Why the Cattle Keep Visiting Our House — Life in a Free-Range State**
*(Off-Grid Talk from Plateau Hame De Colquhoun)*
If you’ve 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 often—especially on TikTok—is:
**“Why are there cattle at your house?”**
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 don’t want to), the cows are basically allowed to drop by whenever they feel like it.
And trust me—they *do*.

## **Why the Cows Love Our Place**
We’re not a fancy resort.
We’re not serving cow snacks.
We don’t 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… they’re 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 they’re testing out new technology.
Honestly?
They’re 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 **Melodie’s Oddities**, there’s 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 you’ve got a life that’s unpredictable—but always full of stories.
So if the cattle walk by our cameras, nosing around like they’re auditioning for a desert reality show…
that’s just life at **Plateau Hame De Colquhoun**.
And we wouldn’t change it.

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.

Off-Grid Dogs Steal the Show During Colquhoun Entertainment Livestream!
Life off-grid isn’t just about solar panels, survival, and simplicity — it’s also about the *joy of the moment*. And no one knows that better than the four-legged stars of **Colquhoun Entertainment**!
During this morning’s **Off-Grid Talk** livestream on **TikTok**, the dogs took center stage — playing, digging, and reminding everyone that sometimes, happiness is as simple as chasing a tumbleweed.
What started as a calm morning chat about off-grid life turned into a comedy show filled with wagging tails, zoomies, and laughter.
These desert dogs are more than pets — they’re part of the Colquhoun family, living free, fearless, and full of love under the endless New Mexico sky.
Catch every hilarious moment and uplifting vibe on **TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook** — because sometimes, inspiration has paws.

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 isn’t quite the same as traditional camping. Every location, setup, and community has its own rhythm — and we want you to make sure it’s 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 — 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 Vault! Spooky Fun & Community Nights at Ka-Hoon Campground 🚜🔥
Haunted Hayride Memories: A Look Back at Our Spooky Community Fun at Ka-Hoon Campground 🎃🚜
This **Vault Video** takes you back to one of our favorite community events — the **Haunted Hayride** hosted right here at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!**
The hayride wasn’t just about spooky fun — 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 — 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 — people coming together under the stars.
👻 **Each year’s 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 desert…

🔥 Raking the Desert for Magic! Preparing the Sand for Our Rangoli of Intentions 🌙
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, we’ll be **drawing directly into the sand**—letting 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, we’ve begun our **first raking of the ground**, softening and smoothing the desert floor so it’s ready for creation. The process itself feels symbolic—clearing away the old to make space for new energy.
When the Rangolis are complete, we’ll gather around the **bonfire**, dance, and celebrate the intentions we’ve 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 experience—where the earth itself becomes the medium for manifestation.

Living on an Island in the Sky 🌄 The Stunning Edge of the Mesa Overlooking the Rio Grande Valley
**Life on Our Island in the Sky – The Mesa Overlooking the Rio Grande Valley**
If you’ve followed our blog, watched our videos, or joined our livestreams, you’ve likely heard us describe our home as an *“island in the sky.”* What we mean by that is the mesa where we live—an elevated desert landscape with sweeping views and a beauty all its own.
Over the past months, we’ve 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. It’s 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 challenges—wind, isolation, and rugged terrain—but it also offers freedom, peace, and connection to nature that can’t 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 isn’t just about showing the views—it’s about inviting you into the off-grid lifestyle, the lessons we’ve learned, and the beauty that makes it worthwhile. Whether you’re 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.
