Grateful Mornings and Healing Moments at Ka-Hoon Campground


As I sip my morning coffee and watch the desert sunrise, my heart is full of gratitude. This past week has tested us in ways we never expected—but it’s also reminded us how blessed we are.

While we were at the hospital, our amazing Ka-Hoon community stepped up in big ways. Campers took charge, welcoming new arrivals with kindness and care. My oldest brother helped bring Bryandt home so he could be by his dad’s side. Neighbors made sure Anne got to and from work safely and checked in on things at camp.

And the best news? Brent is home. He’s regaining strength every day. He’s starting to move his fingers again… and yes, *he can sing!* The healing journey isn’t over, but each day brings progress and hope.

To all of you who’ve supported us—thank you. From our family to yours, we’re so grateful to share this space and this journey with such an incredible community.

Just 2 Days After Stroke Surgery… He Sings Again – You Won’t Believe This Comeback!

Rising from the Ashes – A Week of Strength, Music, and Miracles**

This past week has been one of the hardest we’ve ever faced here at Ka-Hoon Campground & Colquhoun Entertainment. On Monday, our own Advocatus Diaboli suffered a subcortical stroke—unexpected, frightening, and life-altering. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty, hospital visits, and prayer. By Friday, he was in surgery to repair the artery causing the damage. 

Doctors weren’t sure what the outcome would be. They even warned us he might not be able to sing again. But if you know Advocatus Diaboli, you know he doesn’t give up easily.

Just two days after surgery, he defied the odds—he sang again. Not at full strength yet, but close. And if you watch the video, you’ll see the fire is still there. 

This isn’t just a story about music—it’s about grit, healing, and the power of community. We’re beyond grateful for those who’ve stood by us, sent love, and kept the music alive. 

The desert can be quiet, but strength grows in the silence. We’re still here, still singing.

Taking a Moment: Life Happens, But the Desert Still Calls**

We know it’s been quiet on our end lately, and we haven’t been active on social media. Life threw us a curveball with a recent medical emergency, and we’ve had to step back to focus on healing and family. We appreciate your understanding and support more than words can express.

Unfortunately, this means we’ll be canceling the **Open Mic Night** scheduled for this coming **Saturday**. We hope to bring it back soon, stronger and better than ever.

In the meantime, **camping at Ka-Hoon Campground is still open**, and we welcome all who are looking for a peaceful New Mexico getaway. Whether you need a weekend to reset or just want to enjoy the quiet desert skies, our little corner of the world is still here for you.

Thanks again for your patience and continued support. We’ll see you soon—under the stars.

Join Us for a Unique Off-Grid Open Mic Night & Summer Hootenanny at Ka-Hoon Campground!

Kicking Off the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground: Open Mic Night & Upcoming Summer Hootenanny!**

Spring is slowly settling in here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, and we’re gearing up for our **first small event of the season on April 19th**! This year, we’re trying something new with a **hybrid Open Mic Night** — both **in-person** and **online**. Can’t make it out to the desert? No problem! Join us on TikTok (details coming soon) and be a part of the fun from wherever you are.

We’ll likely start earlier for our in-person performers, then move online after dark. TikTok has a few limitations on songs, so we’re planning around that — stay tuned for finalized times and links!

Even though we haven’t made much progress on projects around the campground (thanks to the wind and a steady flow of campers), it’s been busy in all the best ways. Brent’s still struggling with his arm, but he’s seeing an orthopedic specialist this week — fingers crossed for good news and a simple fix. He’s ready to get back to using his hand and helping out more again.

**Looking ahead to July**, we’re excited to announce our **Halloween in the Summer Hootenanny** — an epic weekend of camping, music, and spooky fun under the desert stars. Decorate your campsite, join the campsite trick-or-treating, show off your costume, and even vend your handmade or unique goods if you’d like.

**Event Highlights:**
– **Live performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**
– **Campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**
– **Costume contest**
– **Free entry for attendees**
– **Free vending for campers**
– **$12 for non-camping vendors (covers the whole weekend)**
– **$12 per campsite/night (up to 5 people per site)**

Got a bigger group? Reach out — we’re happy to work with you.

**Ready to experience off-grid fun, good vibes, and a safe space to be yourself?** Come join us in the beautiful New Mexico desert. Visit our website for details, directions, and more:

Surviving Desert Life: Wind, Sand, and Endless Skies – The Off-Grid Experience at Ka-Hoon Campground!

**Desert Life: When the Wind Gives You Exfoliation for Free** 

Living in the New Mexico desert is an adventure—one that comes with a complimentary sandblasting treatment. If you’ve ever wondered what sand tastes like, don’t worry, the desert makes sure you find out. It sneaks into your ears, eyes, and somehow, despite all logic, through the tiniest cracks in your RV, tent, or even a fully sealed house. By morning, you wake up with a fine layer of desert dust decorating everything, no matter how well you thought you secured it. 

Winter sand? Ice-cold and sharp as tiny knives. Summer sand? Hot enough to brand your feet if you step out barefoot. Yet, through it all, we wouldn’t trade this life for anything. The **skies stretch endlessly**, the **silence is pure**, and the **landscapes are breathtaking**. 

Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we embrace the quirks of desert life—wind, sand, and all. It’s a place where you can unplug, unwind, and be yourself, surrounded by the rugged beauty of New Mexico. Whether you want to **gather around the firepit**, **camp under the stars**, or just **enjoy the peace and quiet**, this is your space. 

**Join the Adventure** 
No judgment, no stress—just freedom and fresh (sometimes sandy) air. **Visit http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com to learn more!**

Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend: Weillow’s Journey and Final Goodbye 

Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend: Weillow’s Journey and Final Goodbye 

Yesterday, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I wanted someone else to make it for me, but deep down, I knew it had to be me. 

**Weillow** has been my trusted companion for nearly **15 years**. I still remember the day I found her at work—a tiny, skinny puppy placed on my lap. She crawled up to me and refused to leave. In that moment, I knew she was meant to be mine. I took her straight to the vet, who wasn’t sure she would survive, but **Weillow was a fighter.** 

Over the years, we did so much together. She **attended college** with me, **came to work**, and even **joined me on horseback rides**. She was by my side through every milestone—including the day I met Brent. 

But cancer was slowly taking her from me. I did everything I could to keep her comfortable, but I realized I was holding on for my sake, not hers. **She deserved peace.** Yesterday, I helped her cross over the **Rainbow Bridge**, where she is now pain-free, running and playing with her best friend, Litha. 

Rest in Peace, my little girl.  
**Weillow** (October 2010 – March 27, 2025) 

If you’ve ever had to make this difficult decision, you know how heartbreaking it is. Cherish every moment with your pets—they give us unconditional love and ask for so little in return.
