A Quiet Visitor Passed Through the Campground Last Night
One of the things about living off-grid is you eventually realize…
We’re not the only ones who live here.
Last night our security cameras recorded a small nighttime visitor calmly wandering through the campground. No panic, no mess, no interest in anything we had — just a peaceful stroll across the property like it had somewhere important to be.
From the shape, ears, and long tail, it *looks* like it may be a fox — but we aren’t wildlife experts. If anyone familiar with desert animals recognizes the species, feel free to let us know what you think.
Whatever it was, the little traveler appeared healthy, relaxed, and completely at home in the desert.
Honestly… probably one of the most polite guests we’ve ever had.

Sharing Space With the Real Residents
People sometimes imagine desert living as empty.
It isn’t.
It’s just quieter — and the neighbors don’t knock.
We see tracks in the mornings, hear distant calls at night, and every once in a while the cameras show us who actually lives here full-time. Moments like this are a reminder that we didn’t create this place. We simply settled into it.
We don’t chase wildlife.
We don’t feed wildlife.
We don’t disturb wildlife.
We just observe and respect.
Out here, coexistence matters more than ownership.

The Desert and the Music
Experiences like this are part of why we created **Music in the Desert** in the first place.
The land, the stillness, the stars, and the unexpected moments all shape the atmosphere of what we do.
Sometimes the audience is people listening to the music.
Sometimes… it’s whoever quietly passes through under the night sky.
**Music in the Desert** is hosted by:
🎙 *Advocatus Diaboli*
🎶 *Melodious*

We’re grateful to share the desert with every respectful visitor — human or otherwise.

It’s Monday Before Thanksgiving… and Even the Mountain Has Given Up! 😂🌄
**Monday Before Thanksgiving: A Little Inspiration From Ladrón Peak**
It’s the Monday before Thanksgiving here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, and as we look out toward the beautiful silhouette of **Ladrón Peak**, we’re taking a moment to breathe, smile, and laugh at ourselves—because if there’s one universal truth, it’s this:
**Nobody has their life together on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Not even the mountain.**
While some of us are trying to plan the perfect dinner, others are debating if pie for breakfast counts as “getting ahead.” And honestly? Ladrón Peak isn’t judging—it’s just standing there, doing its majestic thing, refusing to move on a Monday. A mood we can all relate to.
So take a breath, sip your coffee, and remember:
**You’ve got this.
Barely.
But still… you’ve got this.**
From all of us here at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we hope this week brings laughter, warmth, and maybe a nap or two before the turkey chaos begins.
