🌵 Resilient in the Desert: Life, Laughter, and Living Off-Grid at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
Living in the New Mexico desert isn’t easy—and that’s exactly why we love it.
At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, off-grid life is a daily lesson in resilience, adaptability, and humor. The sun is intense, the wind has opinions, and nature does not care about schedules. Yet somehow, between solar panels, dirt roads, music, and dogs underfoot, a deep sense of peace and purpose grows.
Desert living teaches you quickly that resilience isn’t about toughness alone—it’s about learning when to laugh, when to slow down, and when to simply roll with whatever the desert throws your way.
Being off-grid means solving problems creatively. Power comes from the sun, not a switch. Plans change with the weather. Convenience is replaced with intention. And while it can be challenging, it’s also incredibly grounding. Life feels real out here—raw, honest, and stripped of unnecessary noise.
Our **Offgrid Talk** grew naturally from this lifestyle. It’s not about pretending we have all the answers—it’s about sharing real conversations, real struggles, and real wins that come with choosing a different way of living. Some mornings it’s reflective, some mornings it’s humorous, and some mornings it’s simply about surviving the desert with coffee and determination.
Then there’s **Music in the Desert**—because resilience also needs joy. Music echoes differently out here, carried by open skies and wide horizons. It brings people together, reminds us to celebrate, and proves that creativity thrives even in the harshest environments.
And of course, no desert homestead story is complete without dogs. They don’t care about heat, dust, or broken plans. They play hard, rest harder, and remind us daily that balance matters. Their pack mentality mirrors off-grid life perfectly—different personalities, different energy levels, all coexisting and adapting together.
Living in the desert teaches you to be flexible, resourceful, and humble. It teaches you that resilience isn’t loud or dramatic—it’s built quietly, day by day, through persistence, humor, and community.
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, resilience isn’t just a concept. It’s a lifestyle. And while the desert may test you, it also gives back clarity, connection, and a freedom that’s hard to find anywhere else.
If you can laugh when the wind knocks things over, adapt when plans fall apart, and find joy under endless skies—you just might be desert-resilient too.

Why We REALLY Celebrate Turkey Day — And It’s Not the Story You Learned in School 🦃✨
Happy Turkey Day From Plateau Hame de Colquhoun: Thankful for Today, Building a Better Tomorrow**
Here at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, also known as **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** and **Colquhoun Entertainment**, we celebrate **Turkey Day** for reasons far different from the stories many of us were told growing up.
We don’t celebrate because of the *Christopher Columbus myth* — the version that was polished, rewritten, and stripped of truth.
We celebrate to honor something real:
**Gratitude. Community. Growth. And the responsibility we all share to help build a better tomorrow.**
We can’t rewrite history,
we can’t undo the harm that was done,
but we *can* choose what we stand for today.
Here on the Plateau, Turkey Day is about:
✨ Giving thanks for the good in our lives
✨ Appreciating the people who walk beside us
✨ Opening our doors to neighbors, travelers, and friends
✨ Learning from the past so we don’t repeat it
✨ Creating community, kindness, and connection
Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, your campground crew, or your off-grid desert tribe, we want to wish you a warm, joyful, and peaceful day.
**Happy Turkey Day from all of us at Ka-Hoon Campground and Colquhoun Entertainment!**
