**Two weeks ago, we were told Advocatus Diaboli might never sing again.**
One week ago, he sang *“Another Man’s Grave”* by Amigo The Devil —just two days after surgery.
Today, we’re sharing a one-week update with the same song, showing just how far he’s come.
From stroke diagnosis to surgery, to singing again—his strength, determination, and love for music have carried him through.
**Watch the recovery. Hear the difference. Feel the hope.**
Support local music, celebrate resilience, and be part of the journey.
**Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**
Live. Raw. Real.

Grateful Mornings and Healing Moments at Ka-Hoon Campground
As I sip my morning coffee and watch the desert sunrise, my heart is full of gratitude. This past week has tested us in ways we never expected—but it’s also reminded us how blessed we are.
While we were at the hospital, our amazing Ka-Hoon community stepped up in big ways. Campers took charge, welcoming new arrivals with kindness and care. My oldest brother helped bring Bryandt home so he could be by his dad’s side. Neighbors made sure Anne got to and from work safely and checked in on things at camp.
And the best news? Brent is home. He’s regaining strength every day. He’s starting to move his fingers again… and yes, *he can sing!* The healing journey isn’t over, but each day brings progress and hope.
To all of you who’ve supported us—thank you. From our family to yours, we’re so grateful to share this space and this journey with such an incredible community.

Just 2 Days After Stroke Surgery… He Sings Again – You Won’t Believe This Comeback!
Rising from the Ashes – A Week of Strength, Music, and Miracles**
This past week has been one of the hardest we’ve ever faced here at Ka-Hoon Campground & Colquhoun Entertainment. On Monday, our own Advocatus Diaboli suffered a subcortical stroke—unexpected, frightening, and life-altering. The days that followed were filled with uncertainty, hospital visits, and prayer. By Friday, he was in surgery to repair the artery causing the damage.
Doctors weren’t sure what the outcome would be. They even warned us he might not be able to sing again. But if you know Advocatus Diaboli, you know he doesn’t give up easily.
Just two days after surgery, he defied the odds—he sang again. Not at full strength yet, but close. And if you watch the video, you’ll see the fire is still there.
This isn’t just a story about music—it’s about grit, healing, and the power of community. We’re beyond grateful for those who’ve stood by us, sent love, and kept the music alive.
The desert can be quiet, but strength grows in the silence. We’re still here, still singing.

Surviving Desert Life: Wind, Sand, and Endless Skies – The Off-Grid Experience at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**Desert Life: When the Wind Gives You Exfoliation for Free**
Living in the New Mexico desert is an adventure—one that comes with a complimentary sandblasting treatment. If you’ve ever wondered what sand tastes like, don’t worry, the desert makes sure you find out. It sneaks into your ears, eyes, and somehow, despite all logic, through the tiniest cracks in your RV, tent, or even a fully sealed house. By morning, you wake up with a fine layer of desert dust decorating everything, no matter how well you thought you secured it.
Winter sand? Ice-cold and sharp as tiny knives. Summer sand? Hot enough to brand your feet if you step out barefoot. Yet, through it all, we wouldn’t trade this life for anything. The **skies stretch endlessly**, the **silence is pure**, and the **landscapes are breathtaking**.
Here at **Ka-Hoon Campground**, we embrace the quirks of desert life—wind, sand, and all. It’s a place where you can unplug, unwind, and be yourself, surrounded by the rugged beauty of New Mexico. Whether you want to **gather around the firepit**, **camp under the stars**, or just **enjoy the peace and quiet**, this is your space.
**Join the Adventure**
No judgment, no stress—just freedom and fresh (sometimes sandy) air. **Visit http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com to learn more!**

Surviving High Winds & a Cold Day in the Desert – Off-Grid Life Challenges!
**Surviving the High Winds and a Stubborn Cold—Desert Life Edition**
We’re on **day two** of relentless high winds, and while we’ve learned over the years how to secure just about everything, there’s always something we forget—like an entire **trash bag**, a **clothes hamper full of laundry**, or even **part of a car seat** left behind by a camper. That last one has taken a few trips across the yard, courtesy of Mother Nature, and now it’s on our ever-growing list of things to haul off.
If there’s ever a “perfect” time to be sick, I guess this would be it (though I’d gladly skip the sick part). Both of us have been battling a cold—**negative for flu and COVID**, thankfully—but it’s still draining. No fevers or body aches, but plenty of **sore throats, low energy, and overall crankiness**. And let’s just say my voice is practically nonexistent at this point.
So, how did we spend this windblown, sickness-induced lockdown? **Benadryled up, buried under blankets, and binge-watching *Stranger Things*.** Sometimes, you just have to embrace the forced downtime and let the storm pass—both the one outside and the one raging in your sinuses.
Here’s hoping for **calmer skies, better health, and fewer runaway objects in the yard** in the coming days!

Busy Days & a Peaceful Birthday Night – Campground Life, Rehearsals & Taking Time to Unwind!
**Catching Up & A Birthday Well Spent**
First off, thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes! Your kind words truly mean a lot.
Lately, we haven’t been posting as much as we’d like—life has been keeping us busy. Between hosting campers and members, running Anne to work, rehearsing, and working on doing more live streams on TikTok and Clapper, our days have been packed. Finding personal time has been a challenge, and unfortunately, daily posts tend to be the first thing to get sacrificed.
My birthday was a simple but perfect night. After a day of errands and tasks at Ka-Hoon Campground, we took the evening for ourselves. A few rounds of cribbage, good music, and plenty of laughter made for a peaceful, drama-free celebration. Sometimes, the best moments are the quiet ones spent with those who matter most.
We’ll do our best to keep up with sharing more updates—until then, we’re embracing life as it comes, one busy but fulfilling day at a time!

Campfire Laughs & TikTok Live Gone Wrong – Anne’s Lawn Chair Fail at Ka-Hoon Campground!
**A Beautiful Day at Ka-Hoon Campground: Fires, Fun, and TikTok Live**
Today was one of those perfect desert days—warm, peaceful, and full of unexpected laughs. While Brent was off helping a neighbor, Anne and I took the time to relax, enjoy the fresh air, and have a fire. We even hopped on TikTok Live for a short stream to share the moment with our online community.
Of course, no day is complete without a little bit of chaos. In the middle of our live, Anne managed to flip over in a lawn chair that hadn’t been properly secured open. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter—so much that I wasn’t even sure I could help her up! Moments like these remind us why we love this lifestyle—simple joys, good company, and the ability to laugh at ourselves.
We’ll be doing more TikTok Lives soon, so make sure to follow us for real, unfiltered glimpses into life at Ka-Hoon Campground!

Living Off-Grid: Peace, Beauty, and the Occasional Challenge
**Living Off-Grid: Peace, Beauty, and the Occasional Challenge**
Life off-grid in the desert is a unique blend of serenity and vigilance. The views are breathtaking, the quiet is restorative, and the freedom to live authentically is unparalleled. Yet, challenges arise when others misinterpret a laid-back, open-hearted lifestyle as an invitation to take advantage.
At Ka-Hoon Campground, we pride ourselves on being welcoming and helpful. We respect others’ individuality and value mutual respect in return. But make no mistake—our kindness should never be mistaken for weakness. We stand firm in our beliefs, protect our hard-earned achievements, and fiercely guard our friends, family, and community.
In recent days, unsettling incidents have reminded us of the need for vigilance. Unknown individuals have been observed suspiciously loitering near our property. While it’s not uncommon for travelers to pass through, these behaviors raise red flags—stopping repeatedly, backing into driveways with clear “Private Property” signs, and speeding off when approached.
We understand mistakes happen—people get lost or need directions. If these individuals meant no harm, we’re prepared to extend our apologies for any misunderstanding. However, speeding off when approached or repeatedly stopping in private areas suggests otherwise.
To those visiting or passing by, we welcome friendly conversation or requests for assistance. A simple knock on the door or a polite wave goes a long way. Respect us, and we’ll gladly reciprocate. Disrespect us, however, and we will not back down.
Living off-grid teaches resilience, and we hold tight to the values of self-reliance, protection, and respect. Let this serve as a reminder: the desert may be peaceful, but those who live here know how to stand their ground.

Enduring the January Winds at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
Enduring the January Winds at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
As the winds of January sweep across the desert, we find ourselves in the midst of their biting embrace at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. The air is sharp, and the gusts carry the whisper of distant storms, reminding us of the ever-changing nature of the world around us. Yet, even in the face of these fierce winds, there is a beauty to be found in their power, a testament to the strength and resilience of nature.
At Ka-Hoon, we are no strangers to the elements. The winds may howl, but they cannot deter us from creating a space where individuals may come together and experience the desert’s wonders. We stand firm, embracing both the challenges and the magnificence that each new day brings.
Though the January winds may make the days colder and the nights longer, they also remind us of the warmth found in community, the strength that comes from perseverance, and the importance of creating a place to call home—even in the midst of a storm.
Let the winds of January pass, for in their wake, we shall find clearer skies and calmer days.
