Join us TONIGHT at 5 PM MST for Music in the Desert, streaming live from the New Mexico desert at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun.
Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious, this isn’t your typical livestream. Expect original music, wild covers, and a little desert chaos thrown in for flavor. You’ll also catch our Offgrid Talk, chats about off-grid living, and a peek at life at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center.
Watch live on YouTube and TikTok via Colquhoun Entertainment, and join a community of people who love desert vibes, music, and spontaneous adventure.
Whether you’re here for the music, the off-grid stories, or the chaos that follows the dogs, there’s something for everyone.
Don’t miss it — 5 PM MST!
“Watch live weekly from Plateau Hame de Colquhoun in New Mexico — Music in the Desert hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious”
Today at NOON MST, step away from the fluorescent lights, emails, and reheated leftovers and join us for a relaxed mid-day livestream — Off-Grid Talk with Melodious.
Broadcasting straight from the New Mexico desert at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, this isn’t a podcast, and it isn’t a lecture. It’s more like sitting outside with friends while solar panels hum, coffee brews, and dogs supervise absolutely everything.
We’ll be talking about: • real off-grid living • solar life and daily challenges • RV and desert living • weird stories from the middle of nowhere • whatever the dogs decide is important
Bring your lunch. Bring your coffee. Or just bring your need to mentally escape work for a little while.
Most Valentine’s plans look the same — crowded restaurants, overpriced flowers, and reservations made weeks in advance.
We offer something a little different.
Music in the Desert returns this Saturday at 5 PM MST with a special Goth Valentine’s Party in the desert, hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and Melodious.
Instead of a formal night out, this is an evening of firelight, desert skies, and live performance. The show features original music and covers, including the song “An Uncertain Silence” by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Watch free from home on YouTube and TikTok through Colquhoun Entertainment
This livestream has become a gathering place for people who want something more personal than a typical concert — part performance, part community, and part late-night conversation around a virtual campfire.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a partner, friends, or simply enjoying the night, you’re invited to join us.
If you’ve watched our latest video, you probably heard the question we get constantly:
“Why does a campground need a membership?”
Fair question.
Most campgrounds are designed for temporary stays. You pull in, set up, stay a few days, and then move along. You might wave to your neighbors… but by the time you learn their name, they’re already packing up.
We realized something.
We weren’t trying to create a place people visit. We were trying to create a place people belong.
At Ka-Hoon Campground – Plateau Hame de Colquhoun, we kept meeting incredible travelers, off-gridders, artists, musicians, and people looking for a quieter life. But the structure of a normal campground meant they had to leave just when friendships started forming.
So we changed the model.
What the Membership Actually Is
The membership isn’t a resort pass. It isn’t a timeshare. It isn’t an HOA.
It’s simply how we keep a stable community instead of a revolving parking lot.
Instead of strict campground policies, our philosophy is simple:
Respect is the rule.
We don’t want a place full of paperwork and enforcement — we want a place where people naturally look out for each other, share skills, and create something together.
What Makes It Different
Our members aren’t just campers. They become part of daily life here.
People garden. People build projects. People share meals. People play music. People host events.
We host regular activities including:
People build projects.
People share meals.
People play music.
People host events.
We host regular activities including:
Music in the Desert live shows
Karaoke nights
Movies and gatherings
Seasonal events
Some members stay a short time. Some stay much longer.
The goal was never to build a campground. The goal was to build a community where people can slow down and live differently.
Who It’s For
This place tends to attract:
Off-grid and solar living enthusiasts
RV and van lifers
Tiny home travelers
Creatives and makers
People escaping strict HOA living
Anyone wanting a quieter, more intentional environment
It’s not luxury camping. It’s not a party resort. It’s a shared space built on mutual respect.
Why We Made the Video
Because the word “membership” confuses people.
It sounds formal — but the reality is the opposite. The membership simply allows us to know who is here, keep the environment safe, and maintain a few real community members rather than alway constantly changing campground.
If you’re looking for a place to just park , we offer multiple platforms to book through
If you’re looking for a place to settle for a while and meet people who actually know your name — you probably understand immediately.
Watch this amazing short video from our off-grid homestead in the New Mexico desert! From unexpected wildlife visitors — like a fox spotted during the Super Bowl — to breathtaking desert scenery, every moment here is unique. Experience the magic of our solar-powered, off-grid lifestyle and explore live music performances by Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Stay tuned for Music in the Desert livestreams, happening Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Enjoy originals, covers, parodies, and storytelling — all set against the backdrop of the New Mexico desert.
Creating Through Change: Why We Keep Making Music and Hosting Events
In a world obsessed with numbers — views, ticket sales, profit, and constant noise — it can be difficult to explain why some of us keep creating anyway.
We live off-grid in the New Mexico desert. Life out here is quiet, demanding, and honest. You work because you must. You create because something inside you refuses to go silent. Survival has very little to do with money, politics, or religion — and everything to do with resilience, purpose, and community.
For us, music and events are not about chasing attention. They are about **connection**.
Joy Is the Measure, Not the Noise
My joy comes from seeing others happy because of something I helped create — campers feeling welcome, people settling in to listen, or an audience connecting with a performance.
Our livestreams have become a real source of that joy.
Attendance has been growing steadily. Many people listen quietly, fully present, faces focused on the music. Others reach out afterward to tell us how much the show meant to them. Some even arrange their schedules around the livestreams so they don’t miss them.
That kind of connection matters deeply.
Not every audience is loud. Some are listening — and that’s just as powerful.
Creating Through Adaptation
My partner is a writer and a creator. He builds worlds with words and emotion. He knows what a piece should feel like — the weight, the atmosphere, the message — even when the path to bringing it to life looks different than it once did.
What matters is not *how* something is created, but **who is creating it**.
The vision is still his. The words are still his. The intention is still his.
Adaptation doesn’t diminish creativity. It proves devotion to it.
Showing Up, Even When It’s Quiet
Livestreaming allows us to reach people we wouldn’t otherwise meet — people who listen from their homes, their workspaces, or quiet corners of their lives. Without it, we wouldn’t have this connection at all.
These moments — the listening, the messages afterward, the shared experience — are what remind us why we keep going.
Creation doesn’t need to shout to be meaningful.
Why We Keep Going
We believe people should be able to live in ways that make sense for them, adapt without being judged, and create without needing permission.
We don’t do this for money. We don’t do this for politics. We don’t do this for religion.
We do this because being human means creating, connecting, and caring — even when it’s quiet, even when it’s unconventional, even when the world isn’t watching.
And for those who have found us through the livestreams: thank you for being there, for listening, and for sharing this space with us.
We’ll be back in venues near you playing the show again — and **Music in the Desert livestreams will be returning soon**.
We’re still here. We’re still creating. And we’re grateful you are too.
Life Is Tough at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center (According to the Dogs)
If you ask our dogs, life at **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center** is incredibly demanding. Not because of danger, weather, or off-grid living — but because someone has to supervise *everything*.
Welcome to relaxed desert life at **Plateau Hame de Colquhoun**, where the biggest challenges involve lounging, watching humans work, and staring intensely at objects that may or may not move.
Living off-grid in central New Mexico has taught us that stress looks different out here. While humans juggle projects, events, and creative work through **Colquhoun Entertainment**, the dogs remain hyper-focused on their self-appointed roles: protector of nothing, rebellious observer, proper overseer, and professional fetch enthusiast.
This balance of calm, creativity, and humor is what makes **Ka-Hoon Campground** special. From hosting **Music in the Desert** to building community through off-grid living, we believe life doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful.
The dogs agree — as long as they’re included in every decision.
Whether you’re here for camping, events at **Ka-Hoon Event Center**, or just a glimpse into an off-grid lifestyle filled with personality, this is what desert living really looks like: grounded, creative, and just a little sarcastic.
🎶 Music in the Desert Tonight | Live at Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center

First Snow of the Season at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center
There’s something quietly magical about witnessing the **first snow of the season in the New Mexico desert** — especially when you live off-grid. At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, the landscape transformed overnight as soft snow settled across the desert floor, creating a rare and beautiful contrast between rugged earth and winter calm.
This **time-lapse snowfall video** captures that moment of transition — the stillness, the shifting light, and the reminder that even the harsh desert has its gentle moments.
Living off-grid means being deeply connected to the elements. When the first snow arrives, it changes everything: the air grows quieter, the desert feels softer, and time seems to slow down. These moments are why Ka-Hoon Campground exists — to offer a place where people can experience nature honestly, without filters or distractions.
Desert Snowfall Meets Off-Grid Life
Snow in the desert is never guaranteed, which makes it even more special when it happens. For those living and visiting off-grid, winter brings challenges, but also incredible beauty. This snowfall highlights the resilience required to live close to nature — and the reward that comes with it.
Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center is more than a place to camp. It’s a creative and alternative desert community built around:
* off-grid living * music and events * quiet desert reflection * independence and simplicity
Whether you’re visiting for camping, staying long-term, or following along online, moments like this snowfall connect us all to the land we share.
