Glenn Secola is selling the farm.  Well, not the entire farm, but just the coops.  Jean said “It’s either me or the chickens!” So, the coops are for sale. Take your pic of four that might be great at your place!  Call Glenn 760 742-0411 and work it out.  At the same time, you might want to go home with some of his delicious mountain roasted, organic coffee, too!

Last Fall Cecelia Borland drove all the way over to Cymamaca to sit in on an all day class that she has been raving about and learned so much!  Now she is out thinning the cedars to 15 to 20 feet apart, so they can have sun on all sides and survive the next drought.  We are going to have the same great class, with the same trainers, right here on Palomar.

From:  Cecelia Borland

“What a great experience! When I found out about this free class, I drove over to Cuyamaca for the day.  I was so impressed with the presenters, JP Harris and Clay Howe.  Excellent communicators, who have years of experience both managing fires and training firefighters.

I learned so much about reading terraine, evaluating preparedness and defensibility and how best to preserve our home in case of fire. Living where we do, I thought it so important to better understand fire behavior, weather conditions, and survival techniques.  So glad I went.

I would certainly encourage everyone who lives on Palomar to attend this class – you will be fed lunch, too. And it’s FREE! What a deal!”  Cecelia Borland

In my travels, I was turning around the other day at Bailey’s Palomar Resort. When I saw the sun shining on these beautiful dogwoods, I had to jump out and take this for you.  The  dogwoods in the State Park are loaded with flowers this year, too.

If you haven’t seen Bailey’s website in a while, there is a lot of fun history, camping and rental options waiting for you there. Take a look!

Invited to a mountain birthday party last weekend.  When I walked up to the cabin, this VW Bus caught my eye.  One of the guests found the perfect place to pitch their tent.  Just had to share.  (Thanks for the invite and Happy Birthday Nick!)

Sitting behind a desk all day has been a huge motivator for Kevin to have a cabin for their family.  Rachel has been a hair dresser and recently got her Real Estate license so this cabin has been the perfect recipe to de-stress!  They wanted Jack, Noah and Asher to build forts, play in the dirt, help chop firewood and experience cooking dinner ’round the campfire.  Their dream is coming true!  The kids will also be learning some fine craftsmanship and carpentry skills as they help with remodeling and building projects. Lots of fun happening at the cabin as they usually have friends are there, too.  Making some great memories on Palomar!

More New Neighbors

Guy has been a ‘camping parcel’ landowner for about 2 years/  When the cabin adjacent to him came available he didn’t hesitate.  Guy and Oreo love spending time on the mountain as a relaxing getaway whenever they can.  They really enjoy meeting and talking with others who call Palomar home. Guy has always cherished the mountains and nature.  He also is interested in all of the history of the original settlers here and the life they endured to be on the mountain those 100 plus years ago.  Now with a real cabin, with indoor plumbing, a wood stove, and even a furnace, and all the luxuries of home, he might even retire up here someday!

This past week, might have won the prize for the most trips back and forth across this mountain for me.  From Nate Harrison to Birch Hill, I put some miles on my car.  Fun times, touring clients and meeting up with inspectors and contractors for new escrows.

One of the inspections was done during a rainy day and that roof decided it was time to leak a bit.  The buyer actually found this company.  After I met Juan at that first property, I was impressed with his expertise and bid, so took him to a couple other properties for bids there, too.  When you need a roof repair or all brand new, give him a call:

Thanks to Ken and Lynda Ruth on Bailey Road, we have a great new resource for your heating and air conditioning needs.  Ken and Lynda’s furnace went out.  They were so pleased with Matt’s work and the price for the job. Great timing, since a couple more cabins need furnaces, too!  One cabin is even adding an air conditioner.  They sit out there in the sun, so it should really be appreciated this summer for a few days.

Matt will be back soon if you’d like him to head your way.
