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.

These Desert Dogs Took “Solar Power” Way Too Seriously! ☀️🐾 | Funny Off-Grid Moments

Desert Nap Champions — Our Dogs Perfect the Art of Sunbathing ☀️🐾

Even in the desert, life finds its rhythm — and for our furry family at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, that rhythm is *nap, stretch, repeat.*

These off-grid pups have truly mastered the art of soaking up the sun. With no stress, no schedules, and no worries, they remind us daily that sometimes the best use of solar power is a good nap.

Out here, every day is an adventure — but even adventurers need their rest. Whether it’s Vibria, Dreugan, or one of the other four-legged members of the Colquhoun crew, they always find the perfect sunny spot for a little desert downtime.

If only we humans could relax this hard! 😂
Enjoy this lighthearted moment from life off-grid and remember: *take a break, enjoy the sun, and nap like nobody’s watching.*

Fan Spins Backward Then THIS Happens?! Mysteries of the West Mesa | Caught in the Desert 🌵

Vault Video: Mysteries of the West Mesa — “Sucked Off” | What Happened That Night?

Out here in the New Mexico desert, strange things can happen when you least expect them.

One May night, while lying in bed, the box fan in our window suddenly stopped… then began spinning backward. Almost instantly, we felt a strange pressure — as if the air itself was being sucked from the room.

Our first thought was that our solar system had gone out, but everything else was still on. Then, as Brent reached for the fan, it suddenly returned to normal — running like nothing had ever happened.

Thinking it might be a tornado, we ran outside only to find a clear, starlit sky. As we stood there trying to make sense of it, a group of military helicopters appeared out of nowhere, hovering over us for several seconds before heading north, disappearing into the night.

What do you think this was? A coincidence, an environmental anomaly, or something more mysterious?

Stay tuned for more episodes of **Mysteries of the West Mesa** — and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments!

🎃 Haunted Hayride Vault! Spooky Fun & Community Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground 🚜🔥

Haunted Hayride Memories: A Look Back at Our Spooky Community Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground 🎃🚜

This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events — the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**

The hayride wasn’t just about spooky fun — it was about **bringing people together**. All hayride proceeds went right back into the community, helping fund **projects and improvements** that everyone could enjoy together.

Alongside the hayride, we filled the night with **live bands**, **campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**, **games**, **bonfires**, **potlucks**, and more. Every year brought something a little different — new faces, new frights, and new memories.

Whether you were here for the music, the laughter, or the screams echoing through the desert night, each Haunted Hayride was a reminder of what makes this community so special — people coming together under the stars.

👻 **Each year’s events vary**, and the Hayride may or may not return, so **stay tuned for our 2026 schedule!** You never know what spooky surprises might be waiting in the desert…

General Announcements

We’ve been dealing with the heat and working on staying cool.

A few solar issues arose recently, including a cable being torn off the combiner box. We are unsure how this happened but are currently working on better safeguarding the area to prevent future incidents.

Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band will be performing at Stage Luchetti on June 29th.

Needed

Additionally, we are in need of an old 10×10 canopy frame (or equivalent). We don’t need the top; the frame doesn’t need to be perfect but should be repairable. We plan to decorate it with fairy lights and set it up in the Cahoots Courtyard. If anyone has something that could work, please contact us.

Thank you all for your continued support!

A Tranquil Saturday at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center in Rural New Mexico

It’s a languid Saturday here in the heart of New Mexico, where the warmth of the day encourages us to find ways to stay cool. Amidst this tranquil setting, I thought I would share a delightful moment captured on camera: a rabbit hopping through our grounds and Dreugan, our faithful companion, displaying his charming antics with a touch of bravado.

In this serene desert landscape, life moves at a gentle pace. The simplicity of our surroundings allows us to appreciate the small joys and whimsical occurrences that make each day unique. The video we captured offers a glimpse into these moments, showcasing the natural beauty and quietude of our off-grid existence.

### The Allure of Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we pride ourselves on providing a haven where guests can unwind and reconnect with nature. Our unique setting, free from the trappings of modern conveniences like electricity and internet, offers a sanctuary for those seeking solace and simplicity. Here, everyone is welcome, irrespective of their background or beliefs. We cherish the diversity of our visitors and strive to create an environment where no one feels like an outsider.

### Embracing Nature and Community

Our mission is two-fold: to support our simple way of life and to preserve the natural beauty of the Southern point of the West Mesa. By protecting this land from modern development, we aim to maintain its pristine condition for future generations to enjoy. We invite you to join us, whether it’s to camp under the vast New Mexico skies, participate in our events, or simply share in the tranquility of this unique desert oasis.

By revisiting the charm of rural life from a century ago, we hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the simple pleasures it offers.
