🎃 Haunted Hayride Vault! Spooky Fun & Community Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground 🚜🔥
Haunted Hayride Memories: A Look Back at Our Spooky Community Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground 🎃🚜
This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events — the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**
The hayride wasn’t just about spooky fun — it was about **bringing people together**. All hayride proceeds went right back into the community, helping fund **projects and improvements** that everyone could enjoy together.
Alongside the hayride, we filled the night with **live bands**, **campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**, **games**, **bonfires**, **potlucks**, and more. Every year brought something a little different — new faces, new frights, and new memories.
Whether you were here for the music, the laughter, or the screams echoing through the desert night, each Haunted Hayride was a reminder of what makes this community so special — people coming together under the stars.
👻 **Each year’s events vary**, and the Hayride may or may not return, so **stay tuned for our 2026 schedule!** You never know what spooky surprises might be waiting in the desert…

Solar Chaos to Success! 5 Years Off-Grid & Our Biggest Lesson Yet ⚡🎤
5 Years Off-Grid: Solar Troubles, Triumphs & Celebration at Ka-Hoon Campground 🌞🎤
Today marks **five incredible years** of living off-grid on our land — October 18th, 2020! To celebrate, we’re hosting a special **Open Mic Night** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, livestreamed at **6 PM MDT** on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.
In honor of our anniversary, we’re opening the **vault** once again with **Part 2 of our 8k solar build** — a real story of challenges, lessons, and victory.
During the build, we ran into major issues when **two solar controllers stopped working**. At first, we thought we’d done something wrong, but after bringing in a **certified solar technician**, we discovered that **everything was wired correctly**.
The real culprit? The **manufacturer had wired the combiner box backwards**, which caused it to **feed back into the controllers**, burning them out! Thankfully, **Shop Solar Kits** stood behind their products, sending us a **new combiner box and controller** and even covering the **technician’s cost**.
Once everything was replaced, the system ran perfectly — finally bringing power to our **Greenroom and Music Studio**, and temporarily powering our **RV** until the 5k solar setup is complete.
This project is a reminder that **living off-grid isn’t always easy**, but every challenge makes the reward that much brighter. Come celebrate our 5-year milestone — **music, laughter, and community under the desert sky.**
🎤 **Open Mic Night – October 18th, 6 PM MDT**
📍 **Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center**

🔥 Raking the Desert for Magic! Preparing the Sand for Our Rangoli of Intentions 🌙
Preparing the Desert for the Rangoli: Raking the Ground for Our Night of Intentions
As we prepare for our **Rangoli celebration on November 1st** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, the desert is becoming our canvas. This night is all about **manifesting goals, intentions, and personal transformation** beneath the wide New Mexico sky.
Instead of using chalk or powders, we’ll be **drawing directly into the sand**—letting the natural earth guide our designs. Each participant will create their own **Rangoli of Intentions**, using simple tools or even their hands to carve symbols that represent what they want to attract, release, or change in their lives.
To prepare, we’ve begun our **first raking of the ground**, softening and smoothing the desert floor so it’s ready for creation. The process itself feels symbolic—clearing away the old to make space for new energy.
When the Rangolis are complete, we’ll gather around the **bonfire**, dance, and celebrate the intentions we’ve set together. The night will blend **art, energy, and community**, bringing light and purpose to the desert sands.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind off-grid experience—where the earth itself becomes the medium for manifestation.

First Snow in the Desert! Off-Grid Life Takes a Chilly Turn ❄️
Our First Snow on the Land – A Touch of Minnesota in the Desert
Our first snow here on the land brought back memories of Minnesota — the beauty, the quiet, and that familiar winter chill. While we don’t miss the extreme cold or the long months of snow from back home, this short visit from winter gave us a moment to pause and enjoy the peacefulness it brings.
Living off-grid in the desert, snow is rare but magical when it happens. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come — from Minnesota winters to off-grid living in New Mexico. Even when challenges arise, moments like these remind us why we love this life.
***In honor of our 5th anniversary on Saturday, October 18th, we’ll be hosting an Open Mic Night!***
Come celebrate with us — join in person, stay a few hours, camp for the night (or longer!), or tune in live on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok profile**.

Caught on Camera! Our First Off-Grid Intruder at Ka-Hoon Campground 😱
Caught on Camera: Our First Months Off-Grid and an Unexpected Visitor!
When we first moved to the desert, every day was a new challenge — and a lesson in staying prepared. During our early months at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)**, we installed a security camera before heading into town, knowing that trips weren’t quick and our belongings were left vulnerable.
Not long after, that camera paid off. We caught a visitor on video trying to walk off with something that didn’t belong to them! Thankfully, we had chained the axles of our trailer, and it was empty at the time — that same trailer later became what we now call **The Hut**, our compost toilet.
It was one of those off-grid moments that reminds you why preparation matters. Every experience — even the tough ones — helped shape who we are today.
Now, as we celebrate **five years off-grid**, we invite you to join us for our **5th Anniversary Open Mic Night** on **Saturday, October 18th**. Come in person, stay for a night or a weekend, or tune in live from home on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok** profile.
Life off-grid isn’t always easy — but every story, every lesson, and every bit of resilience makes it worth it.

Desert Wind DESTROYS Our Shower & Kitchen — You Won’t Believe What Survived!
Desert Winds Take Out Our New Shower and Kitchen — But We Refuse to Quit!
Life off-grid isn’t always sunshine and stars — sometimes it’s high desert winds trying to blow everything down! In this vault video, the wind took out both our newly built shower and kitchen setup. Luckily, we managed to patch them up and keep things running a bit longer!
Every project teaches us something new about resilience, adaptability, and perseverance. Living off-grid at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun (Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center)** means embracing the elements and learning to rebuild stronger each time.
Join us as we celebrate **five years off-grid**! In honor of our 5th anniversary on **Saturday, October 18th**, we’re hosting an **Open Mic Night** — come out in person, camp a night (or more), or join live from home on our **Colquhoun Entertainment TikTok** profile.
Whether it’s music, laughter, or rebuilding after the wind, we keep moving forward — desert strong!

We Built Our First Solar Power System Off-Grid — Here’s What We Learned!
Learning Solar Power Off-Grid: Our First 3K EcoWorthy Solar Build*
When we first moved off-grid, we knew that solar power would be essential — but we didn’t know where to start. Building our first solar setup, a 3K EcoWorthy solar system, was definitely a learning curve. Neither of us had ever set up a solar array before, but with a little trial and error — and a few calls to a friend who had experience — we made it happen!
That first setup powered our essential equipment and helped us truly begin living independently in the desert. We quickly realized that solar wasn’t as complicated as it first seemed — just a matter of patience, problem-solving, and willingness to learn.
Every system since then has gotten better, stronger, and more efficient. We’ve come a long way since those first panels went up!
***In honor of our 5th anniversary on Saturday, October 18th, we’ll be hosting an Open Mic Night!***
