Once in awhile we get campers that love their experience out here, but then drop our ratings due to the roads, and complain about them, acting as we didn’t let them know.
I don’t understand why they act surprise? We have in bright letters on the website, different platforms what the road is like. We have videos on Facebook, imInstragram, and even a few on Tikto oh and the one on the direction page (That we give to everyone that comes out)
The thing is there are plenty of places to stay right off major roads. Many are beautiful..
But if you want tranquility, breath taking views of mountains, skies, areas to hike, bring your ATV, horses, rock pick, let you dogs run a little. Or just sit in your RV, tent and watch the sunset/rise over the mountains, then you usually need to take some out of the way roads.
Weekend has gone by.. Like so many others the weekend doesn’t mean much to us. We have been fairly busy with campers this last week. Yesterday we celebrated both Anne and my birthdays, with a few of the neighbors.
Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band had asked me to make them a few more stuffed items for their merch table. Each piece has Advocatus Diaboli initials on their butt. It felt good they had asked me to do it. I really wasn’t sure I could as I had never made anything like what he had asked. But so far they are turning out good. Once finished, I think we will be adding them and selling for Advocatus Diaboli on our Tiktok store (once I finish setting it up).
HAPPY 20th Birthday Anne Calhoun , though you are now old and past your teenage years..You will always (Unless we adopt, or get another furry kid) be Brent Colquhoun and my little girl..

4 years ago today, we came to what is now Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and had a picnic. Set the Colquhoun stone. Knowing we’d be heading back to Minnesota to get ready to make our move to New Mexico and start our own adventure.
It was an adventure it has been. We’ve have learned far more than we had ever thought. We were full of dreams if becoming a campground and Event center, but at that time we where not sure how, or when or if people would come.
For more information about our adventure thus far visit our website.
The NM 2024 Nomad Gathering in the Desert is getting closer.
We’d like to announce that Katie’s Silver Rainbow Readings will be doing Tarot readings during the Nomad Gathering in the Desert for tips. The Nomad Gathering is May 10th to the 12th here at Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun !
Katie’s Silver Rianbow Readings is also available for in person and online readings!
We’d like to know if we have enough interest to add an Art show? Come show, sell, teach your arts, crafts. Comment or contact us with your thoughts and ideas.

Part One of touring campsites here at Ka-hoon!

The last couple days have been windy out here on the mesa. We did have a couple campers come in during it all, very nice people and we enjoyed visiting and helping them to do few small repairs.
Last Saturday was the April Fool’s Open Mic, that morning Brent and I went out to put up signs, to help direct people out. Just about a mile from our place we found a tent set up on land owned by a neighbor we’ve become friends with, that lives in another state for now, but does come visit his land regularly.
Many people think the land up here is BLM land (This is what this person stated he thought it was). It’s not, it’s all privately owned. If you are looking for places to camp for a bit, come talk to us, we may figure something out. If you do plan to squat do some research first. Some land owners are very (rightfully) protective of their land. We did not run this tenter off, we just highly recommended that he move off that land, which he did.
Many towns people come up here to watch the sunset, see stars, catch the views or travel all the dirt roads. This is fine to do, but we have issues with a few 4wheeler operators going down private roads, cutting through private and marked property, dumping trash or household garbage and tossing beer bottles on the roads. This land isn’t a landfill, pack out your trash! Take your junk to be recycled or to a designated landfill! Come enjoy the views, drive your 4wheelers, picnic, but do it with respect. We don’t go riding through your yard and dumping our trash, or chase after your dogs (that’s rightfully on your property).
Well that’s my rant.. We might be a little quieter this week than normal. We are trying to take a few days off from projects, and events. We plan to enjoy Easter here and hang out with some friends and try not to think about events and projects. Next week we’ll be right back to getting ready for the Nomad Gathering in the Desert !
Until then make sure to visit our website, we still will be available to answer questions. We still have some availability for vendors..
We do have a slight schedule change/inclusion. Saturday May 20th, we may have BINGO. We are thinking of doing it at 1:30pm. Buy in per card is yet to be determined. Prizes to be determined by cards sold.
Let us know what you think a good cost per card is.
Also Saturday night the 20th will be live music by Jer Killinger Singer/Songwriter and J5th & the 77 Riders .
