Day One in New Mexico: Rain and Puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground

Ka-Hoon Campground

Day One in New Mexico: Rain and Puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground

Day One of Polo’s visit to New Mexico started with something we certainly didn’t expect to become such a big part of the story: rain and puddles at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.

Located in Central New Mexico, Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is an off-grid campground surrounded by mesa landscapes and the wide-open scenery of the Rio Grande Valley. When the rain arrives, the landscape can look completely different.

Day One at Ka-Hoon Campground

Polo was just getting started with the visit when the weather began changing. The first puddles started appearing around the campground, creating reflections across the ground and giving us a completely different view of the New Mexico landscape.

For a place known for its dry, rugged surroundings, watching rainwater collect across the campground is something worth documenting. These first puddles became the beginning of a much bigger weather story.

New Mexico Rain Changes the Landscape

Rain in the desert can create a dramatic transformation. The puddles in this video are from Day One, giving us a starting point for following the weather as the rain continued.

What We Saw on Day One

  • Rain moving across the Ka-Hoon property
  • Puddles beginning to form around the campground
  • Changing conditions across the New Mexico landscape
  • The beginning of Polo’s visit to Central New Mexico
  • A different perspective of off-grid campground life

Off-Grid Camping in Central New Mexico

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center offers an off-grid camping experience in Central New Mexico. There is something special about seeing the property in different weather conditions.

Sunshine, clouds, storms, wind, and rain can each completely change the appearance and atmosphere of the mesa. This video captures one small moment from the beginning of Polo’s visit.

Day One Was Just the Beginning

These puddles were only the beginning of the weather story. As the rain continued, conditions around the campground changed, which is why we wanted to capture these early moments—from the first puddles on Day One through whatever came next.

Sometimes the unexpected parts of a camping trip become the most memorable. What started as a rainy day became another chapter in the ongoing story of life at Ka-Hoon.

Music by Brent Calhoun aka Advocatus Diaboli

The music featured in this video is “Lesuth” by Brent Calhoun aka Advocatus Diaboli.

  • Song: Lesuth
  • Artist: Brent Calhoun aka Advocatus Diaboli
  • Music: Original music by Brent Calhoun

The Storm Hits Our Off-Grid Studio: Will Our Livestreams Go On?

Ka-Hoon Campground

The Storm Hits Our Off-Grid Studio: Livestreams, Weather & Life Off the Grid

When you operate a studio completely off the grid in Central New Mexico, weather isn’t just something you watch outside the window. It can directly affect what happens inside the studio.

Storms are moving through the area, and we’re watching conditions closely at Colquhoun Entertainment. Our scheduled livestreams are still planned, but severe weather can sometimes make it impossible to maintain a normal broadcasting schedule.

Our goal is to keep Morning Mirage, Music in the Desert, and Melodious Karaoke running whenever conditions allow.

When an Off-Grid Studio Meets a Storm

Colquhoun Entertainment operates from an off-grid studio in Central New Mexico, where weather conditions can have a very real impact on livestreaming.

Unlike a conventional studio connected to the electrical grid and surrounded by easy access to services, an off-grid setup requires us to pay close attention to weather, power, internet connectivity, road conditions, and overall safety.

A beautiful desert storm can make incredible scenery, but it can also mean that plans have to change.

That’s simply part of creating content from an off-grid studio.

Our Scheduled Livestreams

We’re continuing to plan for our regular livestream programming:

🌅 Morning Mirage

A relaxed livestream hangout featuring conversation, the morning atmosphere, and what’s happening around our off-grid studio.

🎸 Music in the Desert

Live music, conversation, and the unique atmosphere of making music from the New Mexico desert.

🎤 Melodious Karaoke

A fun karaoke livestream where we get together, sing, laugh, and spend some time with our online community.

Weather permitting, we’re going to do our best to keep these livestreams on schedule.

Why Weather Can Change the Schedule

When you’re broadcasting from an off-grid location, weather can affect more than the view outside.

Storms can create changes in conditions around the property, affect access on our rough mesa road, and create circumstances where livestreaming simply isn’t practical.

We would rather keep everyone informed than promise a livestream and discover that Mother Nature has other plans.

If weather forces us to change a livestream, we’ll let our audience know as soon as possible.

Follow Colquhoun Entertainment for Updates

If you enjoy off-grid living, New Mexico scenery, live music, livestream entertainment, and seeing what happens behind the scenes at an unusual off-grid studio, follow Colquhoun Entertainment.

Our schedule may occasionally have to bend to the weather, but we’ll keep doing our best to bring you Morning Mirage, Music in the Desert, and Melodious Karaoke whenever conditions allow.

From our off-grid studio in Central New Mexico, thanks for hanging out with us. 🌵⛈️

Baseball-Size Hail Storm Hits Central New Mexico: RV, Car & Solar Panel Damage

Ka-Hoon Campground

Baseball-Size Hail Hits Ka-Hoon Campground

We were hit by a powerful hail storm at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center in Central New Mexico, and the damage left behind was extensive.


The hail reached baseball size, pounding the property and our RV with incredible force. It sounded like bullets hitting the roof.

Hail Storm Damage to Our RV

Our RV took significant damage during the storm.

RV damage includes:

  • Multiple roof vents smashed through
  • Skylights damaged or destroyed
  • Damage to the room
  • Openings that required emergency protection from rain
  • Tarp placed over the damaged area to help keep water out

The RV damage has already been reported to insurance.

Hail Damaged Our Car

The hail also damaged our car.

Vehicle damage includes:

  • Broken windshield
  • Antenna ripped off
  • Additional hail damage that will be assessed

After the storm, we were left trying to figure out how we’re going to handle all of the repairs.

Two Solar Panels Were Destroyed

Because Ka-Hoon is an off-grid property, the solar system is especially important to us.


The storm broke two solar panels and ripped wiring loose.

Losing solar equipment isn’t simply cosmetic damage for an off-grid property. Those panels are part of the system that provides our electricity.

Damage to Anne’s RV and Trailer

The storm also damaged other vehicles and structures on the property.

Additional damage includes:

  • Broken window on Anne’s RV
  • Damaged skylights on Anne’s RV
  • Trailer skylight completely gone

Real Hail Storm Footage From Central New Mexico

This video shows the actual hail storm and the damage left behind afterward.


Seeing the hail coming down is one thing. Walking around afterward and seeing roof vents, skylights, windows, a windshield, and solar panels damaged is something completely different.


We’re safe, and that’s the most important thing. But we’re exhausted and now have a lot of cleanup, documentation, insurance claims, and repairs ahead of us.

What Happens Next?

For now, we’re taking everything one step at a time.

Our priorities are:

  1. Keep the damaged RV areas protected from rain.
  2. Document all of the storm damage.
  3. Work with insurance on the RV claim.
  4. Assess the vehicle damage.
  5. Determine what needs to happen with the damaged solar panels and wiring.
  6. Begin repairs as we are able.

We’re hoping that somewhere in all of this, something finally goes in our favor.

I Refused to Make 2 Trips! 😂 5 Gallons of Water & 2 Shower Bags in ONE RV Haul!

Ka-Hoon Campground

I Refused to Make Two Trips! 😂 One-Trip RV Hauling at Ka-Hoon Campground

Sometimes being lazy actually means making more work for yourself! 😂

I absolutely despise making multiple trips, so when I needed to haul things inside the RV, there was no way I was making two trips. I decided to load myself up and get everything inside at once.

And surprisingly? It wasn’t even that bad!

What Was I Carrying?

This wasn’t exactly a tiny load. I was hauling:

  • 2 shower bags
  • 5 gallons of water
  • Everything in ONE trip
  • From outside into the RV

Why make two trips when you can just carry everything at once? 😂

The “Load Yourself to the Maximum” Method

There are definitely two kinds of people when it comes to carrying things.


Some people make one trip, realize they can’t carry everything, and go back for the rest.


Then there are people like me who look at everything that needs to go inside and think:

“I’m getting ALL of it in one trip.” 😂


I would much rather load myself to the maximum and get it done than walk back and forth making multiple trips.

A Quick Look at Everyday RV and Off-Grid Life

This is just a very short glimpse of everyday life around the RV at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.

Off-grid camping comes with plenty of little everyday tasks, from hauling water to moving supplies around the property. Sometimes the simplest things turn into their own little adventure.

Do You Make One Trip or Multiple Trips?

Now we want to know what YOU do!

Which One Are You?

  • Team One Trip: Load everything you possibly can.
  • Team Multiple Trips: Carry a reasonable amount and go back.
  • Team “I’ll Figure It Out”: Somehow carry way too much anyway. 😂

Leave a comment and tell us which one you are!

Watch the Short Video

Check out this quick clip from Colquhoun Entertainment and see the one-trip haul for yourself!

Experience Ka-Hoon Campground

Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is located in Central New Mexico and offers an off-grid camping experience surrounded by the mesa landscape.
