Like to join us?!?  Palomar Mountain Home School Kids Club has a fun event planned tomorrow. I was thinking there might be some Mountain News friends who could join in on the last-minute fun.

We are to be there at 11 am and go in as a group.  Free admission.  ($4.00 to ride a train).

2017 Rendezvous in Poway

Everyone is invited to Rendezvous in Poway at Old Poway Park in Poway, California. Visit over 15 living history encampments demonstrating life during California’s turn-of-the-twentieth-century and civil war eras. Meet real cowboys, pioneers, mountain men and women, fur traders, gunslingers, and soldiers. Hop aboard the train, watch gun-fighting demonstrations, view handmade items for sale at the Boardwalk Craft Market, and pan for gold in a unique way near the banks of Rattlesnake Creek.

Click for the details.  The event is through the weekend.

Please call to meet up

Bonnie Phelps – with some great Mountain moms and kids!

Leaves are just starting to turn and it is perfect crisp and cool weather for working outside.  There are still funds for free chipping!  Now is a great time to clean up your property or leave the work to someone else.

On the Fire Safe Council Website you can click on the  link for Local Resources who all do a great job.

Then, get your piles prepared with the cut ends facing a road where the pickup and chipper can drive right up to chip.

Then go on line and fill out the simple form to schedule the FREE chipping.  Be sure to state at the top of the form that “the job is on Palomar Mountain”.

Here is the form with a link to follow for free chipping.

Happy Fall y’all!

What a beautiful rock formation! The hike to Eagle Rock is from Warner Springs where you hike a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail.  Look up along the way and see Palomar Observatory.

Hiking San Diego County is a very helpful website showing many great local hikes. Several are on Palomar with a map and clear directions.

Enjoy!
