**Desert Dog Chronicles: Life With Our Off-Grid Canine Crew**
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert brings a mix of peace, chaos, wildlife, and plenty of four-legged entertainment. Our dogs have become masters of desert life, each with a personality that adds something unique to our days. From patrol duties to playtime to dealing with unexpected nighttime visitors, every day is its own adventure.
## **Meet the Desert Crew**
### **Dreugan – The Commander**
Dreugan is the leader of the group, the one who takes charge, keeps watch, and makes sure everyone is doing exactly what they *should* be doing… even if they rarely are. He oversees everything with a seriousness that makes the rest of the chaos even funnier.
### **Vibria – The Fearless Powerhouse**
Vibria may be young, but she’s strong, fast, and muscled up—a true desert athlete. She barrels across the sand with confidence, taking on bushes, wind, odd noises, and imaginary threats with equal enthusiasm. Nothing scares her, and nothing slows her down.
### **Lurch – The Proper Gentleman**
Lurch approaches desert life with elegance, caution, and a surprising amount of politeness. Whether he’s stepping over rocks or weaving through brush, he does it like he’s wearing an evening coat and should not be soiled.
### **Persephone – The Ball Enthusiast**
Persephone has one mission in life: **her ball**. She doesn’t dig, wander, or chase after desert creatures. Instead, she sits in perfect focus, waiting for playtime. The world could fall apart around her, and she would still be locked onto that ball like it holds the secrets of the universe.

## **Daily Life in the Desert**
Each day begins with energy, excitement, and the dogs bursting into the outdoors like it’s their personal playground. Dreugan immediately takes charge of patrol, Vibria launches into high-speed adventures, Lurch attempts to stay clean and composed, and Persephone waits patiently for someone—anyone—to throw that ball.
The desert gives them plenty to investigate: shifting scents, rustling brush, birds overhead, and the occasional coyote strolling by. It’s a never-ending landscape of curiosity, freedom, and fun.

## **Nighttime Visitors: The Free-Range Bulls**
When evening falls, the desert comes alive in a very different way. New Mexico is a free-range state, meaning cattle can roam anywhere in their designated range unless fenced out. That includes right by our home—something we’re perfectly fine with.
The bulls especially seem to enjoy our area. Some nights they challenge each other, bellowing, hollering, and wrestling until sunrise. It’s loud, chaotic, and very much part of our off-grid life.
The dogs take it all in stride. Dreugan stays alert, Vibria watches with interest, Lurch keeps a respectful distance, and Persephone continues to focus entirely on her ball.

## **Life Off-Grid Brings Stories Worth Sharing**
Living in the desert with this crew means there’s always something happening—unexpected visitors, playful chaos, and moments of pure comedy. Our dogs love the space to run, explore, and express their personalities in ways only the desert can inspire.
Every day here brings a new story, and these four make sure it’s never boring.

Caught on Camera: Desert Trespassers, Midnight Bulls & Off-Grid Chaos at Ka-Hoon Campground!
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.

When the Neighbors Are Cows 🐄 Sunset Visitors at Ka-Hoon Campground | Off-Grid Life with a Laugh!
When the Neighbors Are Cows: Sunset Visitors at Ladron Peak”
Out here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, our “neighbors” tend to wander in without knocking — and tonight, it was a herd of free-range cattle stopping by for a sunset stroll! 🐄
While most folks get visits from friends or delivery drivers, we get cows casually grazing their way through the desert, acting like they own the place. As the sun dipped behind Ladron Peak, painting the sky in gold and fire, our four-legged guests posed perfectly for nature’s evening show.
Living off-grid means sharing space — sometimes with coyotes, sometimes with wind, and sometimes with a curious cow sniffing your camper steps. But honestly, it’s part of the magic out here. Peace, laughter, and the occasional moo. 🌄
If you’re looking to experience real desert life — complete with unforgettable sunsets, open skies, and maybe even a surprise cow encounter — visit http://www.plateauhamedecolquhoun.com and book your stay today!

Cat Turns Desert Into a Jungle—You Won’t Believe What It Hunts Next! 🏜️😹
The Desert Stalker: Life Lessons from a Cat on the Hunt
Living off-grid in the desert means learning to move with purpose—just like our desert cat. Watch as this feline stalks through the tall grass like a miniature lion, every step calculated, every rustle suspicious. Out here, even a tumbleweed can be an enemy—or a toy.
When you live off-grid, you start to see a bit of yourself in the cat: alert, patient, and maybe a little too proud after catching nothing but dust. But that’s desert life! You adapt, you hunt for what you need, and you do it with style (and maybe a flick of the tail).
So grab a cup of coffee, watch the hunt, and remember—out here, survival looks a lot like curiosity with attitude.

Desert Roads Flooded After Just a Few Drops of Rain! Free-Range Cattle Loving It 🌧🐄
Desert Rains Bring Surprising Floods Near Ka-Hoon Campground
Out here in the desert, it doesn’t take much rain to change the landscape. Over the last couple of days, we’ve had a little rain at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center—but not much at all. Just a few miles north of us, though, the roads told a different story.
Check out the video to see a few flooded spots, including one where free-range cattle were happily wading through the water. It’s amazing how such a small amount of rain can cause puddles, washouts, and mud across the mesa.
That’s desert life—one moment it’s dry and dusty, and the next, the roads are soaked. Even if we don’t get much on our end, the surrounding areas can flood quickly, and it can take a few days before the roads fully dry out.
Living off-grid in the New Mexico desert means embracing these surprises. From music echoing at Ka-Hoon Campground to cattle enjoying rainwater pools, the mesa is always full of unexpected beauty.

You Won’t Believe What We Found with a Blacklight After Our Desert Music Show!
Desert Nights: Finding Scorpions with a Blacklight After Music in the Desert
Life in the desert is always full of surprises. After wrapping up **Thursday night’s Music in the Desert livestream** here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, curiosity got the better of me. I decided to take out a blacklight to see if I could spot any desert scorpions.
We don’t usually see them around, but the desert has a way of revealing its secrets when you least expect it. Sure enough, under the soft glow of the blacklight, I found a couple of scorpions shining with their eerie, fluorescent glow. It was fascinating to see how these desert creatures light up at night, a reminder of how much life is hidden just beneath the surface.
Many people worry when they hear the word *scorpion*, but out here they really don’t bother much. They tend to keep to themselves, blending into the desert sands. Catching sight of them with the blacklight was more of a scientific curiosity and a chance to share the unique experiences of **off-grid desert living**.
Whether it’s **live music under the stars, camping off-grid, or stumbling across glowing scorpions**, Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is full of unforgettable experiences. Every day brings something new, and every night holds a little mystery.
If you’ve ever wanted to see what off-grid desert life is like, join us for our **TikTok livestreams every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday** on our Colquhoun Entertainment profile. From music to wildlife, you never know what adventure the desert will bring next.

“How We Attracted Birds to Our Desert Campground: Simple and Effective Tips”
### Attracting Birds to Ka-Hoon Campground: Our Journey
When we first moved out to the desert to establish Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, the bird population was sparse. The area was predominantly populated by ravens and hawks, with few small birds in sight. Over time, however, we have noticed a delightful increase in the variety of birds visiting our site. Here’s how we achieved this transformation.
#### Creating Bird-Friendly Spaces
Our approach to attracting birds was simple and organic. We focused on providing natural perches and safe landing spots. Containers, poles, and even water sources for our cats and dogs doubled as hydration points for birds. These small efforts created a welcoming environment for our feathered friends.
#### Water: The Essential Element
Water is a crucial resource in the desert. By ensuring there are accessible water sources, such as shallow dishes and pet water bowls, we provided birds with a necessary hydration spot. This simple addition quickly became popular among local bird species.
#### Native Plants: A Natural Attraction
One of our most successful strategies was transplanting and caring for native plants known to attract birds and butterflies. These plants not only offer food and shelter but also create a habitat that feels familiar and safe for the birds. By nurturing these plants to full bloom, we have created a vibrant ecosystem that supports local wildlife.
#### Observing Positive Changes
As we continued to maintain and improve our bird-friendly initiatives, we observed a steady increase in the variety and number of small birds. The once sparse bird population now includes a diverse array of species, contributing to the natural beauty and biodiversity of Ka-Hoon Campground.
#### Our Commitment to Wildlife
Our efforts to attract birds are part of our broader commitment to preserving and enhancing the natural environment at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. By integrating sustainable practices and respecting the local ecosystem, we aim to create a harmonious and thriving habitat for all wildlife.
#### Conclusion
Attracting birds to Ka-Hoon Campground has been a rewarding journey. Simple steps like providing water, creating landing spots, and planting native flora have made a significant impact. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support and enjoy the diverse birdlife in our desert home.
