Subject: Palomar Fire Station Up-staffed for storm

Per Cal Fire Division Chef Nick Schuler, Palomar Mountain Fire Station 79 will be staffed with two engines starting tomorrow due to the expected snow and the possibility of a large number of mountain visitors.

Rincon Fire Station (the one near Highway 76 and Valley Center Road) will also be staffing an extra engine to assist with any calls on the South Grade.

They will re-evaluate after tomorrow to see if Sunday up-staffing will be needed.

Is this your dog? This gorgeous, well mannered black lab mix with white chest was wandering around Oak Knoll.

We have him in a temp kennel for tonight but if no one claims him, we have to leave tomorrow morning so we’ll let him loose hoping he’ll find his family.

Thank you!

The horse trailer is cleaned out and loaded with some bales of hay.  Rain, sleet, or snow we invite you to go caroling tonight.  We’ll climb in the trailer and warm up a bit between stops.  The cowboy can seat four more in his warm truck, too.  (Reserve your spot!)

6:00 pm  -Meet at our ‘Square House’ on State Park Road. (Let me know if you need directions).  We’ll pile in the back of the trailer and stop at cabins with lights on ’round Baileys, Crestline and Birch Hill. We’ll be back here for hot chocolate, cider, coffee, and appetizers.

Bring:  Family, friends, umbrellas, flashlights, appetizers or whatever or just yourselves, plus lots of smiles and good cheer!

Provided: Song sheets, coffee, hot chocolate and cider (and a few mountain made cookies by some local kids).

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it’s lovely weather
For a horse trailer ride with you…

Yes, that is right!  Hoping to have fresh snow pix real soon, meanwhile, “Neither, rain, nor sleet, nor snow or the dark of night shall keep us from these fun tours on Palomar”.

You’re always welcome ’round our fire then let’s take off and explore: http://www.palomarproperties.com

Well, I see the video included in the last post didn’t show up in the email.  But, when you click on the subject of the posts, it opens to the PMNews page that shows the video… and the snow (I’m all for that!):

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.

Meanwhile, dream along with me:

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!

Imagine yourself enjoying seeing the sun shimmer on the Pacific from your 9 acres of privacy on Palomar.

Maybe you just finished another delicious dinner cooked over your campfire…

after spending the day hiking and planning where you’ll build your dream cabin.  Go ahead, dream big and bold!  You have a Tiny Home waiting for you to ‘snuggle inn’.

Look, there it is! Tucked away in your well-cared for forest of healthy cedar, oaks and firs.

Oh, please come in, I just happen to have the keys.  Let’s take a peek:
