Saturday at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and Tour of the Mesa!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. It’s a beautiful quiet Saturday here so far. I got some memories from last year at this time and we were cleaning up tumble weeds. It’s weird as this year the tumble weeds aren’t that bad. Which is nice for us, but poor Dreugan loves chasing and carrying them around. We don’t know Amigo’s reaction to them yet, but he tends to follow his big brother Dreugan around.

The business side of things the Community Tour of the mesa is now officially available to campers to book a tour.

Take a ride on the back roads of the West Mesa. Learn the history of Alien sightings, WW2 bombing practices, old west outlaws, land scams and volcanoes. View the overlooks of the Rio Grande valley and Arroyo, visit the labyrinths, ancient stones, and ruins of 1950’s wells.

Rain in the Desert

Cloudy Saturday with rain in the forecast. We need the rain but it makes passage through the desert roads more of a challenge. Most areas of the roads that get under water have drive arounds. But there are a few that don’t.

The morning cloudy sky made for some beautiful photos of Ladrone and sun rise towards the Manzano Mountains.

Sick while living Off-grid at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Before Brent and I got together, I was constantly sick. My immune system is screwed up.. Once Brent and I got together we started taking extra precautions when in public. Wiping down groceries carts, having Alcohol wipes and wearing masks. We did this pre Covid. I have to say it worked, I wasn’t always sick, actually it’s been years until now that I got sick last. Idk why now, was there something at the places that we went sight seeing?

Being the first time I’m really sick (not counting just don’t feel good) since living out here in the middle of the desert, the biggest downfall is not having showers, I want a really long hot shower, or lay in a tube filled with steaming hot water. But since that’s not an option I’ll do steam from a boiling pan of water.

Working with the neighbors here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Hate being sick, we think i got into something I’m allergic to while sightseeing. I been trying to stay inside as much as possible until I get asthma, allergies under control. Which has given me time to work on few things for Plateau Hame De Colquhoun .

As many know we offer safe environment for dispersed drycamping. We are working with neighbors to add a few products and services for the campers.

You can now take a tour of the Mesa.

Westland Meadows is offering Farm Fresh Eggs delivered right to your campsite.

We are working with a neighbor that is putting a menu together for campers to order off from.. the food will be delivered to the campsite.

We are wanting to have a community store front. Many of us up here have homemade crafts, jewelry, art plus more…

Camping at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Days have been quiet, Thanksgiving day we had 9 campers which all stated they enjoyed their time. The hardest part for us hosting campers is that we want campers to come camp to enjoy the beautiful views and the land. We get campers that come late at night and leave early in the morning. Maybe it shouldn’t matter, they paid to camp, but that’s not the idea of camping here.

But I have to realize that they are probably getting to experience the land even in such a short period of time. The peacefulness and the ability to relax, hopefully get a good sleep before heading out for another drive.

The community is now offering tours of the Mesa, for all campers. Come see the views, learn some of the history of bombings, aliens and more!!
