General Announcements
We’ve been dealing with the heat and working on staying cool.
A few solar issues arose recently, including a cable being torn off the combiner box. We are unsure how this happened but are currently working on better safeguarding the area to prevent future incidents.
Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be performing at Stage Luchetti on June 29th.
Needed
Additionally, we are in need of an old 10×10 canopy frame (or equivalent). We don’t need the top; the frame doesn’t need to be perfect but should be repairable. We plan to decorate it with fairy lights and set it up in the Cahoots Courtyard. If anyone has something that could work, please contact us.
Yesterday was our first real Music in the Desert Saturday at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center (Plateau Hame De Colquhoun), and it turned out to be a fantastic time for everyone! We had a wonderful turnout and want to thank all of you for coming out and supporting us.
A special thank you to Advocatus Diaboli and Shamshini for their incredible performances, especially for singing the audience-requested songs they had never performed before!

**Upholding Community Values: Reflecting on Day One of the Nomad Gathering**
Today marks the exciting beginning of the Nomad Gathering in the desert, with our vibrant Talent Show kicking off the festivities.
We reflect on the exhilarating live rehearsal held last night with Advocatus Diaboli and Shamshini, which garnered a fantastic turnout and energy.
Unfortunately, post-rehearsal, Advocatus Diaboli encountered a discouraging situation on Clapper, where they were offering technical assistance. Despite their friendly intentions and willingness to help, Advocatus faced unwarranted hostility when attempting to clarify the pronunciation of their name. This interaction resulted in Advocatus being abruptly removed and blocked by the host.
Such behavior is contrary to the supportive and respectful environment we aim to foster. At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we stand by our community values, embracing positivity and mutual support.
Let’s continue to uplift one another and create meaningful connections at the Nomad Gathering.
Discover Off-Grid Living at Ka-Hoon Campground: A Desert Oasis in New Mexico
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we embody the essence of a desert oasis where camping, events, and off-grid living converge. Our recent efforts to enhance our solar lighting system exemplify our commitment to sustainability and self-sufficiency.
Under the starlit skies of the New Mexico desert, we embarked on a mission to replace broken and non-functional solar lights across our property. By waiting until nightfall, we could easily identify which lights needed attention. As part of our eco-friendly approach, any working but broken lights were repurposed for future projects.
With a total of 20 new lights at our disposal, we weren’t sure how many replacements we would require. Ultimately, we used all but 6 of these lights, ensuring that each one found a meaningful purpose within our campground and event center.
After completing this task, we took a moment to unwind and appreciate the breathtaking desert skies, rejuvenating ourselves for the busy days ahead. We have exciting events lined up, including the Thursday night live rehearsal and the upcoming Nomad Gathering in the Desert.
Join us on our journey of off-grid living and desert adventures at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. Learn more about our offerings and upcoming events at http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com.
