đ” Off-Grid Talk Today at 11 AM MST â Real Life, Real Desert, Real Resilience
Living off-grid isnât about perfection â itâs about **adaptation, creativity, and resilience**, especially when youâre doing it in the New Mexico desert. Today at **11:00 AM MST**, weâre hosting our **Off-Grid Talk** live, sharing real experiences from daily life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**.
Normally this talk happens earlier, but today weâve shifted to **11 AM** due to other live activities happening on the homestead. Off-grid life teaches flexibility â and this is a perfect example of that in action.
đ What Weâll Be Talking About
This isnât a glossy, influencer version of off-grid living. This is the **real deal**:
* Power management in extreme desert conditions
* Living comfortably without hookups
* Building community while living independently
* Lessons learned from failures (because there are plenty)
* How music, creativity, and nature keep us grounded
From **Music in the Desert** to daily life with the dogs, the studio, and the land itself â off-grid living here is a blend of grit, humor, and freedom.
đïž Why Off-Grid Works for Us
At **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, off-grid living isnât about isolation. Itâs about **intentional living**, mutual respect, and creating a space where people can be themselves without judgment.
Some days the desert is calm and peaceful. Other days it reminds you whoâs really in charge. Either way, we show up, adapt, and keep moving forward â and thatâs exactly what todayâs talk is about.
### đ¶ More Than Just Power and Solar
Off-grid life here also means:
* Live music and creative expression
* Community gatherings at Ka-Hoon Campground
* Advocatus Diaboli & the Grim Leafer Band
* Conversations that matter
Because surviving off-grid is one thing â **living fully off-grid is another**.
đ **Join us live today at 11:00 AM MST**
Whether youâre curious about off-grid life, already living it, or just need a reminder that resilience can be joyful â youâre welcome here.
Freedom, creativity, and the desert way of life⊠powered by the sun and a lot of determination.

Why Cattle Keep Visiting Our HomeâLife in a New Mexico Free-Range State Explained!
Why the Cattle Keep Visiting Our House â Life in a Free-Range State**
*(Off-Grid Talk from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun)*
If youâve ever watched our **Offgrid Talk** videos or tuned in to **Music in the Desert**, you already know that living out here at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun** comes with some surprises. But one of the questions we get most oftenâespecially on TikTokâis:
**âWhy are there cattle at your house?â**
Fair question.
And the answer is simple:
### **We live in New Mexico⊠a free-range state.**
That means cattle are free to roam in their designated grazing areas, and unless *we* put up fencing (which we really donât want to), the cows are basically allowed to drop by whenever they feel like it.
And trust meâthey *do*.
—
## **Why the Cows Love Our Place**
Weâre not a fancy resort.
Weâre not serving cow snacks.
We donât even have cow Wi-Fi (yet).
But the cattle absolutely adore the same things that bring you and me joy:
* Solar cameras
* Solar lights
* Motion sensors
* Anything with a blinky light
* Anything that beeps
* Anything that looks even slightly expensive
If it glows, flashes, or makes a sound⊠theyâre going to investigate it.
Some people fight off raccoons.
Some people fight off squirrels.
We fight off **solar-loving cows** who try to boop the cameras at **Ka-Hoon Campground** like theyâre testing out new technology.
Honestly?
Theyâre better security guards than any alarm system.

## **Life at Ka-Hoon Campground**
Living beside free-range cattle is just part of the charm here.
Between the cows, coyotes, jack rabbits, the animatronic chaos of **Advocatus Diaboli** and the **Grim Leafer Band**, and the unusual acts booked through **Melodieâs Oddities**, thereâs never a dull moment.
Throw in the desert sound work from **Jafo Productions**, a few off-grid challenges, and nightly entertainment through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, and youâve got a life thatâs unpredictableâbut always full of stories.
So if the cattle walk by our cameras, nosing around like theyâre auditioning for a desert reality showâŠ
thatâs just life at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun**.
And we wouldnât change it.

Itâs Monday Before Thanksgiving⊠and Even the Mountain Has Given Up! đđ
**Monday Before Thanksgiving: A Little Inspiration From LadrĂłn Peak**
Itâs the Monday before Thanksgiving here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, and as we look out toward the beautiful silhouette of **LadrĂłn Peak**, weâre taking a moment to breathe, smile, and laugh at ourselvesâbecause if thereâs one universal truth, itâs 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 âgetting ahead.â And honestly? LadrĂłn Peak isnât judgingâit’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:
**Youâve got this.
Barely.
But still⊠youâve 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.

Thinking of Long-Term Off-Grid Camping? Watch This Before You Book Your Stay!
Try Before You Stay: Why We Recommend Short-Term Off-Grid Camping First
At Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, we get asked all the time about long-term stays. While we do welcome longer bookings, we always suggest starting with a short-term visit first.
Living off-grid or camping long-term isnât quite the same as traditional camping. Every location, setup, and community has its own rhythm â and we want you to make sure itâs the right fit before committing.
A shorter stay gives you the opportunity to adjust, test your setup, and get a feel for the land, the desert environment, and our off-grid lifestyle. Many guests who plan for months end up realizing they prefer shorter visits, while others fall in love and extend their time here.
We want your off-grid experience to be positive and comfortable â and that starts by giving yourself the space to try it first.
Book a few nights, breathe the desert air, connect with nature, and see if Ka-Hoon Campground feels like home.

Haunted Hayride Memories: A Look Back at Our Spooky Community Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground đđ
This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events â the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**
The hayride wasnât just about spooky fun â 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 â 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 â people coming together under the stars.
đ» **Each yearâs 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 desertâŠ

đ„ Raking the Desert for Magic! Preparing the Sand for Our Rangoli of Intentions đ
Preparing the Desert for the Rangoli: Raking the Ground for Our Night of Intentions
As we prepare for our **Rangoli celebration on November 1st** at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, the desert is becoming our canvas. This night is all about **manifesting goals, intentions, and personal transformation** beneath the wide New Mexico sky.
Instead of using chalk or powders, weâll be **drawing directly into the sand**âletting the natural earth guide our designs. Each participant will create their own **Rangoli of Intentions**, using simple tools or even their hands to carve symbols that represent what they want to attract, release, or change in their lives.
To prepare, weâve begun our **first raking of the ground**, softening and smoothing the desert floor so itâs ready for creation. The process itself feels symbolicâclearing away the old to make space for new energy.
When the Rangolis are complete, weâll gather around the **bonfire**, dance, and celebrate the intentions weâve set together. The night will blend **art, energy, and community**, bringing light and purpose to the desert sands.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind off-grid experienceâwhere the earth itself becomes the medium for manifestation.

Living on an Island in the Sky đ The Stunning Edge of the Mesa Overlooking the Rio Grande Valley
**Life on Our Island in the Sky â The Mesa Overlooking the Rio Grande Valley**
If youâve followed our blog, watched our videos, or joined our livestreams, youâve likely heard us describe our home as an *âisland in the sky.â* What we mean by that is the mesa where we liveâan elevated desert landscape with sweeping views and a beauty all its own.
Over the past months, weâve taken you along the edge of this mesa during livestreams, and shared photos and clips that capture just a glimpse of the experience. But seeing it in person is something truly unforgettable. The edge drops off dramatically, opening to the breathtaking Rio Grande Valley below. Itâs a reminder of the raw, natural power of the desert and why we chose this lifestyle in the first place.
Living off-grid on a mesa comes with its challengesâwind, isolation, and rugged terrainâbut it also offers freedom, peace, and connection to nature that canât be matched. Every sunrise and sunset feels like a gift when it stretches across the valley floor, painting the sky in colors that pictures never fully capture.
For us, sharing this journey isnât just about showing the viewsâitâs about inviting you into the off-grid lifestyle, the lessons weâve learned, and the beauty that makes it worthwhile. Whether youâre interested in off-grid living yourself or simply curious about life on the mesa, we hope our stories inspire you.
Stay tuned for more videos, livestreams, and photos as we continue exploring and sharing our island in the sky.
