Thursday Thoughts: Sometimes the Light at the End of the Tunnel is Just a Crazy Person

Ka-Hoon Campground

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just a crazy person with a torch… but hey, at least it ain’t boring!

Here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, life off-grid teaches us that inspiration doesn’t always arrive politely on schedule. Some days, the universe sends it with a wink, a spark, or a little chaos — like our Thursday quote reminds us.

Our desert home encourages reflection, laughter, and embracing the unexpected. Whether you’re navigating a literal desert or the deserts of your own life, it’s important to notice the moments that make you smile… even if they’re a little snarky.

A Thursday Reminder

  • Life isn’t always predictable.
  • The light at the end of the tunnel might be unconventional.
  • Laugh at the chaos, and keep moving forward.

This Thursday, Feb 19, 2026, take a moment to appreciate the quirky sparks of inspiration in your life. Whether it’s a wild idea, a sudden insight, or just the desert sunset reminding you that everything is impermanent, find joy in the unexpected.

I Tried Hanging a No Trespassing Sign… and It Went Hilariously Wrong! (Upside Down?!)

When Hanging a No Trespassing Sign Goes Hilariously Wrong

If you’ve ever lived off-grid in the desert, you already know that sometimes the land humbles you—and sometimes it just laughs at you. Today’s lesson? Even the simplest jobs can turn into a full-blown comedy sketch.

There we were at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, proudly holding our brand-new **No Trespassing sign**, ready to protect **our little slice of off-grid heaven**. The plan was simple: hang the sign facing the right way so strangers, trespassers, or wandering motorcyclists wouldn’t mistake **our property** for a public trail.

Sounds easy, right?

Well… I managed to hang the sign **the wrong direction** *and* **upside down**. Yes. Both. At the same time.

So what exactly does an **upside-down No Trespassing sign** mean?
Around here, apparently it translates to:

➡️ *“Trespassers welcome. The owners are trying their best.”*
➡️ *“Please enter at your own confusion.”*
➡️ *“Warning: Gravity and common sense were not consulted.”*

In the desert, even the signs get disoriented.

But hey—when you live off-grid at Ka-Hoon Campground, you learn to laugh at yourself. And considering the drama we’ve seen around trespassing lately, maybe a little humor is exactly what the land needed today.

At least we got it fixed… after taking a picture for TikTok, because something this ridiculous **had** to be shared. You’re welcome.

If you’re keeping up with our daily Off-Grid Life adventures, stay tuned to TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Colquhoun Entertainment—because you never know what I will be hanging upside down next.
