Happy Veterans Day, we thank all the veterans for serving and supporting us!
Not much has been happening here, had a few campers and getting a few things ready for a neighborhood Turkey Day.
We have started to work on next year’s Haunted Hell Ride.We had good reviews from the Hell Ride this year, it did better than we expected, especially being our first. We have learned a few things that we hope to incorporate into next year’s Hay ride. Date is set, though been debating doing one or two nights?
If you’d like to learn more about us here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and what we do, please visit our website, message us or leave a comment.
After the successful private event on Saturday, it’s been quiet for a few days. We spent today working on community projects, before the winds started to pick up. Which for me means trying to stay out of the wind as much as possible. We do have campers coming in and one private event scheduled for this month. Enjoy the photos taken here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
If you’d like to schedule an event, come camp please contact us here or through the web site.
The year has gone by so fast, this being our first year opening up for events public and private. It hasn’t been a bad 1st and we are hoping that 2023 will be even better!!
This weekend we have our last scheduled private event for this year.
Most everything is set up and ready for this weekend’s event, just a few minor things to do. So today we are mainly working on staying out of the wind. I don’t know about everyone else but the winds effect me. It gets windy my sinuses and eyes swell up, even while wearing a mask.
Been a few days since I’ve posted. This year allergies have been kicking my butt, which triggers migraines. Anyways enough about that . Not much has been going on here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun other than a few campers and getting ready for a private event this weekend.
Oh we had yet another unwanted 2 legged visitor try to come into a neighbors property. (We think they are after solar and generators, one neighbor had a genny stolen) But thanks to all that came to the Haunted Hay (Hell) Ride we were able to purchase a few new fancy security gadgets to put up on all the roads to helpthe community with these type of visitors. It’s not a fix, but we all hope it helps. Enjoy the video of us running the ridge road.
The season for outdoor Music in the Desert is coming to an end. We had a good first season and hope next year will be even better!! As we grow we plan to build an enclosed stage and deck over the Bluemoon.
We are open all year to campers and smaller events. As always, Contact for more info.
See you again soon!!!

The hardest part of starting a new business, especially something as unique as what we are doing, is getting your name out, getting people to know you are legit. We have come a long way so far already, as we grow we hope to keep adding and advancing. Building an enclosed stage, a deck over the blue moon. Finish the shower,more solar, plant trees, have gardens.
It’s all a process that takes more time than is sometimes available, but when it’s shared as an experience to others it makes it worth while.

This morning on our drive back home from the Aftershock Festival . We think back to 2 years ago to the day, we were making our move from Minnesota to New Mexico.
We have had many people ask us why we are in New Mexico. Here is our story…
We had worked as site managers at an event center for 5 yrs. During one of our yearly events an attendant had asked us if we’d be willing to come to her place in New Mexico for the winter and help her get her property ready to become an event center. After some discussion we decided to do it. (Our plans were to go for the winter then come back to Minnesota, buy land and start our own center) But while in New Mexico working a realtor brought a piece of land to our attention. We fell in love right away and bought it. We had no idea if our dream would work. But we thought we’d give it a try.
This week we have lived on the land for 2 years, and started hosting events 5 months ago. It’s been hard but we are slowly achieving our goal. We couldn’t have gotten this far without the continuous support of some wonderful neighbors, both Minnesota, New Mexico event centers(You know who you are), Rhythmpriest Productions, and not least all our old, new friends and relatives. We thank you all for helping and supporting us, we couldn’t have gotten this far without you all!!
Send positive thoughts, prayers for us to keep working to achieve our goals of having a successful Event center and Campground. A place that is safe for all to come without fear of judgement or ridicule.
We again we thank everyone that has helped supported us!!
