Flowers, weeds, bees and hummingbirds

This year we have these really pretty flowers growing. We think they are gypsum scorpion weeds. Though not sure but the many google searches come up as such. If they are, what we read they can be used as a cover plant to help kill out other weeds. We hope they will smother out the goat heads. We fear that we are screwing up by allowing them to grow, but that last few days we’ve seen many bees and hummingbirds enjoying them. .

If you know for sure what these are let us know.

Getting things ready.

Yesterday we lowered the solar panels to 35°, during this time of year when the panels are at 45° the sun rises behind the panels and they don’t get as much sun for as long. By lowering them to 35°  it eliminates that issue.

If you haven’t seen anyone mow the desert you have now. Yesterday we mowed, raked to get ready for the upcoming events!

Upcoming events here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun more will be coming!

May 6: Jay Floyd
May 8: Camping and Movie “Avatar”
May 19- 21: Nomad Gathering in the Desert
June: 17: Camping and Movie “Avatar 2”
July 15: Camping and Movie
August 19: Camping and Movie
September 23: Camping and Movie
October: West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride

Visit our website or contact us for more information on events, camping or booking your own event.

Off-grid no electricity

It’s that time of year again.. This morning we woke up to no electricity. We didn’t think it was time yet, but now we know for sure. Every Spring and Fall we have to adjust the solar panels angles to get the best sun. Spring and summer if the panels are at 45 degrees they don’t get a full day of sun, as the sun rises behind them, and don’t hit the panels until later in the day. So sometimes in May we lower them to 32 degrees. Last year we had no issues until the end of May, I guess we’ll be lowering them sooner.

Don’t worry we don’t run the batteries low, the inverter is set to shut down at 50% battery.

This week we are getting things ready for Saturdays May 6th concert with Jay Floyd , Monday May 8th Camping and Movie “Avatar” and May 19th to 21st Nomad Gathering in the Desert !

I’m hoping to add pictures of the products that we offer at the Dusty Nail General Store on it’s Facebook page.

We have been working on the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride in October. This year it will be 2 nights of Hayrides. A 45 minute journey through desert roads . Not appropriate for all ages

For more information on these or other events visit our website or contact us.
