That is what we are promised!  Only rain so far, but have this pic from a few years ago to get us in the mood.

Do you have a cabin that needs to be winterized?  Just a nudge to double check and make sure all will be well after freezing temps.  Here are some more tips for you: http://www.mypalomarmountain.com/snow  You’ll also see the weather link there and some local webcams.

Another new family has joined Palomar as new neighbors on weekends!

Bill and Cheryl  Kaiser have been visiting Palomar Mountain ever since  their children, Dylan and Amelia, were little, mostly to see snow, hike around and then return home. They are both veteran public school teachers. Cheryl teaches humanities in middle school. Bill teaches high school world history, journalism, macroeconomics, and U.S. government and politics (he has really been busy these past couple months!). However, when they’re on the mountain they don’t like to think or talk about any of that! Palomar is perfect because they also don’t like long drives or flying in airplanes. The mountain is great because it’s so different than coastal North County, where they grew up, yet not very far away — and without the bustle of other vacation destinations. They look forward to discovering trails, experiencing the many moods of weather, enjoying the views, and meeting the many friendly people who wave when they drive past. 

Welcome Kaiser Family!  It will be so fun to see your cabin remodel progress!

Some of you might remember Bill and Grace Leibold, who built the ‘Ship House’ out on Birch Hill. I just had a lovely conversation with Bill who shared a bit if his day at Pearl Harbor 75 years ago.

Bill was 18 years old when he was assigned to the USS Pruitt, in the Navy yard undergoing overhall. It was in dry-dock with two other destroyers that were a total loss that fateful day.

He and a group from the ship had just finished breakfast. “It was a rather busy morning. I heard a noise and went to look outside the window. I saw the ‘big red meatball’ on the side of a plane, so I yelled out, “It’s the Japs!”. We headed for the stairwell to get out and back through the ship yard. We went back to our ship but were told that the USS Pennsylvania needed help. The young officer knew we weren’t part of the ships company. He asked our duty and battle stations on our ships. I said I was a gun pointer on the Pruitt so he assigned me to a gun on the Pennsylvania. I provided assistance to keep a steady flow of ammunition.  My two shipmates on the gun next to mine, unfortunately lost their lives that day. I picked up a little bit of shrapnel. When it was removed, it was given to me in a jar as a good luck souvenir. Two years later it went down in my locker when the USS Tang sunk. In my days as a diver I always thought it would be a good idea to go down in there and get my good luck charm back. But, it is in the bottom of the ocean. ”

Bill still has his 50 year commendatory medal that Congress awarded 25 years ago. This was given in honor of the 50^th year anniversary since Pearl Harbor. 1941 is now 75 years ago. At 93 years of age, Bill is one of the last survivors of Pearl Harbor and the last survivor of the USS Tang.

Like to really get in the Christmas Spirit and take in a play this weekend?  You are invited by some pretty fun mountain kids (and Frosty) to see their show.  All the details are here: http://clcfamily.org/theatre/ Tickets available on line or at the door.

I’m  thinking we should have some theatre up here again!  Meanwhile, the show is at this end of Escondido but worth the drive because they are serving homemade cookies and hot cider after!  Some of those cookies were mountain made and a certain Cowboy even made fudge!

Hope some of you can join in the fun!  We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
