Happy Veterans Day!! 2023 Haunted Hell Ride

Happy Veterans Day, we thank all the veterans for serving and supporting us!

Not much has been happening here, had a few campers and getting a few things ready for a neighborhood Turkey Day.

We have started to work on next year’s Haunted Hell Ride.We had good reviews from the Hell Ride this year, it did better than we expected, especially being our first. We have learned a few things that we hope to incorporate into next year’s Hay ride. Date is set, though been debating doing one or two nights?

If you’d like to learn more about us here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun and what we do, please visit our website, message us or leave a comment.

We hope you enjoy a few seconds of Dreugan and Amigo playing!

Unwanted visitors on the mesa

Been a few days since I’ve posted. This year allergies have been kicking my butt, which triggers migraines. Anyways enough about that . Not much has been going on here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun other than a few campers and getting ready for a private event this weekend.

Oh we had yet another unwanted 2 legged visitor try to come into a neighbors property. (We think they are after solar and generators, one neighbor had a genny stolen) But thanks to all that came to the Haunted Hay (Hell) Ride we were able to purchase a few new fancy security gadgets to put up on all the roads to helpthe community with these type of visitors. It’s not a fix, but we all hope it helps. Enjoy the video of us running the ridge road.

So many projects not enough sunny days!

photo is rain coming over #ladronepeak.. 2 days of rain and cloudy days is making hard on the little solar system. Rain has also slowed us even more on the bigger 8k system. We are very close to finishing but much of what’s left needs sunny days. Last week all our sunny days we’ve been busy with other life projects.

It’s now evening and clearing off, we are fully booked up with campers for weekend here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. We just finished up getting everything set up for the #campers. We’ve been so busy even Dreugan has passed out.

Night Off with Friends!

We took Labor day night off and had few friends over, Brent and Anne sang  while us (mainly me) who can’t sing sat back and listened. We are getting closer to where Brent can sing almost every night like he used to! Soon, without having to run a generator to run the smaller system.

Day 2 Solar Energy

Second full day home, since we were lazy yesterday and just did few small things.. Today we got the 3500 watt solar setup (one the controller went out and overcharged the batteries) back up and running. We have electricity! Though limited no a/c, can’t run fridge on it nor washer/dryer.

We are hoping to start on the big solar setup it’s a 8 k is 48v with 16 200 watt panels and 12 200 ah batteries. Our 3500 watt is 24v has 6 195 watt panels with 2 100 ah batteries..

Now that the 3500 w solar is back up.. It’s time to wait out upcoming storm!

Issues

We’ve been having phone and camera issues, which had been making it hard to release videos and post pictures. We are working on a solution and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon!

Update on our adventure!
We are in MN and will be enjoying our time with friends and family for another week, before heading back. Once back we are hoping to jump into building the new solar (will positive thoughts that the price of lumber will be lower)! We already have campers (#plateauhamedecolquhoun)booked for August (only a few spots left!) and looking forward to get back into the role of our modern Pioneerism!!! #modernpioneerism #artoftinyliving

No Electricity

Sitting here this morning listening to the wind hit the RV, wishing we had electricity to charge up our devices, watch TV. Yes we can run the generator and do all that. But that also means a noisy generator and using gasoline. But it’d also mean missing the sound of the wind blowing, or even sound of Dreugan at my feet snoring.

Soon we will have the new solar built, set up and it’s big enough to run the RV and Brent’s studio. Which means we can finally get Brent’s stuff out of storage and get the container set up. Then hopefully for the first time since we started this adventure on the West mesa ( or as we call it “Plateau Hame De Colquhoun”) we can feel at home.

Don’t get me wrong we are home, we love it here. But a huge part has been missing and it’s been in storage.
