Kicking Off the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground: Open Mic Night & Upcoming Summer Hootenanny!**
Spring is slowly settling in here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center, and we’re gearing up for our **first small event of the season on April 19th**! This year, we’re trying something new with a **hybrid Open Mic Night** — both **in-person** and **online**. Can’t make it out to the desert? No problem! Join us on TikTok (details coming soon) and be a part of the fun from wherever you are.
We’ll likely start earlier for our in-person performers, then move online after dark. TikTok has a few limitations on songs, so we’re planning around that — stay tuned for finalized times and links!
Even though we haven’t made much progress on projects around the campground (thanks to the wind and a steady flow of campers), it’s been busy in all the best ways. Brent’s still struggling with his arm, but he’s seeing an orthopedic specialist this week — fingers crossed for good news and a simple fix. He’s ready to get back to using his hand and helping out more again.
**Looking ahead to July**, we’re excited to announce our **Halloween in the Summer Hootenanny** — an epic weekend of camping, music, and spooky fun under the desert stars. Decorate your campsite, join the campsite trick-or-treating, show off your costume, and even vend your handmade or unique goods if you’d like.
**Event Highlights:**
– **Live performance by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band**
– **Campsite-to-campsite trick-or-treating**
– **Costume contest**
– **Free entry for attendees**
– **Free vending for campers**
– **$12 for non-camping vendors (covers the whole weekend)**
– **$12 per campsite/night (up to 5 people per site)**
Got a bigger group? Reach out — we’re happy to work with you.
**Ready to experience off-grid fun, good vibes, and a safe space to be yourself?** Come join us in the beautiful New Mexico desert. Visit our website for details, directions, and more:

✨ **Embracing Community: A Potluck Gathering in the New Mexico Desert** ️
✨ **Embracing Community: A Potluck Gathering in the New Mexico Desert** ️
Living off-grid in the vast expanse of the New Mexico desert offers a lifestyle filled with unique challenges and rewarding moments. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting a potluck meal with our neighbors, reminding us of the importance of community in our lives.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the desert landscape, we gathered to share food, stories, and laughter. Each dish was a labor of love, reflecting the diverse backgrounds and culinary traditions of our small community.
In a place where self-reliance is key, we’ve learned that community is equally vital. Whether lending a hand during tough times or celebrating life’s moments together, our bonds strengthen our sense of belonging and security.
Living off-grid presents unique safety considerations, from navigating rugged terrain to preparing for extreme weather. By fostering camaraderie and support, we create a safety net that extends beyond our individual homesteads.
As the evening closed and stars emerged overhead, illuminating the desert sky, we felt grateful for the connections forged with our neighbors. In a disconnected world, our desert community is a beacon of warmth and shared humanity.
As we face challenges and adventures ahead, we take comfort in our community. Together, we navigate off-grid living guided by solidarity and support.
Here’s to more potluck gatherings, shared sunsets, and camaraderie in the desert. May our community thrive, rooted in kindness and mutual support.
Until next time,
Melodie and Brent Colquhoun

Unexpected Encounters: Living Among Free-Range Cattle at Ka-hoon
Living out here on the Ka-Hoon Plateau Hame De Colquhoun has its unique charms, and one of my favorite aspects is the presence of free-range cattle. These majestic creatures usually keep their distance, but every now and then, they decide to pay us a visit.
Last night was one of those occasions, and it was quite the unexpected encounter. As I hadn’t turned on the motion alarms to keep the cattle away from our buildings and solar panels, one curious cow sauntered right up to our homestead. It seemed she had a particular craving and decided to make a stop at the Dusty Nail General Store – or at least, that’s what it looked like!
Standing just outside the dog fence, she seemed unfazed by the presence of our vigilant canine companions. With a nonchalant demeanor, she leisurely grazed on the grass, completely indifferent to the curious stares from our furry friends.
It’s moments like these that remind me of the beauty and unpredictability of life out here in the wilderness. Despite the occasional surprises, sharing our space with these gentle giants adds to the charm of our rustic lifestyle. Who knows what other adventures await us in the days to come?

Storm coming in
After wrapping up our work in the studio, we stepped outside and noticed that a storm was approaching. We decided to make the most of the situation by heading back home and taking some time to let the dogs out and play with them before the storm arrived. It was a great opportunity to enjoy some quality time with our furry friends while staying safe and dry inside.
