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.
