Rain in the Valley: A Peaceful New Mexico Desert Monsoon Experience
There are moments in the desert that remind us why we chose this life.
Sitting high on the mesa and watching rain fall across the valley below is one of my favorite things. The New Mexico desert may be known for its dry landscape, but when the monsoon storms arrive, the entire valley transforms.
The clouds roll across the sky, rain curtains move through the distance, and the desert comes alive.
This is off-grid living in New Mexico — finding beauty in the quiet moments, appreciating nature, and sharing the journey from our little piece of the desert.
Watching Rain Fall Across The New Mexico Desert
From the top of the mesa, every storm creates a different view.
The valley below changes as rain moves across the landscape. The smell of desert rain, the sound of thunder in the distance, and the peaceful atmosphere create a moment that is impossible to recreate anywhere else.
Living off-grid teaches you to appreciate things many people overlook:
The first drops of rain after a dry season
Storm clouds building over the mountains
The beauty of the desert landscape
Quiet moments away from the noise of everyday life
The connection between nature and simple living
New Mexico Monsoon Season: When The Desert Comes Alive
Many people imagine the desert as endless dry land, but New Mexico’s monsoon season brings incredible beauty.
Rainstorms bring:
Dramatic desert skies
Cooler temperatures
Changing landscapes
Wildlife activity
A renewed feeling of life across the mesa
These storms are a reminder that even in harsh environments, nature finds a way to thrive.
Off-Grid Desert Living at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun
Our journey is about more than just a location. It is about creating a place where people can experience the desert, music, and nature.
From the mesa views to live performances, Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center offers a unique New Mexico experience for those looking to step away from the ordinary.

The Monsoon Arrives: First Real Rain Hits the New Mexico Desert
After months of extreme heat, dry conditions, and the relentless New Mexico desert sun, the skies have finally opened. The first real rain of the year has arrived at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun, marking the beginning of monsoon season on the mesa.
For those living off-grid, rain is more than just weather—it is a moment of change. The sound of rain hitting the desert, the smell of wet earth, and the transformation of the landscape remind us how powerful and important every storm can be.
This is the beginning of our monsoon journey as we document the storms, the calm between weather systems, and the way the desert comes alive after rainfall.
The First Monsoon Storm of the Year
The first major storm of the season arrived with powerful energy. Dark clouds rolled across the New Mexico desert, winds moved through the mesa, and much-needed rain began falling across the land.
After weeks of intense summer heat, the cooler air and rainfall brought a welcome change. The desert, which can appear quiet and still during dry periods, begins to transform when the monsoon arrives.
During monsoon season, we experience:
Dramatic desert storm clouds
Powerful rain and changing weather patterns
Cooler temperatures after extreme heat
New life returning to the landscape
The challenges and rewards of off-grid living
At Plateau Hame De Colquhoun, every storm becomes part of the story of living with the land.

Experience the arrival of the first real rain of the year as the New Mexico monsoon begins.

A Break Between Storms: The Calm Before the Next Wave
After the first storm moved through, we entered a brief break between storms.
The desert became quiet again, but the skies showed signs that more weather was on the way. These moments between storms are some of the most beautiful parts of desert living—the cooler air, the changing clouds, and the anticipation of the next rainfall.
Monsoon season in New Mexico is unpredictable. One moment the desert can be dry and still, and the next it can be filled with thunder, wind, and rain.
This constant change is what makes desert life so unique.
Watch the Break Between Storms
Join us during a peaceful moment between storms as we watch monsoon season continue across the New Mexico desert.
Living Off-Grid During Monsoon Season
Off-grid living means being connected to the environment around us. Weather affects our daily routines, solar power, outdoor projects, animals, and life on the mesa.
Rain brings challenges, but it also brings appreciation.
Every storm reminds us why we chose this lifestyle:
To experience nature firsthand
To protect and preserve the land
To build a community connected to the desert
To appreciate the simple moments that many people never see

Behind The Scenes: More Than Just Off-Grid Living
When we started sharing Behind the Scenes: Off-Grid Living, we discovered something important.
There are many incredible creators sharing their off-grid lifestyles — but for us, this isn’t a performance.
This is simply our everyday life.
Living off-grid means adapting to:
Desert weather
Solar power limitations
Changing schedules
Nature’s unpredictability
Building creativity with limited resources
Instead of making off-grid living the main focus, our behind-the-scenes content will now show what happens behind the entertainment:
Celebrate Independence Day with a one-of-a-kind live music experience in the New Mexico desert. Colquhoun Entertainment presents “Music in the Desert,” a raw, immersive 4th of July performance featuring original songs by songwriter Advocatus Diaboli.

This is independent music culture at its core—unfiltered, experimental, and deeply connected to the land and community.
To experience it in person, visitors can book a campsite at Ka-Hoon Campground and become part of the live desert audience.
Tonight at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun, we’re giving viewers a rare look behind the scenes of Music in the Desert, our off-grid live music show hosted by Brent Calhoun of Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
