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!!

I would love to know how individuals keep their RV from being cluttered.. Something we have not accomplished.. Sure few things we can down size, and we do often.
Living in a tiny place with 2 full time humans, 1 part time, 3 full time dogs, a cat and a part time dog does make it hard to keep things organized. But we love it even when unorganized and cluttered..
Ignore the vacuum, cleaning supplies in the photos, I am still cleaning and took a break to post. The RV is about ready to move, no matter if we sit for a day, week or months, I always have extra cleaning, storing before we move.
Yesterday we took Anne’s puppy our grandpup in to get spayed. Since Anne got her at a humane society in Albuquerque you’d think the pup would go to a vet in Albuquerque.. Nope we had to go to Edgewood, which was a 2 hour drive for us.
Since it was too far for us to drive twice we stayed around town, with all the dogs (15 hours too long to leave locked in at home).
We did get to visit the local zoo Wildlife West Nature Park a very nice park well worth the visit!! Room and shade in the parking lot for the dogs, they got to walk and play a little!
We also got to drive down Route 66 over the musical road.. The signs are gone showing you where the spot is, but still can hear the music.
Now the pup is back home, relaxing and healing. We are getting ready for our trip to CA to go to Aftershock Festival this coming week. Stay tuned for pictures and videos!
Next week we’ll be heading off the land for a couple weeks to attend Aftershock Festival in CA. Plateau Hame De Colquhoun will remain open to campers while we are gone.
We are excited to be hosting a private event this weekend, October 21 will be the Haunted Hay (Hell) Ride and Haunted Hell Ride & After Party With Dirty Brown Jug Band
Featuring Dirty Brown Jug Band
Amigo the pup update
He is 9 weeks old today. Dreugan loves to play with him, though Dreugan tends to play a little “ruff”, soon Amigo will be able to keep up. We’ve been taking him for rides in the pickup and car to get him ready for next week’s trip.Last night was Amigos first full night of sleep, we even had to wake him up at 3 am to take him out.
