After purchasing our land Plateau Hame De Colquhoun in January 2020. We put a brick that we had written Colquhoun on using a permanent marker and placed it centrally on the property, knowing we would be headed back to MN to work and get prepared to move onto the property.
We made our move October 2020, when arriving one of the first things we noticed on the property was a dead tree stump. We placed this tree stump along with the original brick close to the central point.
Since setting these together campers, visitors have started leaving offerings I.E Painted rocks, figurines, flowers, jewelry. We ask that if you leave an item, take one to leave somewhere else, help spread the special atmosphere of this area to other places.
We love that we are finally to point here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun that we have moved onto the level of opening up for events.
So many projects we still need or want to complete. But we are slowly getting there!
We have a stage, first concert booked and selling limited tickets. Campers been steady, which we like a lot. The shower is one step closer to being finished.
Wonderful neighbors, we enjoyed hanging with them and watch the eclipse!
It seems so quiet here Plateau Hame De Colquhoun right now, first day in over a week we don’t have any campers.
We’ve had a couple people ask why we don’t post more pictures of people camping? We don’t share photos of people camping out of privacy and respect to anyone staying here.
As a camper you’re welcome to take photos. But we will not take any photos of anyone staying unless asked to do so…As a camper you’re welcome to take photos. But we will not of anyone staying unless asked to do so…
All are welcome, come be yourselves, enjoy yourselves within a safe environment!
The days are warming up, there are so many projects we want to complete, but the cost of lumber has made us try to find cost effective alternatives which in turn is making the process of completing these projects slower.
We have had couple campers book through the new reservation platform on the website. So far have had good results with it.
After a day of cleaning, working on the studio and campers, we settle in for some home made pizza!!
We always enjoy having campers, to hear their stories, share our story. Watching each one enjoy the land and it’s beauty. Being able to share this little piece land with others makes all worth while!
Been busy days working on the solar, campers coming in, and meeting a new neighbor. (Neighbor here is anyone that lives up here on the Mesa, this one is 3 miles from us). We like how all the neighbors know each other, watch out for and willing to help if needed.. We use to live in a town in Minnesota where we lived 10ft from neighbors on either side yet knew very little about them, we would try to be social but it’s different…
Not wanting to jinx it so won’t say we are planning to have the solar finished today… We’ll post an update once it’s completed!
