Hot June Days at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

We been working hard on trying to stay cool, yesterday so far had been the worse. The wind)sand storm made it so we had to shut most of the windows. Running fans, shutting down shades to keep the sun out it was 99 inside, 110 outside.
We decided than that we’d go into town, get showers and hang out in the car AC. We can start the generator and run the AC in the RV, if we didn’t need to go into town we may have done so for couple hours. Nice part of living here the nights usually cool down, last night we got down to the 60s (nice sleeping temps!).

Sunsets here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

One thing we here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun are proud of are the sunsets. After traveling we saw some beautiful sunsets, but I have to say the ones here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun are one of if not the most beautiful. The colors, mountains, I might be biased but I feel we have a reason to be.

Heat, cooling towels and movie night!

Today’s a little warm with heat in the upper 90s. Though the dogs are enjoying their cooling towels and laying in front of the fan. Amigo took his towel off and laid on it. Dreugan is letting the fan hit his. We use cooling towels that absorb water and tend to stay cool for a while. We’ve found them to be very handy for us and the dogs.

Take your Dad out this Saturday for a night of sitting under the stars for camping and Movie Night here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun !

Movie “Avatar 2 The Way of Water” starts at Dusk.

Movie is free, free parking is available. There is a short walk from the free parking area.

Laundry Day while Anne in Classes

While Anne in Classes Brent and I take advantage of the trip and get laundry done. But don’t think we’ll be coming back to this laundromat. It’s clean, but only a couple of the washers work, and the price is more than those in Belen. The dryers cost more yet don’t dry your clothes. Next week we’ll probably go back to Belen. One visit to this laundromat we found a syringe on the folding table.

We came here as it’s closer to the college, but traveling a little further is the better choice.

Other news.. The new Studio is setting up nicely. In need of bookshelves if anyone knows of any. We are looking for cheap stairs (in good shape) to go to the deck on top of the studio. We’ve been thinking about the spiral staircase.

Don’t forget this Saturday will be the camping and Movie Night !

We are also in need of Volunteers for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride a 2 night event October 20 and 21! Free camping those 2 nights for all volunteers.

Contact us for more information.
