Saturday at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and Tour of the Mesa!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. It’s a beautiful quiet Saturday here so far. I got some memories from last year at this time and we were cleaning up tumble weeds. It’s weird as this year the tumble weeds aren’t that bad. Which is nice for us, but poor Dreugan loves chasing and carrying them around. We don’t know Amigo’s reaction to them yet, but he tends to follow his big brother Dreugan around.

The business side of things the Community Tour of the mesa is now officially available to campers to book a tour.

Take a ride on the back roads of the West Mesa. Learn the history of Alien sightings, WW2 bombing practices, old west outlaws, land scams and volcanoes. View the overlooks of the Rio Grande valley and Arroyo, visit the labyrinths, ancient stones, and ruins of 1950’s wells.

Unwanted visitors on the mesa

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.

Talent No Talent Open Mic Music in the Desert

This is our second community open mic event. The first event was more successful than we could have ever imagined. So much so many asked us to do another one.

So we had a meeting of neighbors who all graciously come together to make this happens.

We all love where we live, find it peaceful, we’re not just neighbors, we are a family. As a family, we have opened our doors so other people can enjoy the unique atmosphere we have up here in the middle of the desert on top of a mesa.

Come up enjoy the day and come meet our family. Campsites are available check our website for more info on reserving your spot.

Bands bring tent, RV you get the night free to camp. You must contact us to reserve your spot a head of time.

Waiting out Wind Storm

Sorry we haven’t posted in a few days. Last few days the only thing we’ve been doing has been sitting out the winds. “Fun” part of living on the desert is the winds, especially when you’re on a Mesa. When you go outside your eyes, mouth, get full of sand. Mask helps a little but not much.

Today was better, tomorrow we have another private event, which means getting things setup and cleaned up, tumble weeds are a never ending battle.

Storm coming in

Storm coming in, which means more winds..

We started this journey last January when we purchased the 5 acres we are living on now. We knew this journey wasn’t going to be easy but there are times we feel that things are going backwards instead of forwards. But once we get through those times we remember why we’re here and for what can be.

Frustrated Times

We can’t say it’s been our favorite time here on the mesa the last 4 days. We had 3 days of high winds ripping through and tearing up things. Yesterday the winds stopped we were able to put some of the things back together then took a few minutes to relax and burn. Video of the wind and damages it caused will be on the next Wednesday video.
