Movie Night This Saturday, July 8th

Like to see a great Show-deo?  Everyone is invited to the Palomar Christian Conference Center for this week’s Closing Ceremony!  It is amazing what those girls have learned to do in one week.  We go each year and it is so fun to watch!

Our oldest granddaughter happens to be there this week for Horse Camp.  Photos are posted each day:   https://www.facebook.com/PalomarCCC/    Wow!  What a great time these kids are having.

This week’s closing ceremony will begin at 10 am on Saturday, July 8th.  You’re asked to arrive 15 minutes early.    (This is Week 3 of 8 so there will be other Shoe-deos through mid August).

Directions:  Go through the State Park and follow directions to the Christian Conference Center.  When you see the camp buildings, turn into the first parking lot and you will see the horse barn, arena and bleachers off to the left.

It is not too late to send your kids to camp this summer!   There are a few spots left for Horse Camp and the very fun Adventure and Base Camps:   http://www.pccc.org

Our State Park Ranger has organized fun events and YOU are invited!

Birding around Doane Pond followed by a fun Sunset Hike tonight to Boucher Lookout in the State Park. Check out the details on these flyers:

Sunset Hike In the State Park July 3

You might even pack a picnic dinner to enjoy while watching fireworks later from the mountain top.   One year we counted fireworks in 17 different cities!

Have fun celebrating our freedom!

It has been so much fun to watch the transformation of this charming cabin.  The owner/contractor figures there is not much left untouched from the humble beginnings in 1936.  This cabin just very well could be the very best buy in the entire county.  One thing for sure, it is in the very best zip code!!!

Ready to move right in so come take a peek and let’s see if this is the one!

Just minutes away but look Vandenberg direction and you just may see it!  Mike scoped it our from this look-out yesterday so if the launch is to be seen, this is where to see it.

Subject: I’m going to try watching the Space-X launch from State Park Road

Vandenberg is 200 miles away and the air is hazy … but if I’m not watching, I’m sure to miss it! The launch is scheduled for just after 1:25 PM today (Sunday).

It will be live-streamed, including the attempted landing back on the barge “Just Read the Instructions” starting about 2:10.  Here is a link: https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/06/24/iridium-next-mission-2-mission-status-center/

I’ll be on State Park Road, across from Fern Meadow Road, at the turnoff at the Maintenance Yard with binoculars.

By the way, the fire across the ridge to the southeast, south of Mesa Grande, is already being hit with fire suppression aircraft – I see two dropping and one spotting.

The Dunbar Brothers & Son – Big Jim, Tom and Danny stopped by with a wallet they found coming up Nate Harrison Grade.  Full of credit cards, a driver’s license, cash, family photos…  We did some sleuth work and found a sister-in-law on line then finally got a call from the owner.  He said, “if you have my wallet, I’m the luckiest guy in the world”.  He was up here pretty quick from the coast.

He never thought he’d see his wallet again and was facing cancelling all his charge cards, getting a new license and all the rest.  He said the Dunbars restored his faith in humanity.

I told him most all the folks on Palomar would have done the same thing.

This mountain is pretty special that way.

Many of you remember Greg and Kelly Stuever who had a little cabin out on Birch Hill.  Greg has started a new career as a Gun Smith as retirement rolls around. If you or someone you know needs his services, he is a quick call away.
