Jack and Simon just spent their third week as the newest mountain twins and whatdoyouknow, dad had a job change!  Mom is already busy packing again, their moving van knows the way to Palomar, and they will be heading back to city life. So sorry to see them go but let’s get ‘Honey Stop the Car’ sold again, soon!

Moving Van Came up the Nate!  https://palomarmountainnews.wordpress.com/2016/06/12/moving-van-came-up-the-nate/

One of the most charming, vintage cabins and a garage (Wow, a garage is very special for Palomar!) is being offered for a new owner to enjoy.  Built during our Real Estate boom in 1924, most is very original.  A big stone fireplace has a wood stove now, and even propane heat for the cabin.  How special is that!  The county records show 709 sf but that is only the living room, big kitchen, a bedroom and bath. You also have steps up to a sleeping loft with three beds to choose from. In addition to that, a ladder takes you to a walk-out basement that had been a small apartment in the past.  Now used for storage and laundry.  There are projects waiting for you but meanwhile, many possibilities to step back in time a bit.

Let’s take a look around:

Is that the most amazing stove?!?    More pix soon!  Offered at $129,000.  Let’s set a time to tour!

Who will rescue this stove?  Wouldn’t it be fun to see this stove restored in one of the cabins on Palomar.  It is FREE to pick up on the mountain.  Just comment below, and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Staging a new cabin-on-the-way, we came across three sets of encyclopedias and about 150 National Geographic magazines.  All you home-schoolers out there or fans of a real book you can hold in your hands, now is your chance.  Free!

Simply comment or call and I’ll get you headed in the right direction.

Thank you!

Your Fire Safe Council has been working toward a grant utilizing the California Conservations Corps on Palomar.  It was great to meet Steven Kirsch and Phil Lembke and take them on a mountain tour.

There are several areas the FSC pointed out that need grooming.  It looks very promising for the CCC’s to start on grooming the area across the road from the Fire Department, and then along the south side at the top of South Grade, to give us a bit of a fire break if fire is heading our way.

Tomorrow is our monthly meeting and you are always welcome.  Phelps place on State Park Road.  10 am.  Comment below if you’d like more info.

So thankful to wake up to clear air this morning.  This was our view about dinner time last night. You can see the smoke blocking the view a bit to Catalina out there. About 10 ish, our place got really smoky – kind of hard to get to sleep. Guessing the fire fighters were working overtime to get that fire put down.

It was strong reminder about the importance to keep our properties groomed to be more fire safe.  We all have job security up here with all the growth from the frequent spring rains.  Like some help?  Here is Fire Safe Council’s list of locals ready to go to work:  http://www.mypalomarmountain.com/fsclocalresources.pdf
