Late-Night Trespassers at Ka-Hoon Campground… and Other Desert Drama**
Most nights at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun** are peaceful—the kind of quiet that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. Just desert skies, soft winds, and the occasional animatronic warming up for **Music in the Desert**.
Then there are nights like last night.
The nights where the desert decides to host its own reality show.
We caught **two trespassers** on camera.
Neither had permission.
Neither respected the “No Trespassing” signs.
Neither cared even a little.
—
## **Trespasser #1**
* Height: about a foot
* Long ears: satellite-level reception
* Movement: Olympic-level hopping
* Attitude: high
It was, without a doubt, a **jack rabbit** on a mission.
This fuzzy renegade zipped across **Ka-Hoon Campground** like it was late for rehearsal with **Advocatus Diaboli** and the **Grim Leafer Band**. It didn’t pause, didn’t wave, and definitely didn’t stop by the **Dusty Nail General Store** to contribute to the local economy.
Truly a rebellious spirit.
—
## **Trespasser #2**
* Height: 2–3 feet on all fours
* Tail: maximum fluff
* Eyes: full “try me”
* Species: **Coyote**, desert troublemaker extraordinaire
This one walked past the camera like it owned the whole **Ka-Hoon Event Center**. It stopped just long enough to stare directly into the lens with the expression of:
> “I walk where I want. Don’t interrupt my schedule.”
Coyotes don’t break rules.
They ignore the concept of rules entirely.
—
## **If Seen… Please Invite Them to Offgrid Talk**
We aren’t trying to track them down.
We’d just like to politely inform them:
**Offgrid Talk starts at 8 a.m. MST on TikTok.
All desert residents welcome.**
They already:
* Live off-grid
* Ignore boundaries
* Wander freely across **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun**
* And act like they’re long-term members of our **Membership program**
Might as well give them a voice.
—
## **Meanwhile… the Bulls Returned (Because of Course They Did)**
Just when we thought the night couldn’t get louder, the **free-range bulls** rolled in like they were scheduled entertainment.
They proceeded to:
* Holler
* Buller
* Wrestle
* Slam into each other
* And perform a full-contact dance battle
All.
Night.
Long.
At one point, it sounded like two dump trucks arguing over a parking spot. Even the coyote paused and went, “Bro… chill.”
If you think desert living is quiet, you have never lived next to free-range bulls with personal problems.
—
## **Desert Life Keeps Us Laughing**
Between the wildlife, the weirdness, and the 3 a.m. bull brawls, life at **Ka-Hoon Campground** is anything but boring.
Add in:
* the odd and unusual bands booked through **Melodie’s Oddities**
* the clean audio and reliable sound work from **Jafo Productions** (the unsung heroes behind many shows)
* the off-grid entertainment through **Colquhoun Entertainment**
* the animatronics of **Advocatus Diaboli** and the **Grim Leafer Band**
* and a few overly confident tumbleweeds…
And you’ve got a place where every day writes its own story.
We live off-grid, we laugh a lot, and we take the chaos in stride. Wildlife, music, community—it’s all part of what makes this place special.
If you see the rabbit, the coyote, or the bulls…
Tell them Offgrid Talk starts at 8 a.m.
We’ll save them a spot and hope they bring good stories.

Caught in the Act! Off-Grid Couple Stops Desert Furniture Dumpers 🚫🌵
Caught Dumping Furniture in the Desert
While heading into town, we caught a couple of guys trying to dump some old furniture out in the desert. Living off-grid means respecting the land that gives us peace — and littering isn’t part of that! After a “friendly chat,” they picked it all back up. It’s moments like these that remind us why community and respect for nature matter. Here at Ka-Hoon Campground, we take pride in keeping our desert clean, peaceful, and full of life.

Off-Grid Open Mic Under the Stars | Music, Community, and Memorial Day Reflections in the Desert
Finding Connection Off the Grid – A Memorial Day Reflection
As we pause this Memorial Day to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country, we also want to take a moment to express heartfelt gratitude to our growing off-grid community. From our remote corner of the New Mexico desert, we send you all peace, love, and strength.
Last night’s **Open Microphone Night** was one for the books. Under the stars and surrounded by the raw beauty of the land, we gathered—singers, storytellers, musicians, and listeners alike—to share not just talent, but pieces of our hearts. We laughed, we sang, we reflected, and most importantly, we connected.
One of the most powerful parts of living off-grid isn’t just the freedom—it’s the **community**. It’s in the late-night conversations around the fire, the shared meals, and the support from others walking the same path. Whether you’re homesteading, boondocking, or just finding your own rhythm outside the noise of the mainstream, you are part of something real.
We know this lifestyle isn’t always easy. But moments like last night remind us why we do it: for **authenticity**, for **connection**, for **freedom**.
So from our camp to yours—**Happy Memorial Day**. May we honor those who came before us by living with purpose, courage, and heart.
🌄 **Stay wild. Stay grounded. Stay you.**

Starry Nights & Outdoor Movies: Creating Magical Moments in the Desert with Neighbors
Finding Connection Under the Stars: Outdoor Movies in the Desert
Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that bring the most joy. Last night, we shared one of those with a neighbor—an outdoor movie under the desert’s endless sky. As the sun dipped below the horizon and the desert quieted, we set up the projector, tossed some blankets down, and sat back with popcorn to watch a film together. It’s these small connections that make life out here truly special.
### Creating Community in the Desert
Living in the desert has its challenges, but it also creates a unique environment for connection. Out here, where there’s open land and starry skies, we often find ourselves naturally bonding with neighbors over simple activities. An outdoor movie may seem like a small gesture, but it turns into something magical under the desert stars.
### Why Moments Like These Matter
Life can get busy, and it’s easy to lose track of what really brings us happiness. That’s why we cherish moments like these. Sitting under the stars, hearing the soft hum of the desert around us, and watching a story unfold on the screen brings a sense of peace and togetherness that’s hard to find anywhere else.
### Make Your Own Magic Outdoors
No matter where you are, bringing a little creativity to your gatherings can turn any space into a memorable experience. All it takes is a little preparation and an open mind. Next time you’re craving something different, try setting up an outdoor movie, gathering a few friends or neighbors, and enjoying a night under the stars.
In the end, these small, shared experiences are what build lasting friendships and memories.

From Campers to Neighbors: Welcoming New Friends to Our Desert Community!
**Embracing New Beginnings in Our Desert Community**
Today marks the first day in months that we don’t have a camper staying with us, and the place feels a bit empty. However, it’s a good kind of empty, filled with the warmth of friendships made and the excitement of new beginnings.
The camper who just checked out came to us when they transferred from their old job at an Amazon distribution center in Colorado to the new Amazon distribution center in Los Lunas. During their stay, they became more than just guests—they became friends. Our little community here in the desert grew to know and appreciate them, and we’re thrilled to hear that they’ve fallen in love with the area just as much as we have.
They’re not going far, either—they’re in the process of buying some land not too far from us. So, while it might feel like a goodbye, it’s really just a “see you soon.” We’re excited to officially welcome them as permanent members of our growing community. Here in the desert, it’s never really goodbye; it’s more of a “welcome home.”

Desert Community Adventures: Concert, Outdoor Movie & Neighborhood Watch
### Embracing Community Spirit in the Desert: From Concerts to Neighborhood Watches
In the heart of the desert, our community thrives on strong connections and shared experiences. Recently, we embarked on a memorable journey to Albuquerque, attending a concert for our neighbor’s talented son. This trip not only showcased our support for local talent but also reinforced the unity that defines our neighborhood.
#### A Night to Remember: Supporting Local Talent
Traveling to Albuquerque for a concert is always exciting, but this event held special significance as we cheered on our neighbor’s son. The night was filled with incredible music, laughter, and a sense of pride. It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of supporting each other’s passions and dreams. The concert was a perfect example of how our community comes together to celebrate individual achievements.
#### Outdoor Movie Night: Dune 2 Under the Stars
Upon returning from Albuquerque, our community gathered for an outdoor movie night featuring “Dune 2.” Under the vast desert sky, we set up blankets and chairs, ready to immerse ourselves in the epic tale. The atmosphere was magical, with the stars above and the excitement of the movie unfolding on the screen. Outdoor movie nights have become a cherished tradition, providing a relaxing and fun way for neighbors to connect.
#### A Call to Action: The Unexpected Neighborhood Watch
Midway through the movie, our peaceful evening took an unexpected turn. Many of us received calls to join a neighborhood watch effort. Initially concerned, we quickly learned that it was a group of kids looking for a party spot. Although the situation turned out to be harmless, it highlighted the vigilance and care we have for our community. Our swift response reassured everyone that we look out for one another, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment.
#### Building a Stronger Community
These events, from the Albuquerque concert to the impromptu neighborhood watch, underscore the strength and solidarity of our community. Living in the desert brings unique challenges, but it also fosters a sense of closeness and mutual support that is truly special. We are more than just neighbors; we are a family, bound by our shared experiences and collective efforts to create a vibrant and safe community.
#### Join Us in Celebrating Community
Whether it’s cheering on a local artist, enjoying a movie under the stars, or coming together in times of uncertainty, our community exemplifies the power of togetherness. We invite you to join us in celebrating the spirit of our neighborhood. Share your stories, participate in events, and be a part of our journey as we continue to build and strengthen our community in the desert.
For more updates on our community events and initiatives, stay tuned to our blog. Together, we can create unforgettable memories and a thriving, connected neighborhood.
