The Free-Range Cattle Rang the Doorbell Again (And Wrecked the Solar Lights)

Ka-Hoon Campground

If you think off-grid desert living is peaceful… you’ve never had free-range cattle ring your doorbell.

Yes. Ring. The. Doorbell.

Out here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, home of Music in the Desert, we share the land with sunsets, coyotes, stargazers… and apparently very bold cattle with boundary issues.

Last night the free-range cattle came back.
They didn’t just pass through.

They:

• rubbed against the posts
• bent a few poles
• snapped some solar lights
• and politely rang the doorbell before leaving

This is what real off-grid life in New Mexico looks like.

While most venues worry about parking tickets, we’re out here replacing solar lights because a 1,200-pound cow wanted to scratch its shoulder.

But that’s desert life.
Wild. Unfiltered. Slightly destructive.

And honestly? We wouldn’t trade it.

Because when the sun sets and Music in the Desert goes live, there’s nothing like live music under the New Mexico sky — even if the cattle were here first.

If you’re looking for authentic off-grid camping, live desert music, stargazing, and occasional livestock shenanigans… welcome home.

Sanctuary of Intricacies: Advocatus Diaboli’s Surprise Karaoke Performance After Music in the Desert

Ka-Hoon Campground

Something unexpected — and honestly a little magical — happened after Music in the Desert this week here at Plateau hame de Colquhoun.

Every show night, once our live stream ends from Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center, we do what our community has come to call “The Jump.”

The Jump is simple in idea, but powerful in effect.

After our broadcast, we travel together as a group into another creator’s live stream — usually a karaoke host — not to take over, but to support. We encourage our viewers to follow along, meet new people, support performers, and help smaller creators grow. It has become one of the most community-building traditions of Colquhoun

Colquhoun Entertainment.

This time, we landed inside Iluvpots Karaoke.

And that’s when something special happened.

A Song We Didn’t Plan

While visiting the live, Advocatus Diaboli decided to perform an original song titled:

“Sanctuary of Intricacies.”

The performance wasn’t scheduled, rehearsed for a show, or promoted beforehand. It was spontaneous — the way some of the best art happens. With Melodious moderating and our community gathered in support, the live karaoke room suddenly became a small concert venue.

The song carries a reflective tone and fits perfectly with what Music in the Desert has always been about: connection, creativity, and shared moments between strangers who become friends.

Moments like this are exactly why we do The Jump.

We don’t just stream a show — we build bridges between communities.

What “The Jump” Really Is

The Jump is not a raid for attention.
It is a gesture of appreciation.

We invite our audience to join us in supporting another host, cheering on performers, and helping create a welcoming atmosphere. Sometimes Advocatus Diaboli sings covers, sometimes parodies, and occasionally — like this night — an original piece appears.

“Sanctuary of Intricacies” became one of those rare moments where the audience, the host, and the performers all experienced something unplanned together.

That is the spirit behind Music in the Desert.

Join Us Live

We stream Music in the Desert multiple nights every week from the New Mexico desert at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center, part of Plateau hame de Colquhoun.

🎵 Live performances by Advocatus Diaboli
🛎 Moderated by Melodious
🌵 Presented by Colquhoun Entertainment

Join us every:

  • Tuesday
  • Thursday
  • Saturday

After each show… we Jump.

And you’re invited to come along.

You never know where the night will lead — or where the next song will be heard.

Thursday Thoughts: Sometimes the Light at the End of the Tunnel is Just a Crazy Person

Ka-Hoon Campground

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just a crazy person with a torch… but hey, at least it ain’t boring!

Here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, life off-grid teaches us that inspiration doesn’t always arrive politely on schedule. Some days, the universe sends it with a wink, a spark, or a little chaos — like our Thursday quote reminds us.

Our desert home encourages reflection, laughter, and embracing the unexpected. Whether you’re navigating a literal desert or the deserts of your own life, it’s important to notice the moments that make you smile… even if they’re a little snarky.

A Thursday Reminder

  • Life isn’t always predictable.
  • The light at the end of the tunnel might be unconventional.
  • Laugh at the chaos, and keep moving forward.

This Thursday, Feb 19, 2026, take a moment to appreciate the quirky sparks of inspiration in your life. Whether it’s a wild idea, a sudden insight, or just the desert sunset reminding you that everything is impermanent, find joy in the unexpected.

The Sun Sets, the Music Starts: Why Music in the Desert Now Streams at 6 PM

Ka-Hoon Campground

Life off-grid changes how you think about time.

At most venues, a showtime is decided by a clock on the wall. At Plateau hame de colquhoun, home of Ka-Hoon Campground and the Ka-Hoon Event Center, our schedule is set by something much older — the sunset.

Here at Colquhoun Entertainment, we power our livestreams using solar energy. That means when the days grow longer, our batteries charge later… and the show naturally moves later too.

So Music in the Desert now begins at 6 PM MST.

A Solar-Powered Show

Our weekly livestream isn’t a traditional performance. It’s a desert experience shared online. Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and moderated by Melodious, the show mixes music, comedy, conversation, and the unpredictability of real life in the New Mexico desert.

The glow of evening, cooler air, and a charged battery bank make sunset the perfect moment to go live. Instead of forcing the desert to match a schedule, we let nature set the timing.

More Than a Livestream

Each week, viewers tune in for:

  • Live music performances
  • Karaoke & talent contests
  • Behind-the-scenes desert adventures
  • Spontaneous moments of humor, improvisation, and community

Whether you’re joining from your home or camping on-site, the desert atmosphere comes alive through the screen. The experience is as much about connection as it is about entertainment.

When and Where

  • Time: Every Tuesday,  Thursday & Saturday at 6 PM MST
  • Location: Streaming live from Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center
    • Tiktok and YouTube Colquhoun Entertainment
  • Host: Advocatus Diaboli
  • Moderator: Melodious

Stay tuned for special shows and events throughout the season. Each livestream captures the unique rhythms of desert life, powered entirely by solar energy and the beauty of nature’s timing.

The Desert Tried to Evict Us Again (But the RV Said Nope)

Ka-Hoon Campground

The Wind Lives Here (We Just Pay Rent)

The desert does not do gentle.

It doesn’t breeze.
It doesn’t drift.
It arrives — like it owns the place
and we forgot to check the lease.

The wind out here has a personality disorder.
One minute: postcard sunset.
Next minute: airborne lawn chairs,
missing dog bowls,
and me chasing a trash can across open land
like a low-budget western.

It rattles the RV so hard
you start mentally apologizing
to every bolt you’ve ever tightened.

I used to hate it.

I’d sit there counting gusts,
waiting for the walls to peel off
and my life to end on a weather report.

But somewhere along the way
the fear turned into rhythm.

The RV rocks at night —
not gently, not romantically —
more like a drunk uncle trying to dance,
and somehow… I sleep better.

Because the truth is:

Nothing fake survives out here.

The wind steals weak plans,
bad attitudes,
and anything not actually secured.
It’s basically nature’s personality test.

City life has locks.
The desert has proof.

The same wind that throws sand in your coffee
also cools a 105° afternoon,
carries music farther than speakers should reach,
and reminds you
you are very small
and somehow very alive.

We didn’t move here for comfort.
We moved here for honesty.

The wind isn’t trying to ruin us.

It’s just asking daily:

“You still sure about this life?”

Every morning we wake up
still here,
still stubborn,
still slightly covered in dust.

Rocked, not broken.

Turns out —
the wind lives here.

We’re just the weird people
it hasn’t managed to evict yet.

🔥 Off-Grid Talk Is Now Off-Grid Campfire Chat

Ka-Hoon Campground

Big changes are here — and we’re excited to share them with you.

Off-Grid Talk is officially becoming Off-Grid Campfire Chat. 🏕️🔥

While the name is changing, the heart of the show remains the same.

Same hosts.
Same real conversations.
Same off-grid mindset.
Just a stronger campfire vibe and a name that better reflects what we’ve been building together.

Why the Change?

As our community has grown, so has the vision. Off-Grid Campfire Chat represents gathering, storytelling, authenticity, and connection — just like sitting around a fire under the open sky.

This evolution feels right. It feels natural. And it feels like home.

No Show Today

Due to life circumstances, there will not be an episode today. We appreciate your understanding and continued support more than you know.

We’ll be back soon — stronger, refocused, and ready to gather around the campfire again.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

🔥 The fire’s still burning. We’ll see you soon.

Running a Campground While Having an Existential Crisis (Yes, It’s Off-Grid Life)

Ka-Hoon Campground

People sometimes imagine off-grid living as peaceful sunsets, birds chirping, and me gracefully watering plants in a linen dress.

Reality:
I’m answering emails, fixing something that broke, scheduling events, running a campground, posting on five social media platforms, and wondering why my brain feels like a browser with 47 tabs open.

We moved to the desert in October 2020 with a dream — not to get rich, not to build a resort, but to build a place. A place where people could come, breathe, exist, and not feel judged. A place that respects nature, recycles, upcycles, and tries very hard not to waste what the earth gives us.

We didn’t want elaborate.
We wanted sustainable.

Affordable events. Real community. Music, gatherings, conversations, and people sitting around a fire actually talking to each other instead of just scrolling.

The membership program?
We never planned that.

It happened because people kept asking:
“Can we stay longer?”

So we created a way people could be part of the land instead of just visiting it.

And now we’re starting something new — Off-Grid Campfire Chat.

We changed the name because we are not experts. Not even close.
We are people figuring it out in real time.

The Campfire Chat isn’t a class.
It’s a place.

Some people come to learn.
Some come to help others.
Some come because they feel alone and need to hear,
“Yeah… life is hard sometimes.”

Living off-grid doesn’t remove normal problems.
You still get tired.
You still doubt yourself.

You still get overwhelmed running a campground, an event center, and all the promotion that never takes a day off — even when your brain begs for one.

But the goal here was never perfection.

It was belonging.

If you want to learn, talk, vent, or just sit quietly and listen — you’re welcome.

Even if you never plan to live off-grid.

The Hard Side of Off-Grid Living Nobody Talks About

Ka-Hoon Campground

Living off-grid doesn’t mean life suddenly becomes peaceful and problem-free.
People often picture sunsets, campfires, and freedom from the world. And yes — those moments exist. But so do the everyday human struggles we all carry.

I love our off-grid life. I love what we’ve built — a campground, an event center, the shows, the music, and the community around it. But loving it doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Lately I’ve been dealing less with physical work and more with my own inner self.

I’ve felt questioning, reluctant, and honestly just very tired. Not the kind of tired sleep fixes — the kind where your mind feels heavy and even simple tasks feel harder than they should. When you live off-grid, there isn’t really a day off. The animals still need care, the property still needs attention, and responsibilities don’t pause just because your heart and mind need a moment.

Running a campground and event space adds another layer. The promoting, posting, answering messages, planning events, and handling social media never really stops. Even when my mind needs a break, the work still waits for me in the morning.

What I’m learning is that off-grid living doesn’t remove problems — it removes distractions. Out here you face yourself more directly. There’s more quiet, and in that quiet your thoughts get louder.

Some days I accomplish a lot. Other days I don’t accomplish what I normally would, and that’s been difficult for me to accept. I’m someone who usually pushes forward, keeps creating, keeps building. Slowing down feels uncomfortable, but sometimes necessary.

I’m sharing this because real off-grid life isn’t perfection. It’s still life. We still carry stress, emotions, worry, and growth just like anyone else. The difference is we’re doing it without the background noise of society, and that makes it easier to see and harder to ignore.

I’m still here. I’m still creating. I just also need moments to breathe so I can keep going.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause, reset, and start again tomorrow.
