stargazing New Mexico – Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center

Monday morning looks a little different at Plateau Hame de Colquhoun.

There are no traffic jams, no office buildings, and no commute — just sunrise over the desert and coffee before the solar batteries finish charging.

Life at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center means starting the day with quiet, wide skies, and the occasional unexpected visitor wandering through the property. Off-grid living teaches patience, humor, and flexibility… especially on Mondays.

Here, we don’t rush the week. We ease into it.

While most people are heading back to work, we are preparing for our weekly livestream Music in the Desert, produced by Colquhoun Entertainment and hosted by Advocatus Diaboli with Melodious moderating the community.

The show streams every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, bringing live music, stories, and real desert life to viewers everywhere.

Monday is the calm before the music.

So if your morning feels chaotic, stressful, or overwhelming — just remember somewhere in the New Mexico desert the day starts slower, the sky is bigger, and there’s always another sunset coming.

🌌 Life in the Desert: Night Skies, Cool Air, and Canine Joy

One of the things I absolutely love about living in the desert is the breathtaking view of the night sky. Out here, far from city lights and surrounded by open space, the stars put on a show every night. With little to no light pollution, it’s easy to get lost staring into the cosmos — planets, constellations, and sometimes even meteor showers.

Daytime in the desert is a whole different story. With temperatures climbing well over 100 degrees, we tend to go dormant during the heat of the day, focusing on ways to stay cool and conserve energy. Even the dogs know to take it easy. The sand gets scorching hot, so they usually lounge in the shade or stay indoors until things cool off.

But when the sun goes down? That’s when the magic happens.

As the desert starts to cool, we all come back to life. The dogs race around the yard, tails wagging, chasing shadows and each other. We sit outside, soaking in the cooler air, watching the sky transition from golden sunsets to deep star-filled black. It’s peaceful, grounding, and absolutely beautiful.

**Last night’s view was especially breathtaking.** The mostly full moon lit up the desert, casting soft shadows and adding a silvery glow to everything. It made sitting outside completely worth it — the kind of night that reminds you why you live out here. The stars still sparkled, but that moon stole the show.

Sometimes we go live on TikTok to share this little slice of desert life — the calm, the stars, the moon, and the dogs doing what dogs do best: playing under the night sky.
