out here, but the county does not maintain them. Right now a neighbor with a small tractor has been grading them.
Community events and fund raisers include:
Silent Auction during Nomad Gathering
West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride
Dusty Nail General Store isn’t yet raising anything towards community funds. But all the community members can sell their products within the store. We are hoping to add more community products as we grow.
We also talked that once we are up and going a % of all sells will go towards the community funds.
Also some of the community members offer services to campers like meals delivered to your campsite.

Today while taking Brent Colquhoun to the ER I got pulled over for doing 45 in a 35, yes I was speeding, but not on purpose. I was trying to find the hospital as I’ve never been to it, watching signs, Brent wasn’t coherent and wasn’t answering questions when he did it wasn’t making any sense, he also had no color and every move/bump, stop he would only make a painful sound. My anxiety was high, I wanted to get him to the ER, I wasn’t trying to speed, but I did and have no excuse. But the cop pulled us over, I told him I was trying to get to the ER, even asked how much further the cop answered it was just over the hill (something along that line). I wanted the cop to leave so I could get Brent to the hospital as I feared the worst.
I got a ticket, and the cop asked if I wanted to fight it, knowing that it would probably slow it down more I said no, signed the ticket so I could get to the ER.
I’m not so much upset about the ticket as I am that he slowed us down from getting help. Brent is okay now, it was a bad infection, but we didn’t know at the time and when someone that is usually very coherent, independent and strong gets sick like that it’s scary.
So thanks officer S. Ramirez and the Socorro PD for little public service today!
