**Surviving the Summer Heat and Truck Troubles**
This summer has brought its share of heat, impacting our mood and daily routine. Fortunately, the nights cool off enough for our dogs to play outside, though during the day they only venture out briefly to potty before rushing back in. Inside the RV, we stay about 20 degrees cooler, providing some relief. We ensure the dogs stay hydrated with ice-cold water and a refreshing spritz of cool water.
On a different note, our pickup truck broke down last week and had to be towed home. Initially, we suspected a battery connection or short issue, but with new batteries and no shorts found, we moved on to checking the starter solenoid. Despite replacing it, the truck still wouldn’t start. We’ve now been advised that the neutral safety switch might be the culprit. The part is on order, and we’re hopeful that this will solve the problem, as the starter itself seems to be in good condition.
Don’t forget our exciting event on August 17th: the Music in the Desert Talent Show! Enjoy karaoke, a cosplay contest, and a night of anime under the stars. For more details, visit our website at [www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com](http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com).

Desert Community Rallies Together: Home Dialysis Help & BBQ Fun!
**Community Support and Togetherness in the Desert**
As previously discussed, having a supportive community is vital, especially in the remote desert where assistance from state and county officials can be challenging to obtain. Here, our neighbors have become more than just people living nearby; they are family.
One of our neighbors, who undergoes dialysis in Albuquerque three times a week, faced financial strain due to the travel expenses. Recently, he was approved for home dialysis, but needed to make some modifications to his home. In response, our community rallied together to help. We removed cabinets and benches to make space for the new equipment and uncovered additional issues that will require future attention.
We extend our gratitude to Red Gorilla Studios for their generous donation of a recliner, which is essential for his treatment.
After a few hours of hard work, we celebrated with a BBQ, practiced archery, enjoyed some music, and relaxed together. This sense of community support and togetherness makes all the difference in our lives out here.

Community Rally: From Pickup Truck Troubles to Rocking Red Gorilla Studios!
**Today’s the Day: Heading to Red Gorilla Studios!**
Today, the team from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, along with a few campers, is excited to head to Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque for the Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band show!
We had a bit of a hiccup as our pickup truck broke down at the post office in town yesterday. Fortunately, our amazing community of neighbors stepped up and towed it home. After some investigation, we discovered that the starter solenoid had gone out. We’ve ordered a new one, but in the meantime, our generous neighbors are towing our trailer for us.
Living out here, our community has evolved from a group of strangers into a close-knit family. Despite occasional disagreements, it’s heartwarming to know we can rely on each other. We’re grateful to be part of this supportive community and look forward to the show!

Desert Monsoon Magic: Transforming the Ka-Hoon Campground!
**Preparing for the Big Show: A Hot Day and Monsoon Nights**
Yesterday was a scorcher as we worked tirelessly in the studio, preparing for this weekend’s performance at Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque. With temperatures high, we anticipated a cooler evening to finish up some outdoor tasks, but the night brought unexpected monsoons.
Despite the weather, we found solace in the Greenroom. Dry and cozy, it provided the perfect setting for a relaxed evening of conversations with our campers. It was a great opportunity to connect and unwind after a long day of preparations.
Looking forward to the show and more moments of camaraderie with our community!

From Vision to Reality: Updates on Our Projects and Future Plans
**Reflecting on Changes and Progress**
So much has evolved since this video was made. We’ve completed many of our major projects, including the solar setup, library, music studio, and our beloved Greenroom. Some projects have been postponed or deemed unfeasible, but we continue to make strides on others, such as improving the shower facilities and establishing a reliable water delivery system.
It’s been a journey of adapting and growing, and we’re excited about the progress we’ve made and the future improvements ahead. Stay tuned for more updates!

Behind the Scenes: Preparing for the Epic Advocatus Diaboli Performance!
**Embracing the Heat and the Challenge**
The days have been scorching, and we’ve been hard at work in the studio preparing for Saturday’s performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band at Red Gorilla Studios in Albuquerque. We’re implementing many exciting changes, which has been a considerable amount of work. As someone who isn’t naturally musically inclined, learning to operate three animatronics and synchronizing parts within a song has been quite a challenge.
Despite the difficulties, I’m pleasantly surprised at how I’m picking it up. With support from those around me and a lot of practice, I’m starting to see how everything is coming together. I’ve found myself enjoying the process more than I expected.
Having never grown up around music, I never imagined myself in this role. However, I’m embracing the challenge and am committed to succeeding where I once thought I couldn’t. The effort is well worth it, and I’m excited about the progress we’re making.
